Abstract
The role of grid computing as a tool for computational science which has evolved over the past years leads to additional requirements for grid middleware. One of these requirements is visualization support which is provided by the Grid Visualization Kernel (GVK). To enable proper usage of grid resources for visualization purposes sophisticated scheduling and resource brokering mechanisms are required. These mechanisms enable the automatic construction of a visualization pipeline taking into account the requirements specified by the user as well as resource availability.
The Grid Visualization Kernel (GVK) is partially supported by the Crossgrid Project of the European Commission under contract number IST-2001-32243.
