Project Spitfire - Towards Grid Web Service Databases
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many Data Grid services maintain persistent metadata in remote relational databases. However, existing relational database systems are neither grid enabled nor web service enabled, adversely affecting cross-organizational interoperability and reuse. The European Data Grid’s Data Management Work Package addresses these issues with Spitfire. The Spitfire service gridenables a wide range of relational database systems by introducing a uniform service interface, data model, network protocol and security model. These are based on widely accepted standards and neutral with respect to programming language, platform and database product. In this paper we briefly describe the latest stable Spitfire release. We then discuss in detail work in progress towards a web service based architecture, its security model and client APIs, illustrated by practical examples.

Architectural Plan for Constructing Fault Tolerable Workflow Engines Based on Grid Service
In this paper the design and implementation of fault tolerable architecture for scientific workflow engines is presented. The engines are assumed to be implemented as composite web services. Current architectures for workflow engines do not make any considerations for substituting faulty web services with correct ones at run time. The difficulty is to rollback the execution state of the workflo...
متن کاملThe myGrid project: services, architecture and demonstrator
Grid is an e-Science research project developing open source high-level middleware to support in silico experiments in biology. In silico experiments use databases and computational analysis rather than laboratory investigations to test hypothesis. This paper provides an overview of services the Grid project is developing, and the architecture in which they fit. Registries provide information a...

متن کاملTowards the Semantic Grid: A State of the Art Survey of Semantic Web Services and their Applicability to Collaborative Design, Engineering, and Procurement
Today, organizations within the engineering and manufacturing domains place as much emphasis on the management and flow of knowledge through a value chain as they do commodities that are more tangible in nature. For example, parts suppliers in the Canadian automotive sector are often asked to collaborate with auto manufacturers in designing and engineering their product, instead of simply produ...
متن کاملSPITFIRE: Towards a Semantic Web of Things
The developed world is awash with sensors. However, they are typically locked into unimodal closed systems. To unleash their full potential, access to sensors should be opened such that their data and services can be integrated with data and services available in other information systems facilitating novel applications and services that are based on the state of the real world. We describe our...
