- And why the focus on Grids?... These systems empower massive calculations such as those needed in science such as computational linguistics and analytics (Poulin) or computational physics (Khanna).
- But...these systems are hard to program. If not conceptually difficult, they are time intensive (man-hours). Once one has an implementation in one environment, it is heavily tied to that architecture. This is a 'non-trivial problem' as it is currently the challenge of one of the co-author's dev teams (Poulin). So...
