Abstract
This chapter presents a historical record of the advent of Grid with a recourse to some basic definitions commonly accepted by most researchers. It discusses the current and potential users of Grid computing and the expected changes in the user base as it gains popularity. The role of the Internet infrastructure in shaping the grid evolution received detailed treatment. Furthermore, the chapter contrasts grid computing with distributed and peer-to-peer computing and highlighted the salient features. Finally, the chapter discusses the recent advances in Web and Grid service technologies, including international projects, emerging standards and organizations, and the current challenges faced by Grid researchers.

Porting Applications to Grids
The Open Grid Services Architecture, describes an architecture for a service-oriented grid computing environment for business and scientific use, developed within the Open Grid Forum. OGSA is based on several Web service technologies, notably WSDL and SOAP. Briefly, OGSA is a distributed interaction and computing architecture based around services, assuring interoperability on heterogeneous systems so that different types of resources can communicate and share information. OGSA has been described as a refinement of the emerging Web Services architecture, specifically designed to support Grid requirements.

Agent-Based Web Services
The open grid services architecture is a set of core capabilities and behaviors that address key concerns in grid systems. OGSA uses most of Web service technologies, notably WSDL and SOAP, but it aims to be largely agnostic in relation to the transportlevel handling of data upon the grid.
