This is the Daresbury Laboratory Web Server for the STFC e-Science Centre's Grid Technology Group and grids.ac.uk. You can find out about the projects we work on and the software we develop. Members of the Group can edit and update these pages.

e-Science Software Catalogue

Over the past 6 years software has been developed as funded by a variety of sources. Some of the projects in which this software has been developed are listed below. The outcome of this work is a set of software and code modules which will inter-operate and in many cases share a common architecture. We expect this software to be of benefit to users and developers in the future and therefore provide an on-line catalogue of information.
