• users to get proper access to the needed resources of the underlying
e-infrastructures and
• software developers to implement a first prototype multiplatform workflow
for the underlying use-cases facilitating interoperability among different workflow
systems and the user communities by exploiting user and resource ranking in terms
of QoS and QoU by incorporating the functionalities of GriF [134] and enabling the
ranking and selection of the computing resources to be used.

and the Registry servers) and one Java client (YP the Provider). The entry points to the computational
platforms are the User Interfaces which are able to capture, out of the data supplied by the monitoring
sensors of the DCI, the information relevant to properly manage the computational applications
of interest and articulate them in sequential, concurrent or alternative quality paths by adopting
a service-oriented architecture (SOA) and Web Services. This allows at the same time the guided
search of the compute resources on the DCI and the evaluation of the quality of the users (QoU). The
computational services provided, are analyzed and used to compose the submission, the monitoring,
and the results recollection of molecular science simulations.
