FP6 BEinGRID - Business
Experiments in GRID
The BEinGRID project aims at
presenting a number of
practical cases to illustrate
the current potential of Grid
computing for changing the
way companies and
enterprises conduct business.
In this context, the ESA DUE
GlobAEROSOL service has
been selected among the
possible choices that could be
found in the aerospace
industry, since its
characteristics actually
illustrate many of the
challenges posed by actual
Earth Observation (EO)
services. GlobAEROSOL
provides daily data on aerosol
parameters by processing the
