RESUMO
We review the work carried out within the eMinerals project to develop eScience solutions that facilitate a new generation of molecular-scale simulation work. Technological developments include integration of compute and data systems, developing of collaborative frameworks and new researcher-friendly tools for grid job submission, XML data representation, information delivery, metadata harvesting and metadata management. A number of diverse science applications will illustrate how these tools are being used for large parameter-sweep studies, an emerging type of study for which the integration of computing, data and collaboration is essential.

We describe RMCS as one of the first tools for grid computing that integrates data and metadata management into a single job submission system. The system is easy to use, with client tools that are easy to install. Although the RMCS system was developed as a prototype, it is now in production use and a number of scientific studies have been completed using it.
