Multi-disciplinary research in greenhouse soil management through Grid Computing

Abstract

Grid Computing technologies have the potential of dramatically changing the use of computers in solving problems. Complex Grid Computing projects are under development worldwide. An academic Grid computing project that joins forces of four universities and one research institute of Iasi, Romania, is under development. The University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Iasi, Romania participates in this project with soil science research services. Such an multi-disciplinary application is described in the paper.
