Reseña del editor

We wish to extend a warm welcome to the reader of this extended postp- ceedings publication of SAG 2004, the 1st International Workshop on Scienti?c Applications on Grid Computing. This workshop was held in September 2004, in conjunction with the 2004 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Joint Conference on Web Intelligence (WI 2004) and Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT 2004). The WI and IAT conferences have provided, for several years, a leading - ternational forum to bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse ?elds,suchascomputerscience,informationtechnology,business,education,- man factors, systems engineering, and robotics, to explore the fundamental roles as well as practical impacts of arti?cial intelligence (AI) (e.g., knowledge r- resentation, planning, knowledge discovery, and data mining, intelligent agents and social network intelligence) and advanced information technology (IT) (e.g., wireless networks, ubiquitous devices, social networks, the Wisdom Web, and data/knowledge grids), and to examine the design principles and performance characteristics of various approaches in intelligent agent technology.

Reseña del editor

This book originates from the First International Workshop on Scientific Applications of Grid Computing, SAG 2004, held in Beijing, China, in September 2004. Besides 8 thoroughly revised reviewed full workshop papers selected from initially 29 submissions, 10 invited papers from leading researchers complete coverage of the relevant topics and make this book a representative survey of current research activities in the field of grid computing applications.

The papers are organized in topical sections on data-based applications; bioinformatics applications; application architectures, frameworks, and models; accounting and market-based architecture; and resource and information management on the grid.
