EU Funded Grid Development in Europe

Several Grid projects have been established that deploy a “first generation Grid”. In order to categorise existing projects in Europe, we have developed a taxonomy and applied it to 20 European Grid projects funded by the European Commission through the Framework 5 IST programme. We briefly describe the projects and thus provide an overview of current Grid activities in Europe. Next, we suggest future trends based on both the European Grid activities as well as progress of the world-wide Grid community. The work we present here is a source of information that aims to help to promote European Grid development.
