ExcelGrid: A .NET Plug-In for Outsourcing Excel Spreadsheet Workload to Enterprise and Global Grids

This paper describes a method to grid-enable Microsoft Excel, to execute spreadsheet computations on enterprise and global grids. Grid systems harness geographically distributed computers, which can be used to perform computations in parallel in order to speed up execution.
