The past decade has witnessed a fruitful proliferation of increasingly high performance scalable computing systems mainly due to the availability of enabling technologies in hardware, software, and networks. ""The Handbook of Research on Scalable Computing Technologies"" presents ideas, results, and experiences in significant advancements and future challenges of enabling technologies. A defining body of research on topics such as service-oriented computing, data-intensive computing, and cluster and grid computing, this Handbook of Research contains valuable findings for those involved with developing programming tools and environments in computing as well as those in related upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses.
