ABSTRACT

The present work describes an approach to simplying the development and deployment of applications for the Grid. Our approach aims at hiding accidental complexities (e.g., low-level Grid technologies) met when developing these kinds of applications. To realize this goal, the work focuses on the development of of end-user tools using concepts of domain engineering and domain-specific modeling which are modern software engineering methods for automating the development of software. The work is an attempt to contribute to the long term research goal of empowering users to create complex applications for the Grid without depending on the expertise of support teams or on hand-crafted solutions.

Key Words:

Grid Computing, End-user Tools, Software Engineering, Domain Engineering, Domain-Specific Modeling, Visual Authoring Tools, and Automatic Programming.
