This article's title appears to be a neologism which refers to the idea of doing computing rapidly or immediately, but it does not really describe what the "specialized infrastructure" for this would be. If this were rewritten to discuss a particular methodology of grid computing, I'm not sure it would pass WP:N. Also, there is a conflict of interest here, judging by the username of the creator.

Hi Alksub, what if the article included a discussion of how urgent computing is implemented in a various circumstances? For example, on a single machine (e.g. UNIX) a 'nice' value for a process may dictate the amount of CPU time the process is allocated. In cluster computing, queues and queue policies dictate the urgency for a job -- in other words the scheduler is responsible for implementing a notion of 'urgency'. We can also give a more detailed overview of how one might go about implementing urgent computing in the context of grid computing, and i think this section can be written to be more general and applicable to other types of distributed computing platforms other than just grid computing. Besides the SPRUCE system (with which I'm also associated with), there are other systems in development that we can describe. For example there are efforts at Virginia Tech and by government agencies to build such infrastructure. Bestchai (talk) 21:09, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Alksub, the article is not fully developed yet. I am new to wikipedia, and was planning on starting up a stub and expanding as and when I get time. While this can be considered neologism, the concept is gaining popularity in the research field - as demonstrated by the interest generated in some major conferences and workshops. I work on the SPRUCE project which is related to urgent computing. The idea behind creating this article was to give a famous platform for urgent computing, so interested users can find it easily. Just like there is a wiki article for Utility Computing which is kind of a commercial counterpart of this. Demonstrations of Urgent Computing have been covered in GridToday in end of 2006, severe weather modelers have used it real time during Spring 07 etc, so it is neither a very new concept nor obscure.
