Abstract :
The goal of the UNCW Grid project is to produce a user-friendly graphical environment for assembling and executing Grid applications. In this paper, we provide examples of the work done for this ongoing project. In particular we demonstrate a ¿drag-and-drop¿ approach to assembling complex Grid applications from individual Grid services. We also show how our graphical environment interacts with existing services to install and execute user applications on remote machines.
