Dear Colleagues:

After having studied several Data Grid related projects, we have developed "A
Taxonomy of Global Data Grids". We then mapped it to several Data Grid projects
and technologies developed by various researchers around the world. A
technical report presenting this taxonomy is available for download from:
http://www.gridbus.org/reports/DataGridTaxonomy.pdf

It will be great to hear your comments on its completeness or its mapping to
Data Grid systems/applications. We would like incorporate your comments into the
paper before submitting it for consideration to a suitable Journal!

We look forward hearing from you in the near future.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards
Raj (on behalf of co-authors)
