Abstract-We present the ASKALON environment whose goal is to simplify the development and execution of workflow applications on the Grid. ASKALON is centered around a set of high-level services for transparent and effective Grid access, including a Scheduler for optimized mapping of workflows onto the Grid, an Enactment Engine for reliable application execution, a Resource Manager covering both computers and application components, and a Performance Prediction service based on training phase and statistical methods. A sophisticated XMLbased programming interface that shields the user from the Grid middleware details allows the high-level composition of workflow applications. ASKALON is used to develop and port scientific applications as workflows in the Austrian Grid project. We present experimental results using two real-world scientific applications to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.

“…The workflow paradigm on grids is well adapted for representing such applications and the development of several workflow engines [3,27,33,35] illustrate significant and growing interest in workflows within the grid community. The success of this paradigm in complex scientific applications can be explained by the ability to describe such applications in high levels of abstraction and in a way that makes it easy to understand, change, and execute them.…”

Among existing grid middleware approaches, one simple, powerful, and flexible approach consists of using servers available in different administrative domains through the classic client-server or Remote Procedure Call (RPC) paradigm. Network Enabled Servers (NES) implement this model also called GridRPC. Clients submit computation requests to a scheduler whose goal is to find a server available on the grid. The aim of this paper is to give an overview of an NES middleware developed in the GRAAL team called DIET and to describe recent developments. DIET (Distributed Interactive Engineering Toolbox) is a hierarchical set of components used for the development of applications based on computational servers on the grid.Keywords: Grid Computing, Network Enabled Servers, Client-Server Computing. RésuméParmi les intergiciels de grilles existants, une approche simple, flexible et performante consiste a utiliser des serveurs disponibles dans des domaines administratifs différentsà travers le paradigme classique de l'appel de procédureà distance (RPC). Les environnements de ce type, connus sous le terme de Network Enabled Servers, implémentent ce modèle appelé GridRPC. Des clients soumettent des requêtes de calculà un ordonnanceur dont le but consisteà trouver un serveur disponible sur la grille. Le but de cet article est de donner un tour d'horizon d'un intergiciel développé dans le projet GRAAL appelé DIET 1 . DIET (Distributed Interactive Engineering Toolbox) est un ensemble hiérarchique de composants utilisés pour le développement d'applications basées sur des serveurs de calcul sur la grille.

“…[6]). Within a Grid computing setting, workflow systems are typically used as a means for describing the steps required for submitting and executing jobs to high performance computing resources, typically deployed within a single administrative domain, [7,8]. In this paper we focus on the use of workflow technology for coordinating remote Grid Services across organizational boundaries.…”
