We are researching and evaluating systems that can provide a bridge to non-dedicated resources for the grid. We focused on the Condor system because it is a technology that has been around for many years. Furthermore, computing elements (CE) that use the LCG or gLite middleware can be configured to interact with Condor pools and forward jobs to be executed. Our aim was to test the...

gCube reflects within its name a three-sided interpretation of the Grid vision of resource sharing: sharing of computational resources, sharing of structured data, and sharing of application services. As such, gCube embodies the defining characteristics of computational grids, data grids, and virtual data grids. Precisely, it builds on gLite middleware for managing distributed computations and...

The success of the GRID depends also on its flexibility in accommodating the computational resources available over the network. A big effort is underway to develop accepted GRID standards but in the meanwhile solutions have to be found to include into EGEE infrastructure resources based on platforms or operating systems which are not currently supported by gLite middle-ware. SPAGO concept has...

The API returns a list of service descriptors matching search criteria. A random choice can then be made from the URLs returned. Information about the individual services can be obtained from the descriptors if it is desired to rank the services returned or produce a web page of some subset of services. The search criteria are specified by means of three filters – service, VO and data. The...
