Thanks again for these answers!

"why do not you setup a Web Service front-end to Condor
and SGE and then submit/control jobs to different clusters using java/C 
client or portal? "

If possible, I don't want to develop some code if a solution already 
exists for my problem.
The main reason is that I haven't experience in web service development  
and so  it'll
take me a lot of time to write/debug this code ..
But, indeed, it's a very good idea!

"Take a look in http://www.gridway.org/. It works with globus, but try
to find out if you can make it work just with the schedulers."

I think GridWay is the solution at my problem. I'll do some tests this week!
