I assumed Chris is busy and am sending the draft chapter for comments and
review.
I will paste the full draft at the end of email, but mainly we need every one's
attention to the ensure the description and scope of the project is broad
enough to grow but also concrete enough to make immediate sense. I will start
on a short and concise description:
executing and managing computational jobs on local clusters through Grid and
Cloud computing resources
Cheers,
Suresh
