Abstract
Advances in Grid computing are stimulating the emergence of novel types of Grids. Accessible Grids, manageable Grids, interactive Grids and personal Grids represent a significant evolution of Grid computing. More and more researchers are realising the potentials of emerging Grids in bridging the current gap between Grid technologies and end users. Nevertheless, no reviews or classifications on emerging Grids are available. Therefore, this chapter aims to give a review on Grid systems. It sets out to develop a comprehensive classification of both traditional and emerging Grid systems with an aim to motivate further research and to assist in establishing a solid foundation in such a rapidly developing and expanding field.

Ontologies Application to Knowledge Discovery Process in Databases
A software architecture for geographically distributed PDKD (Parallel and Distributed Knowledge Discovery) applications called Knowledge Grid, which is designed on top of computational Grid mechanisms provided by Grid environments. The Knowledge Grid uses basic Grid services and they are organized into two layers: Core K-Grid Layer, which is built on top of generic Grid services, and High-Level K-Grid Layer, which is implemented over the core layer.
