Call for submissions. Since the beginning of the new millennium, a world-wide effort has been underway to develop and deploy a new generation of advanced infrastructure which, it is argued, is essential to enable new advances in scientific research. This infrastructure, known as 'the Grid' or increasingly commonly as 'e-Infrastructure' (cyberinfrastructure in the US), comprises networked, interoperable, scalable computational tools and services that make it possible to locate, access, share, aggregate and manipulate digitised data seamlessly on a hitherto unrealisable scale.
