Abstract: Abstract Most of the results presented in this book were created within the BEinGRID project. BEinGRID, Business Experiments in GRID, is the European Commission’s largest integrated project funded by the Information Society Technologies (IST) research, part of the European Union’s sixth research Framework Programme (FP6). This consortium of 96 partners is drawn from across the EU and represents the leading European organizations in Grid Computing and Service Oriented Infrastructures (SOI) and a broad spectrum of companies covering most vertical markets keen on assessing the benefits to their productivity, competitiveness and profitability from using Grid and Cloud Computing solutions. The mission of BEinGRID is to generate knowledge, technological improvements, business demonstrators and reference case-studies to help companies in Europe and world-wide to establish effective routes to foster the adoption of SOI technologies such as Grid and Cloud Computing and to stimulate research that helps realizing innovative business models using these technologies. In terms of technology innovation BEinGRID has defined and steered the technical direction of Business Experiments (BEs) in all vertical market sectors by offering them bestpractice guidance in each of the stages (requirements, design, prototyping, demonstration), thought-leadership in tackling innovative problems and technical advice for improving the BE solution.
