Abstract
We propose a parallel and distributed component framework for building Grid applications, adapted to the hierarchical, highly distributed, highly heterogeneous nature of Grids. This framework is based on ProActive, a middleware (programming model and environment) for object oriented parallel, mobile, and distributed computing. We have extended ProActive by implementing a hierarchical and dynamic component model, named Fractal, so as to master the complexity of composition, deployment, re-usability, and efficiency of grid applications. This defines a concept of Grid components, that can be parallel, made of several activities, and distributed. These components communicate using typed one-to-one or collective invocations.
