Grid guru: An interview with Argonne's Steve Tuecke (IBM developerWorks)

IBM's developerWorks features an interview with Steve Tuecke on the topic of grid computing. "Although scientists have been using Grid technologies since the Condor project began scavenging up idle computer cycles at the University of Wisconsin in the mid-1980s, the really exciting vision of Grid computing -- a set of open and ubiquitous standards that real world developers will use for distributed computing -- remains a vision of the future. One of the people most actively involved in making that vision a reality is Steve Tuecke, lead software architect in the Distributed Systems Laboratory at Argonne National Laboratory and lead architect of the Globus Toolkit, the popular implementation of the OGSA (Open Grid Services Architecture) middleware standards that are the basis of Grid computing."
