  <b>Abstract</b>
Initial part  of this  informal talk will  be an introduction  to grid
computing. I will then present a perspective of the usefulness of grid
computing to  different kinds of  scientific problems, and  tell about
experiences on setting  up and using the Finnish  national grid called
<a href="https://extras.csc.fi/mgrid/">M-grid</a>. Finally, I  will give some examples of  grids whose main focus
is not on  high performance computing but rather  on facilitating data
access and collaboration between organizations.

  <b>The Speaker</b>
  <i>
   <a href="http://ajt.iki.fi/me/cv.html">Mr. Arto Teras</a>
   has a M.Sc.  degree in Computer  Science from <a href="http://www.hut.fi/">Helsinki University  of Technology</a>.
   He  got involved  with  grid computing  in summer of 2000  during his studies there.
   He  joined
   <a href="http://www.csc.fi/english">CSC, The Finnish IT Center for Science</a>
 as a  grid specialist in  October 2003. During
his three  years at  CSC. Mr.  Teras worked as  the coordinator  of the
<a href="https://extras.csc.fi/mgrid/">M-grid</a>,  a Finnish  national computing  grid consisting  of  ten Linux
clusters.  He also  participated in  the technical  teams  of Northern
European  <a href="http://www.nordugrid.org/">NorduGrid</a>  and EU-funded  <a href="https://www.deisa.org/">DEISA</a>  project,  which focuses  on
interconnecting  large  scale   supercomputers  located  at  different
centers in Europe. Currently Mr. Teras is taking some time off for his
favourite hobby, traveling.
