Abstract

We discuss here the possibility of utilizing the innovative features of GriF (a Grid Framework allowing the guided management, monitoring and results recollection of computational simulations under the form of advanced Grid Services) to the end of empowering the Chemistry, Molecular and Materials Sciences and Technologies communities with a set of quality evaluation functions. For this purpose, the enhanced options offered by GriF in terms of Quality Evaluation have been tested on the trial Virtual Research Environment of the COMPCHEM Virtual Organization for ranking resources, users and services. The results obtained are analysed with the purpose of addressing the Sustainability problems of Virtual Research Communities.
