Popis: Scientists now have a greater desire to undertake work within global collaborations. This increases their dependence on distributed computation, storage and data resources. For this new paradigm of e-research to be easily adopted by the applied science community, it needs to be enabled by a new software infrastructure — Grid middleware. In this chapter, we describe ICENI, an integrated Grid middleware that explores the services and meta-data necessary to support e-research within a variety of application domains. We focus on the services that we feel are necessary to facilitate Grid use, ranging from running a simple self contained application through to building a simulation from scientific software components distributed across a Grid, selecting the optimal combination of services to enact the simulation and paying for them on demand.
