Among existing grid middleware approaches, one simple, powerful, and flexibleapproach consists of using servers available in different administrative domainsthrough the classic client-server or Remote Procedure Call (RPC) paradigm.Network Enabled Servers (NES) implement this model also called GridRPC.Clients submit computation requests to a scheduler whose goal is to find aserver available on the grid. The aim of this paper is to give an overview of anNES middleware developed in the GRAAL team called DIET and to describerecent developments. DIET (Distributed Interactive Engineering Toolbox) is ahierarchical set of components used for the development of applications basedon computational servers on the grid.Parmi les intergiciels de grilles ...
