Summary The goal of the N*Grid project is to build a national Grid infra as

a high performance research cyber infra.

The N*Grid project is to enhance research productivity in the fields of science and technology.

The future direction of N*Grid project will be emphasized on the activation of Grid technology research

- by participating in GGF WG/RGs for the international Grid technology standardization, - by implementing international standard Grid testbeds, and - by developing of Grid Middleware and applications.

Thank you for your kind attention.
