The use of computational grids, which allow sharing distributed re- sources to achieve high processing power, has been spreading and acquiring importance lately (mostly in business environments). When the grid is em- ployed in an inter-institutional, decentralized manner, it becomes necessary to characterize and account the use of the infrastructure to identify the most used resources, the number of services executed, who contributes with more re- sources, and so on. The management tools available are limited to monitor the status of environment resources, such as CPU load and memory usage, neglect- ing statistical and historical data about the execution of applications on the grid. To bridge this gap, the paper presents MUAT (MyGrid/OurGrid Usage Ac- counting Tool), an environment that aims to evaluate the use of computational grids infrastructures based on MyGrid/OurGrid solutions.
