Grid computing systems utilize the heterogeneous networked resources (computation, information, database, storage, bandwidth, etc.) through the Internet. The systems can operate in predefined and organized ways or form the collected resource systems through self-organizing and decentralized ways. Even with the various types of abundant resources in the Internet, the resources that can be organized and operated in the presence of multiple resource owners with the uncertainty of resource availability and quality are scarce.

Therefore, managing and operating such scarce resources in the Grid systems would bring the need of the economy which will value the need and availability of various types of resources. The creation of stable and scalable economy will support the successful deployment and operation of Global Grid systems in the Internet. This Second International Workshop on Grid Economics and Business Models invites the researchers and practitioners from multiple disciplines to discuss the economy of these systems in concern focusing on the operational and deployment issues of Grid Economy.
