Conventional visualization tools need adaptation to GRID:Conventional visualization tools need adaptation to GRID: Remote visualization within GRID (data on SE, WN) Most of the existing solutions are strongly dependent on:

– Middleware (like GLOBUS)– Specific needs and environment (pilot application and employed

hardware)

Delivered tools will provide:Delivered tools will provide: Basic visualization functionality for all BalticGrid users, Advanced features and performance

for pilot applications (some universality will be sacrificed).

Current pilot application areas:Current pilot application areas: Engineering applications (CFD), Material sciences (particle systems).
