Many
analyst think the next generation of the web will be the so called
grid system, where not only the information can be public or freely
accessible, but several services connected to the information
processing could be available to anyone. This approach probably leads
to new perspectives in information accessing and processing.
The grid
computing is essential to the future of Europe. The European Commission
thinks that the grid computing would lead to a new technological
revolution for Europe. The development and employment of the
shared-resource computer systems must be an important instrument for
the enhancement of the research and development activity. Eventually
the result would be the advance of the competitveness over against the
USA and Japan.
As
Viviane Reding -high commissioner of the Commission- had pointed out in
the recent past the grid networks are elemental to answer the
challenges of productivity and growth. This technology is the key to
the initiation of the new european society of information, which lasts
until 2010 (i2010: European Society of Information for growth and
employment).
The
development of the grid technology which Reding was pointed out to, is
now being led by a new generation of european experts bringing a next
technical revolution. The accessibility and development of new
generation services are widening, through this several social and
economical problems can be solved.
The
European Research Area will establish a mass inner market in the Union
for the people concerned with research activity. According to the
Commission’s conception this would be a doubled (70 billion euro)
budget Seventh Framework Programme.
