FIRB / Grid.it
• A Research Project in ICT.
• Advances and innovations in methodologies and technologies for the realization and utilization of Large-scale platforms and Grids.
• Coordination with the European Community strategies for Next Generation Grid.
• Advances and innovations are evaluated in terms of their capability to solve very critical, real problems in the medium-long term.
• Current standards in ICT are assumed as the technological starting point (e.g. Objects, Web services, Globus), over which new technologies are studied and built.

Where innovation is required (1)
• Covering the gap between a set of, even powerful, ICT technologies (Web, Databases, Objects, etc) and their effective integration into a system (Grid) for multidisciplinary applications and virtual organizations.
• All the system levels need new solutions or advancements in current solutions.
• Security mechanisms and policies must be applied to all levels.
