Since the late 1990s, we have witnessed an extraordinary development of Grid technologies. Nowadays, different Grids are being deployed within the context of a growing number of national and transnational research projects. However, the coexistence of those different infrastructures involves two challenging issues, namely: (i) simultaneous and coordinated use of resources from different Grids, from the end user perspective; and (ii) the simultaneous contribution of resources to different Grids, from the resource owner perspective. In this paper, we demonstrate that a decentralized and ''end-to-end'' scheduling and execution system can efficiently interoperate different Grids. In particular, we evaluate the coordinated use of the EGEE and IRISGrid testbeds in the execution of a Bioinformatics application. Results show the feasibility of building loosely coupled computational Grid environments only based on Globus services, while obtaining non-trivial levels of quality of service, in terms of performance and reliability. Such approach allows a straightforward resource sharing since the resources are accessed by using de facto standard protocols and interfaces.
