RENKEI is a new project designed for a software environment where researchers can create and operate research community easily. They can develop and run sharing application programs on distributed various grid resources without knowing the details of any particular underlying grid middleware.

AHS(Application Hosting System) provides a software environment for developing and deploying scientific applications on grid resources and on laboratory resources. Application developers use the AHS to register and deploy applications and to share them within research community members.
WFT(WorkFlow Tool) provides end users with a single seamless interface to manipulate workflow jobs. They use the WFT to discover appropriate resources, to specify workflow jobs consisting of applications deployed by using the AHS on various grid resources, to launch jobs , to monitor running jobs, to terminate jobs and to retrieve files to client machine.
Interoperable function will provide mutual job submission and information exchange among multiple production grids using OGF standards (e.g. BES, GLUE2）. Users on RENKEI and interoperable other grids may launch jobs on resources on the both grids seamlessly from their familiar client tools.
