Computing Resource Execution and Management (CREAM) is a simple and lightweight system designed for efficiently manage a Computing Element (CE) in a Grid environment. It provides a well defined set of job management functionalities exposed as WebService interfaces which, together with the adoption of the open standards, guarantee a high degree of interoperability. Moreover its architecture has been designed to make CREAM a robust, scalable and fault tolerant Grid service for serving the requests coming from either a single users or a high level Grid Services. CREAM is part of the gLite middleware distribution and it is currently deployed in several production Grids at a national, European and international level.
