gLite
gLite is a complete set of middleware components developed within the EGEE project. gLite has been initially developed to address the needs of two pilot applications in High-Energy Physics and in biomedical computing, but is now used by over 20 applications. It is a development from the LCG software primarily used to support computation required for the Large Hadron Collider project at CERN, but with dependent users in other domains. gLite is based on the pre-Web-Services Globus Toolkit 2.4 and many other technologies such as Condor, OpenSSL, MyProxy and SRM. Some of the Services are Web Services based. gLite is available in open source form from CERN.
Last version of gLite (v3.0) was released on May 2006.
