layer above a grid that enables end users to make use of the Grid
services in order to build and run distributed component-based
applications.
- Grid
- A grid is a software framework providing layers

- Implementation of HPC++ that gives the
end-user more direct control over the communication mechanisms.
- CCAT
- Common Component Architecture Toolkit.
- LDAP
- ???
- Legion
- Distributed Programming model provides an
architecture and language.
