Abstract
In this paper, we present a Grid Application Development toolkit called GAD Kit. It simplifies the “gridifying” process by providing mechanisms to enable existing applications as Grid services and their consumptions. These include features for automatic wrapping of applications as Grid services, service deployment and discovery, metascheduling and seamless access to Grid resources. To facilitate access to Grid resources, GAD Kit was developed based on the standard GridRPC API. Finally, we present the use of GAD Kit for “gridifying” a realistic aerodynamic design application.
