The UNICORE Grid technology provides a seamless, secure, and
intuitive access to distributed Grid resources. UNICORE is a
full-grown and well-tested Grid middleware system, which today is
used in daily production worldwide. Beyond this production usage,
the UNICORE technology serves as a solid basis in many European and
International projects. In order to foster these ongoing
developments, UNICORE is available as open source under BSD licence
