    • Title: The Application Hosting Environment: Lightweight Middleware for Grid-Based Computational Science
    • Authors: P. V. Coveney, R. S. Saksena, S. J. Zasada, M. McKeown, S. Pickles
    • Abstract: Grid computing is distributed computing performed transparently across multiple administrative domains. Grid middleware, which is meant to enable access to grid resources, is currently widely seen as being too heavyweight and, in consequence, unwieldy for general scientific use. Its heavyweight nature, especially on the client-side, has severely restricted the uptake of grid technology by computational scientists. In this paper, we describe the Application Hosting Environment (AHE) which we have developed to address some of these problems.
