SimpleGrid
SimpleGrid is a software toolkit for building and teaching science and engineering gateways to cyberinfrastructure. SimpleGrid adopts the technologies used in GISolve middleware. The design of SimpleGrid takes a component-based approach so that individual modules can be reused and extended in building sophisticated science and engineering gateways. SimpleGrid provides both programming interfaces and automated scripting mechanisms to sandwich applications between Web and cyberinfrastructure resources and capabilities.
