*“Cyberinfrastructure with EGG”*

In examining some of the limitations of contemporary grid computing,
we have come upon a surprising combination of ideas related to environment
computing and economic mechanism design. These lead to a simplification
of the overall problem, resulting in systems, which are substantially more
flexible, responsive and comprehensible than contemporary grids. The EGG
project is a collaboration between physicists and computer scientists to 
take
these ideas further and to produce a production quality core system suitable
both for long-term development and for short-term practical use. We give
the motivation and central concepts of EGG, describe the resulting
overall distributed computing landscape and show the core system in action.
