Grid computing is the next generation of distributed and cluster computing technologies. This mere scientific field has been transferred to a vital basis of the scientific revolutions in all science, engineering and commerce fields. Grid infrastructures provide the ability to share, select and aggregate distributed resources as computers, storage systems or other devices in an integrated way. This has come true via implementing various middleware technologies for grid. From the important implemented grid middlewares can mention Globus ( http://www.globus.org ), Condor and Gridbus (http://www.gridbus.org). In 2006 after primary studies, I started the development of the so-called DotGrid Grid Computing platform on top of the Microsoft .NET and Mono.NET runtimes. My main idea was the creation of an unified framework that grid community developers can consume the least time to create, deploy and run their grid applications in an integrated way in all common operating systems including the mostly used Windows-class, Linux-class and Solaris-class operating systems. The period of DotGrid's implementation was nearly one year. As you know a grid infrastructure similar to Globus must provide some required grid services and APIs to properly run grid applications in that way which the grid had been defined by the Globus members in the past years. A grid software platform must provide computational grid, data grid and security features inherited from the inherent nature of dynamic and virtual organizational of grid environments. In my developed software, .i.e. the DotGrid Platform, DotDFS provides the data grid capabilities; DotGrid DotThreading employs the overall threading concepts in traditional operating systems to fast develop grid applications for developers familiar to these commonly used and programmed procedures; and unified DotGrid DotSec security infrastructure which provides the security features in all DotGrid runtimes and services. All newly defined and implemented services in DotGrid platform accommodate an extensive collection of server or client APIs to costumed program grid applications. In the following references you can find more information related to my current developed DotGrid platform. In the next posts, I try to open and more describe DotGrid conveniently.

Texts of these published papers will be placed in this blog comming soon.

Sometimes, somethings may be interesting for re-quoting.
My mother language isn't English, therefore I thought it may be attractive to re-quote the Love concept from first language to the secondary. Love in religions is possessed high importance. Love concepts can be categorized in three ways. One the earthy love, the desire and the last the ethereal love. The attraction to moral something for all peoples in all religions are common. The main purpose here is the gravitation toward the creator of our world meaning God. The first case was earthy love that many experience it in their life period. This kind of love relates to a mutual feeling between two persons in opposite genders. This case can help us to well-develop our life period with the superior aims. The second kind of love is desire, an internal abject sense joint between animals and human beings. In different opinions, many believe peoples who use desire to arrive to superior objectives can more enjoy life. Personally to my idea, the best procedure is this which we must employ the earthy love and desire to access another, God.

These days I'm hardly studying the required examining lessons for this year acceptance exams in one of the electrical engineering courses at the Master level (so-called graduate studies here). The examination's time is the next February, in 2008 year. While studying my lessons for this exam, my projects are still being run and developed but with the least working time due to these studies. After the exam, many projects and plans will be followed in both working and academical areas. My interests are mainly included in Grid computing technologies. I plan to continue my scientific studies related to my developed grid-middlaware-platform mentioned in my published papers as DotGrid platform. Thus, I evaluate a very extensive activities after this timing period.

This site is my English home page. I will gradually try to place some of my ideas and professional works here.
