SCI/SGER: GRIM Core Framework Development

该建议调查，通过开发一个上层框架，一个高层次的用户环境访问网格服务的可行性，从而在一个通用的工具，用于管理整体结果。该系统被称为网格资源接口管理器（GRIM）。该工作的应用领域是在分布式仿真。一个初始的框架将被设计和原型化，并使用GUI链接到底层的预先存在的网格服务。这项工作将产生一个数据和配置的XML模式定义，一个在GRIM环境中实现数据转换的Java库，一个支持数据库查询的客户端，一个管理GUI，一个用于任务提交、监控、数据解析和报告的核心框架，以及一个数据存储抽象。

The proposal investigates, through development of an upper layer framework, the feasibility of a high-level user environment for accessing grid services resulting in a general tool for managing overall results. The system is called the Grid Resource Interface manager (GRIM). The work's application area is in distributed simulation. An initial framework will be designed and prototyped with a GUI linking to underlying pre-existing grid services. The work will produce an XML schema definition for data and configuration, a Java library enabling data conversion in a GRIM environment, a client enabling database queries, an admin GUI, a core framework for task submission, monitoring, data parsing, and reporting, and a data storage abstraction.
