The UNCW Grid Computing Project is a two-year collaborative project among a multi-discipline, multi-investigator core research team at UNCW and several discipline-focused researchers at partner institutions: NCSU, WCU, NCCU, ECU, and CFCC*. The research areas and institutional interests of this project are:

• Advanced Grid Software Development (UNCW)
• Computational Chemistry (UNCW and ECU)
• Bioinformatics (UNCW, NCSU, and NCCU)
• Combinatorics (UNCW)
• Business Computing (UNCW and NCCU)
• Education and Training (UNCW, WCU, CFCC)

This project proposes to develop a Grid interface that is easy-to-use and will be accessible to a wide-range of applications and users. We have developed an innovative graphical user interface, called GridNexus, for creating scripts in our new language, called JXPL, designed for web-based services. With these tools, we demonstrate the functionality of grid services.
