Several works on grid computing have been proposed during the last few years. However, most of them including available software, can not deal properly with some issues related to abstraction and friendliness of grid. A much wider variety of applications and large community of users can get benefit once grid computing technologies become easier to use and more sophisticated. This work concentrates on presenting 'Users-Grid' (pro-middleware), which sits between the grid middleware and user applications. It introduces a high-level abstraction layer and hides the intricacies of the grid middleware. It attempts to make the grid-related aspects transparent to the end users. Its main features are automatic DAG inference and seamless job submission. It facilitates end-users to directly run their applications on grid by themselves without depending on the expertise of support teams.
