Your assessment is correct. GRAM provides more the plumbing. There are some
clients out there that provide this type of additional automated functionality
on top of GRAM. Or, you need to write a client to take advantage of it.
Here are a list of some GRAM clients for you to look at:
Condor-G -> http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/condorg/
Swift -> http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/swift/index.php
GridWay -> www.gridway.org
Nimrod-G -> http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~davida/nimrod/nimrodg.htm
CoG kit clients -> http://wiki.cogkit.org/wiki/Java_CoG_Kit,
