In this paper we propose a middleware infrastructure adapted for supporting scientific visualization applications over a Grid environment. We instantiate a middleware system from CoDIMS, which is an environment for the generation of configurable data integration middleware systems. CoDIMS adaptive architecture is based on the integration of special components managed by a control module that executes users workflows. We exemplify our proposal with a middleware system generated for computing particles' trajectories within the constraints imposed by a Grid environment. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
