The D0 experiment’s data and job management system software, SAM, is an operational prototype of many of the concepts being developed for Grid computing. We explain how the components of SAM map into the Data Grid architecture. We discuss the future use of Grid components to either replace existing components of SAM or to extend its functionality and utility; work being carried out as part of the Particle Physics Data Grid (PPDG) project. 1.
