Abstract. The Migrating Desktop is a ready to use GUI framework for making use of grid applications and putting into practice the "application on demand" concept. On-demand computing, contrary to the traditional approach of assigning resources to applications, refers to the concept of pooling system resources and dynamically allocating them to meet shifting demands. We introduce a ready-to-use framework for the integration of different computing systems into a comfortable working environment with support for "applications on demand". This work is done under the EU CrossGrid project IST-2001-32243.
In this article we aim to describe a project developing of the Migrating Desktop infrastructure for mobile users. This functionality refers to the work environment of the users who very often change their location. The user interface called the Migrating Desktop, or grid desktop, is a very useful environment that accomplishes an integrated set of services and real applications, which could be run on the grid. We introduce a framework for improving the grid application launching. The possibility of usage of interactive application in developed environment is presented.
