摘要

e-Science promotes global research collaboration based on Grid, hence building a user infrastructure that can facilitate the use of physical Grids to improve the Grid usability and accessibility becomes critical. This paper proposes to use a user-centered design approach to build a user level infrastructure for running Grid-enabled simulations, and reviews associated technologies. In a case study, a user infrastructure formulated by encompassing the user-centered design approach for running quantum mechanical simulation of material properties in a Grid environment is discussed.
