Abstract
GRIA was the first middleware designed for commercial provision of Grid services and is the core technology used in some of the most successful experiments in the EU IST BEinGRID project. In BEinGRID, GRIA was deployed in the advanced manufacturing, finance, logistics and tourism sectors, integrating with a wide variety of software and platforms. GRIA solved the general problems of dynamic relationship management, computational outsourcing and remote database access using secure and managed services coupled with service level agreements and flexible client and service toolkits. This presentation will discuss the ways in which GRIA was used and highlight the key features relevant to business today.
