     214== Interfacing BOINC to Grid and Cloud systems ==
     215
     216At a high level, BOINC can be seen as a way to create and access pools of computing nodes
     217(albeit untrusted, sporadically available, etc.).
     218Research the issues in interfacing these resource pools to existing
     219Grid- and Cloud-based systems for distributed computing.
