A	ARDA	A Realisation of Distributed Analysis for LHC.In response to the recommendations of the report of the ARDA RTAG of November 2003, the LCG Project Execution Board agreed on the goals and organisation of a project to coordinate the activities to prototype distributed analysis systems for the LHC experiments using a grid.
	ApGrid	ApGrid is a partnership for Grid computing in the Asia Pacific region. ApGird is an open community encouraging collaboration and it is not restricted to just a few developed countries. As of the end of May 2004, 49 organizations from 14 countries were participating in ApGrid.
	ARCH	Architecture Area.The Architecture Area hosts working and research groups that aim to define architectures for Grid computing. Architecture has been described as bakery, receiving high quality ingredients (ideas and strategies) from various sources, and in turn delivering a well baked concept. The architectural process involves selecting those design components that best fit together to create a balanced atheistic solution that meets the goals for which the architecture is intended.
	Alliance	A collaboration of small application communities that develops systems and runs on the persistent grid infrastructure.
B	BioGrid	Biogrid is conducting a trial for the introduction of the GRID approach in the biotechnology industry. The project is focusing on the integration of three existing technologies - agent technology, automatic model classificiation technology and knowledge visualisation technology - and the production of a working prototype biotechnology information GRID.
	BLAST	Basic Local Alignment SearchTool [3] is a widely used search algorithm that is used to compute alignments of nucleic acid or protein sequences with the goal of finding the n closest matches in a target data set. BLAST takes a heuristic (rule-of-thumb) approach to a computationally highly intensive problem and is one of the fastest sequence comparison algorithms available, yet it still requires significant computational resources. It doestherefore benefit from being run in a grid computing context.
	BoilerMaker	The BoilerMaker system developed at Argonne National Laboratory allows multiple users to collaborate on the design of emission control systems in industrial incinerators. The different users interact with each other and with a simulation of the incinerator. The simulation itself can be updated more quickly using the grid technology.
C	CERN	CERN is the European Organization for Nuclear Research, the world's largest particle physics centre. Here physicists come to explore what matter is made of and what forces hold it together.
	CIC	Core Infrastructure Centres.CIC have two fundamental roles: to operate essential grid infrastructure services that are not required at each Resource Centre; and to act as a Grid Operations Centre providing monitoring and operational troubleshooting services. In addition they play a crucial role as second-level support to the ROCs for operational problems.
	Cluster Computing	Back in the last century,scientist put some PCs together and got them to communicate.This was the first cluster.Clusters can have different sizes. One of the big advantages of this approach is "scalability": a cluster can grow simply by adding new PCs to it. Of course there are limits, because somehow the computers have to communicate with each other, and this starts to get pretty hairy when there are many computers. But clusters of hundreds of computers are not uncommon nowadays.
	Consumer Grids	In a Consumer Grid, resources are shared on a commercial basis, rather than on the basis of goodwill or mutual self-interest. Companies or other organizations rent distributed resources, and the owners of these resources are paid for the computing power or data storage capacity they contribute, by a "middleman" in charge of the middleware.
	Condor	Condor is a Project to develop, implement, deploy, and evaluate mechanisms and policies that support High Throughput Computing (HTC) on large collections of distributively owned computing resources. Guided by both the technological and sociological challenges of such a computing environment, the Condor Team has been building software tools that enable scientists and engineers to increase their computing throughput.
D	DataGrid	DataGrid is a project funded by European Union. The objective is to build the next generation computing infrastructure providing intensive computation and analysis of shared large-scale databases, from hundreds of TeraBytes to PetaBytes, across widely distributed scientific communities.
	DataTAG	The objective of DATATAG is to implement a network infrastructure for a truly high-speed interconnection between individual GRID domains both in Europe and the US.The project will incorporate the design and implementation of advanced network services for guaranteed data delivery, transport protocol optimisation, efficiency and reliability of network resource utilisation, user-perceived application performance and middleware interoperability across different domains.
	Digital Archives	To migrate an application for heterogeneous metadata management into a Grid service, DOREGrid has gained its early success in demostrating the feasibility of managing digital archives among virtual organizations.
	DOREGrid	DORE(DOcument REtrieval) is a middleware,library and tool,for programmers to develop metadata database application.To integrate different Metadata query system, we start a new project based on GT3 and try to constrcut a appropriate framework to perform it. We have achieved integrating existing DORE application and we still work on building new framework.
	Distributed Computing	Whenever there is a problem due to lack of computing power (a complicated calculation or an applications that require more computing power than a single computer can provide) the solution is to link computer resources from across a business, a company or an academic institution. The network of computer is then used as a single, unified resource.
	DRM	Disk Resource Manager (DRM) is what we typically call an SRM implementation on top of a disk system. A DRM is a component that controls the use of a shared disk cache in a data grid.
E	EGEE	Enabling Grid for E-sciencE.The aim of EGEE project is to build on recnet advances in grid technology and develop a grid service infrastructure in European which is available to scientists 24 hours-a-day.
	EuroGrid	The EUROGRID project is a shared cost Research and Technology Development project (RTD) granted by the European Commission (grant no. IST 1999-20247). It is part of the Information Society Technologies Programme (IST). The grant period is Nov 1, 2000 till Jan 31, 2004. The EUROGRID project will demonstrate the use of GRIDs in selected scientific and industrial communities, address the specific requirements of these communities, and highlight the benefits of using GRIDs.
