In this subprogramme we will build a Java-centric grid programming environment (called Ibis, which uses JavaGAT) for high-performance applications and a scheduling infrastructure for co-allocation (using e.g. KOALA) which are easy to use, highly portable ("run anywhere") and robust. Both will be used in real large-scale Grid environments. Such environments are heterogeneous, their resources have different performance (even over time) and failures (or withdrawal of resources) are more likely to occur than in (small-scale) multi-computers. Thus, building a programming environment and a co-allocating scheduler with the above properties for such highly dynamic environments is a challenging task.
