The design of space stations like the recently launched ISS is a highly complex and interdisciplinary task. This book describes component technologies, system integration, and the potential usage of space stations in general and of the ISS in particular. It so adresses students and engineers in space technology. Ernst Messerschmid holds the chair of space systems at the University of Stuttgart and was one of the first German astronauts.

Unter "Grid Computing" versteht man die gleichzeitige Nutzung vieler Computer in einem Netzwerk für die Lösung eines einzelnen Problems. Grundsätzliche Aspekte und anwendungsbezogene Details zu diesem Gebiet finden Sie in diesem Band. - Grid Computing ist ein viel versprechender Trend, denn man kann damit (1) vorhandene Computer-Ressourcen kosteneffizient nutzen, (2) Probleme lösen, für die enorme Rechenleistungen erforderlich sind, und (3) Synergieeffekte erzielen, auch im globalen Maßstab - Ansatz ist in Forschung und Industrie (IBM, Sun, HP und andere) zunehmend populär (aktuelles Beispiel: Genomforschung) - Buch deckt Motivationen zur Einführung von Grids ebenso ab wie technologische Grundlagen und ausgewählte Beispiele für moderne Anwendungen

Discussions and presentations addressed three aspects of cell research in space: the suitability of the cell as a subject in microgravity experiments, the requirements for generic flight hardware to support cell research, and the potential for collaboration between academia, industry, and government to develop these studies in space. Synopses are given for the presentations and follow-on discussions at the conference and papers are presented from which the presentations were based. An Executive Summary outlines the recommendations and conclusions generated at the conference.
