HI Olivier,
You might be interested to look at the TIGRE project server and user
client stacks. These are freely available and do not require you to
join a certain grid project to use. You can run your own grid
project out of them.
They are based on a subset of the VDT (Virtual Data Toolkit developed
first by Grid3 and now used in full form by Open Science Grid and by
LCG). The TIGRE project was specifically to build a small,
lightweight, easy to use web-services-enabled grid stack out of
minimal elements.
You can find a server stack installation 1-page tutorial along with
download and setup instructions at
http://tigreportal.hipcat.net/gridsphere/gridsphere?cid=serverstack
The user client matching 1-page instructions and stack are available at
http://tigreportal.hipcat.net/gridsphere/gridsphere?cid=clientstack
(We are also investigating the use of GRMS separately as a project-
wide scheduler and to use its simple pure-java user client for job
submissions, as I told you off the list. In addition, we continue to
look at Gridway.)
The project is open for all to use. You do not have to join TIGRE to
download and use the project stack for your purposes. At least one
other major regional grid has made a version of the TIGRE stack with
our assistance for their purposes -- it's simple, and all you have to
do is to prepare your small ascii pacman file with the components
customized to meet your needs. Please feel free to communicate with
us by e-mail or to open a consulting ticket on our ticketing system
for more information.
To see the scale of resources we have deployed using this simple
stack, see the URL

Best wishes,
Alan
