Everything about E-Science
Science done using systematically-complex computation
E-Science, also known as eScience, is the practice of conducting computationally intensive scientific research in highly distributed network environments. This form of science involves the use of substantial data sets that necessitate grid computing, a method of leveraging multiple computers to process large data sets efficiently. Wikipedia →
