The NextGRID Vision and its Realisation
This document addresses a business-orientated audience interested in exploiting the opportunities the Grid creates. It presents the vision of the NextGRID project and shows how that vision is being realised. It introduces the principal outputs of the project, namely the Generalised Specifications and associated Cookbook, which enable commercially viable Grids, conforming to NextGRID architectural principles, to be implemented.

The NextGRID Vision and Architecture Whitepaper
This whitepaper sets out the vision of the NextGRID project in terms of the capabilities and opportunities we anticipate from Next Generation Grids; the principles and challenges we see as central to providing an architecture for such future grids; examples to illustrate why these principles are important; and our roadmap for how the vision can be realised.
