Globus Toolkit User Perspectives Report Available

The report, Perspectives on Distributed Computing: Thirty People, Four User Types, and the Distributed Computing User Experience, is available for download. This report chronicles and anayzes the responses of thirty users to questions about using the Globus Toolkit - starting with summaries of results and conclusions but also including very detailed appendices and even transcripts of the interviews. Very interesting information for those involved in distributed computing:

Focus is HPC (high performance computing) but the toolkit comments are useful.
