Chapter member Narine Gevorgyan participated in the Third International Conference “Distributed Computing and Grid-technologies in Science and Education”.

It is a third conference on this topic that is held by the Laboratory of information technologies of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research. From the year of holding the first conference, Grid and distributed computations have exceeded the limits of only scientific applications. The present-day Grid-technologies allow one to integrate the computer centers located in different parts of the world and to provide the world community with their computing resources. The innovative technologies peculiar to our time demand the development of enormous, high-performance computations. Not only different areas of natural sciences but also industry and business have to deal with huge volumes of information. The Grid changes the technique of scientific research and starts influencing the commercial and financial world. The distributed information network Grid- environment created for the last few years is capable of solving a wide spectrum of problems that require processing and analysis of enormous data volumes.
