Abstract
The basic idea about metacomputing is to utilize a variety of geographically dis- persed resources, such as computers, storage systems, data sources and special devices, which are seen by the user as a single unified resource. This new com- puting paradigm was born with the growing success of the Internet which made it possible to link remote high-performance computers for the collaborative use.
