RESUMO

Grid computing is already a reality both in academic and business world. Its use has become popular mainly because of the projects in this area and the advertising of products and software that offer this idea. Nevertheless, environments for development of object-oriented applications in Java for grid infrastructure are still scarce. Some initiatives offer libraries for this development. Others use different paradigms such as the message-passing for development of applications. Moreover, the infrastructure of grid, formed by different administrative domain with different security policies, prevents the execution of applications at various levels in the grid. These levels, formed by computers and clusters of computers with execution nodes, have private addresses, make impossible the transparent communication of the applications allocated in each of these computers at different levels in different domains. Focused on these problems, this thesis presents an environment for distributed and parallel object-oriented programming in Java, called J4GE. In this environment, the object-oriented model is the basis for the distribution of classes, methods and attributes in an existing application. Moreover, the environment offers transparency in objects access around the grid through a Message Service, regardless the level where is the resource, or the computer, or the execution node. This transparency also allows the programmer to use the Java platform without knowing or learning new libraries or paradigms, reducing the effort in developing applications for grid. The resources of the Java platform and the environment J4GE together can create distributed objects with parallel and concurrent behavior, bringing greater efficiency to the application.
