title: Integrating computing, data and collaboration grids: the RMCS tool.
abstract: We describe RMCS as one of the first tools for grid computing that integrates data and metadata management into a single job submission system. The system is easy to use, with client tools that are easy to install. Although the RMCS system was developed as a prototype, it is now in production use and a number of scientific studies have been completed using it.
