Abstract

This paper describes the implementation and sample use of a grid service used for general grid job submission required to simplify end-user grid interaction. The user can rely on standard interface and can thus develop necessary clients that would exploit power of the grid without worrying about internal workings and details of the grid. We show a sample client and also give examples of higher level services which can use jobSubmit grid service as a low level tool and extended it to provide a more abstract end-user grid experience, thus attracting more non-expert users to the grid.
