Abstract
Most current Grid monitoring systems provide a visual user interface. With recent advances in multimedia capabilities in user terminals, there is a strong trend towards interactive, multi-modal and multi-platform visualization. In this paper we describe a multi-platform visualization architecture and a Web based service built upon it, which provides a view of the monitored Grid hierarchy, and the values of selected monitoring parameters for different Grid sites. We demonstrate the application on four platforms: a desktop Personal Computer (PC), a handheld PC, a Java-enabled new-generation mobile phone, and a Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) enabled mobile phone.
