ABSTRACT
The UK National Grid Service (NGS) [1] currently provides researchers within the UK and their collaborators with access to a wide range of computing and infrastructure resources using grid technologies that have been developing in the UK since 2001. The NGS is not the only grid activity within the UK and has developed alongside other activities such as GridPP, EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-SciencE), and other institutionalbased activities such as campus grids. Working toward the future, the NGS is aiming to increase the collaboration with such existing activities and also look toward a sustainable future, in line with other activities such as the planned European Grid Initiative (EGI).
