The report contains information about the problems of interoperability and interoperation of grid-infrastructures, that use different middlewares, and about different approaches to overcome these problems. Both developed and developing (for example, unified grid interoperability standards) approaches are considered. The world’s experience in this area is evaluated, the most notable projects are considered, the architecture and pecularities of grid and other software used in these projects are presented. The information about universal software, providing grid-interoperability (portals, resource brokers, meta-schedulers), their architecture, pecularities, ways to use is provided. Some material is dedicated to NAS of Ukraine’s work and research in solving the problems of interoperability and interoperation of grid-infrastructures, including the information about using third-party software, as well as developing new software for this purpose.
