Grid Economics and Business Models

TAGS: None

The Journal of Grid Computing is set to publish a special issue on Grid Economics and Business Models. This was mentioned today in GRIDtoday and the call for papers is available here in .pdf format.

Economics is a pet interest of mine, and application of this science to the science of Grid is something that analysts attempt to do all the time. With this special issue, anyone who responds to the call for papers gets to be an analyst. This is sure to provide some fascinating and hopefully inspiring results.

Given the usual scientific nature of this publication one might be concerned that it may yield more academic discussions as opposed to those more suited to the business practical. However, I'll point out that the special issue co-editor is Wolfgang Gentzsch. While Dr. Gentzsch carries with him impressive academic credentials to be sure, he also has a wealth of enterprise experience, notably with Sun Microsystems, and has first hand experience with large scale grid deployments.

This special issue is sure to be a "must read".
