GRIDtoday has announced the winners of GRIDtoday's inaugural Readers' and Editors' Choice Awards at The IDG GridWorld conference (http://www.gridworld.com/live/42/) in Washington, DC.
The GRIDtoday Readers' and Editors' Choice Awards are determined through a survey of thousands of GRIDtoday readers, and will be a permanent annual feature of the publication.
GRIDtoday has designated two categories of awards: (1) Readers' Choice, where winners have been determined by a random poll of GRIDtoday readers, and (2) Editors' Choice, where winners have been determined by votes of an advisory group of recognized luminaries, contributors and editors influential in Grid and Service-Oriented IT.
Grid is being used in fields such as academic research, automotive and aerospace, bio-IT, humanities research, security and defense, financial services, government, manufacturing, oil & gas, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications and others.
"We are very excited about this opportunity to articulate the views and opinions of our readers to recognize the accomplishments that are being made in advancing the development and adoption of Grid, Service-Oriented IT and virtualization," said Tom Tabor, publisher of GRIDtoday. "These industry recognition awards send a strong message to the recipients that the many global contributors working in or watching this important computing segment recognize their work, and consider their efforts meritorious. Our congratulations go out to all the winners."
