Abstract
Since 1984, the Condor project has helped ordinary users to do extraordinary computing. Today, the project continues to explore the social and technical problems of cooperative computing on scales ranging from the desktop to the world-wide computational grid. In this chapter, we provide the history and philosophy of the Condor project and describe how it has interacted with other projects and evolved along with the field of distributed computing. We outline the core components of the Condor system and describe how the technology of computing must reflect the sociology of communities. Throughout, we reflect on the lessons of experience and chart the course travelled by research ideas as they grow into production systems.
