Abstract: | The University of Melbourne, Experimental Particle Physics group recognises that the future of computing is an important issue
for the scientific community. It is in the nature of research for the questions posed to become more complex, requiring larger
computing resources for each generation of experiment. As institutes and universities around the world increasingly pool their
resources and work together to solve these questions, the need arises for more sophisticated computing techniques. One such
technique, grid computing, is under investigation by many institutes across many disciplines and is the focus of much development
in the computing community. ‘The Grid’, as it is commonly named, is heralded as the future of computing for research, education,
and industry alike. This paper will introduce the basic concepts of grid technologies including the Globus toolkit and data
grids as of July 2002. It will highlight the challenges faced in developing appropriate resource brokers and schedulers, and
will look at the future of grids within high energy physics.
