Grid Computing: Experiment Management, Tool Integration, and Scientific Workflows (Lecture Notes in Computer Science / Programming and Software Engineering)

This monograph addresses four critical software development aspects for the engineering and execution of applications on parallel and Grid architectures.

A new directive-based language called ZEN is proposed for compact specification of wide value ranges of interest for arbitrary application parameters. The monograph contributes to various research areas related to integrated tool development for efficient engineering and high performance execution of scientific applications in Grid environments.
