The UNICORE Grid infrastructure

UNICORE (Uniform Interface to Computer Resources) is a software infrastructure supporting seamless and secure access to distributed resources. UNICORE allows uniform access to different hardware and software platforms as well as different organizational environments. Based on the abstract job model it offers services for security, translation of abstract jobs into real batch jobs for different target systems, and a public key infrastructure. This paper describes the UNICORE architecture and the services provided.
