Giving instantaneous fast access to an amount of data
and applications magnitudes greater than today
multistep distribution of data from global centers to
research departments in enterprises and universities
access to computing power and data of the entire Grid
enable scientists to carry out simulations without
being concerned about underlaying hardware or
software details (transparency)
new paradigms for human-computer interaction :
synthesis of media technologies and networking
new style of scientific problem solution : no longer ask
�What can I do with computers accessable for me ?�
but �What problem do I want to solve ?� and �simply�
use appropriate Grid capacities
