The Globus project is a multi-institutional research e#ort that seeks to enable the construction of computational grids providing pervasive, dependable, and consistent access to high-performance computational resources, despite geographical distribution of both resources and users. Computational

The World Wide Web is revolutionizing the way that researchers access scientific information. Articles are increasingly being made available on the homepages of authors or institutions, at journal Web sites, or in online archives. However, scientific information on the Web is largely disorganized

in depth from the time of their speculative prediction by Swift in 1726 and their discovery by Hall in 1877 up until the latest observations during the 1967 opposition. A reasonable explanation for Swift's pre-diction is set forth. The proposal by Sharpless in 1945 that suggested a secular acceleration in the longitude of Phobos stirred considerable contro-versy over its possible causes. All proposed causes are investigated here and all but tidal effects are discounted. Wilkins has recently analyzed the available data by computer with the object of arriving at improved orbital elements. He discovered no support for a secular acceleration in longitude. Unsuccessful attempts by the author to observe the satellites photographically during the 1967 opposition are described with particular attention given to the peculiar problems of photographing faint sources in close proximity to very bright ones.-THE SATELLITES OF MARS
