Abstract

Making grid technology available to a wider community requires moving away from the complex command line tools commonly in use today towards a more transparent and user-friendly interface. We seek to address this challenge by presenting the notion of a Grid Enabled Desktop Environment (GRENADE), seamlessly extending the familiar desktop user-interface paradigm to interactions with grid resources. This paper describes our initial implementation.
