About The Book
Desktop Grid Computing by Christophe Cerin provides an in-depth exploration of the desktop grid computing paradigm, focusing on techniques used in the development of various models, algorithms, and tools designed to implement this technology. The book addresses the core challenges faced in middleware design, including:

• Scheduling

• Data Management

• Security

• Load Balancing

• Result Certification

• Fault Tolerance

The book is divided into two main parts:

1. Foundations – The first part covers the basic concepts and initial ideas of desktop grid computing. It provides a solid foundation for understanding the key principles and techniques used in this field.

2. Advanced Issues – The second part delves into more challenging problems and future directions for desktop grid computing. Each chapter identifies key sub-problems, discusses both theoretical and practical challenges, and includes implementation details and experiments for real-world deployment.

This resource is one of the first to offer a comprehensive and up-to-date presentation of desktop grid computing, detailing various approaches, models, and recent trends that have influenced the development of desktop grids. The book provides a balanced approach, covering both theory and real-world applications, helping readers understand the practicalities of deploying desktop grid platforms on large-scale systems.

Ideal for students and professionals in distributed computing, cloud computing, and middleware design, this book offers an invaluable guide to understanding and solving key problems in the field of desktop grid computing.
