TY - GEN A1 - Reinefeld, Alexander A1 - Stüben, Hinnerk A1 - Schintke, Florian A1 - Din, George T1 - GuiGen: A Toolset for Creating Customized Interfaces for Grid User Communities N2 - \textsf{\itshape{GuiGen}} is a comprehensive set of tools for creating customized graphical user interfaces (GUIs). It draws from the concept of computing portals, which are here seen as interfaces to application-specific computing services for user communities. While \textsf{\itshape{GuiGen}} was originally designed for the use in computational grids, it can be used in client/server environments as well. Compared to other GUI generators, \textsf{\itshape{GuiGen}} is more versatile and more portable. It can be employed in many different application domains and on different target platforms. With \textsf{\itshape{GuiGen}}, application experts (rather than computer scientists) are able to create their own individually tailored GUIs.

This poses several difficulties to the resource management system, which must be able to reserve computing resources for exclusive use and also to determine an optimal process mapping for a given system topology. On the basis of our CCS software, we describe the anatomy of a modern resource management system. Like Codine, Condor, and LSF, CCS provides mechanisms for the user-friendly system access and management of clusters. But unlike them, CCS is targeted at the effective support of space-sharing parallel and even metacomputers. Among other features, CCS provides a versatile resource description facility, topology-based process mapping, pluggable schedulers, and hooks to metacomputer management.
