How do you expect the Globus Toolkit to be used?
The Globus Toolkit is intended to be used by Grid architects, system integrators, and Grid application developers to reduce the amount of work required to meet their goals and to ensure a basic level of interoperability between Grid systems and applications. It is not likely that most scientists or business people will be able to use the Globus Toolkit directly. Instead, application developers and system engineers will use the Globus Toolkit to construct Grids and Grid applications that scientists and business people can use. Many Grid applications and Grid application development environments have already been built using the Globus Toolkit. Some of these are intended to be reused, so it may not even be necessary for application developers to use the Toolkit directly. The Grid Software section of this website provides an inventory of software tools that have already proven their usefulness in Grid applications and systems. The Grid Solutions section provides details on how some scienc
