New Book about Scientific Collaboration on the Internet (Ian Foster Contributing)

Scientific Collaboration on the Internet

I'm looking forward to receiving my copy of Scientific Collaboration on the Internet. I have an article in it on lessons learned from the NEESgrid project (an earlier version is here, I think it's a good read, especially between the lines), but the other articles are probably far more interesting:
