Enabling Applications on the Grid - A GridLab Overview

Overview Grid technology is widely emerging. Still, there is an eminent shortage of real Grid users, due to the absence of two important catalysts: first, a widely accepted vision on how applications can substantially benefit from Grids, and second a toolkit of higher-level Grid services, tailored to application needs. This paper presents an overview of GridLab, a large-scale, EU-funded Grid project spanning over a dozen groups in Europe and the US.
