A Visual Programming Environment for Developing Complex Grid Applications

A condition to bring Grid computing to a mature phase is the availability of high-level support- ing tools and development environments that allows users and developers to effectively exploit Grid features in designing advanced applications. Here we presented VEGA, a high-level Visual Environment for Grid Application designed to support the design and execution of complex appli- cations upon Grid environments.
