In the atomic field, by integrating various simulation codes which were installed on distributed computers, large-scale and detailed simulations which aim explication of complicated phenomena. However integration of each simulation codes and cooperative operation of the integrated codes make heavy burden for researchers. We have developed the Simple Orchestration Application Framework (SOAF) to cooperatively control simulation codes on remote computers from a client PC. SOAF enables researchers to cooperatively execute various codes on grid infrastructure by only describing a configuration file including the information of execution codes and file flows among them. SOAF does not need substantial modification of the simulation codes. By using SOAF, we successfully execute four plasma simulation codes included in the "Burning Plasma Integrated Code" according to the scenario described in the configuration file.
