《網格計算雜志》探討了一種新興的技術，這種技術能夠在分布式、松散協調的組（有時稱為“虛擬組織”）內解決大規模的資源共享問題。覆蓋范圍包括協議、安全性、擴展等等。盡管這項技術在各類應用中的優勢已經得到了承認，但需要在各種學科中進行研究，以擴大現有知識體系的適用性和范圍。該期刊滿足了需求，涵蓋了協議、中間件和服務、安全性、發現、共享、擴展等主題。討論擴展到協作工作、信息共享和問題解決的先進技術。

The Journal of Grid Computing explores an emerging technology that enables large-scale resource sharing problem solving within distributed, loosely coordinated groups sometimes termed "virtual organizations". Coverage includes protocols, security, scaling and more.Although the advantages of this technology for classes of applications have been acknowledged, research in a variety of disciplines is needed to broaden the applicability and scope of the current body of knowledge. This journal fills the need, covering such topics as protocols, middleware, and services, security, discovery, sharing, scaling, and more.Discussion extends to advanced technologies for collaborative work, information sharing and problem solving.
