Standardization Processes of the UNICORE Grid System
نویسندگان
چکیده
The UNICORE Grid system has been developed since the late 1990s to support distributed computing applications and emerging Grid infrastructures. Over the years, UNICORE has evolved to a full-grown and well-tested Grid middleware system, which today is used in daily production at many supercomputing centers worldwide. Also, the UNICORE technology serves as a solid basis in many European and International research projects. In this paper, we present issues surrounding the integration of standards into the UNICORE Grid system. We summarize here the principal characteristics of the latest Web services-based Unicore/GS release, which provides significant enhancements in the areas of interoperability, standards compliance and functionality.

Interoperability Between UNICORE and ITBL
The interoperability among different science grid systems is indispensable to worldwide use of a large-scale experimental facility as well as a large-scale supercomputer. One of the simplest ways to achieve the interoperability is to convert message among different science grid systems without modifying themselves. Under such consideration, the interoperability between UNICORE and ITBL (IT-Base...
متن کاملProduction-Quality Grid Environments with UNICORE
The UNICORE Grid technology provides a seamless, secure, and intuitive access to distributed Grid resources. Since its initial funding in two German-funded research projects, UNICORE evolved to a full-grown and well-tested Grid middleware system. Today it is used in daily production at many supercomputing centers. In this paper we present an overview on the UNICORE production environments at th...
متن کاملESGIA: Extensible service based grid information aggregator
Interoperable Grid monitoring has been a hot topic since many years (Wolski et al 1999, Michael and Philip 2002). Standardization efforts have been made by the Open Grid Forum with respect to monitoring architecture (Zanikolas et al 2005) and data schema. Grid middleware efforts towards interoperability include GRIP, which resulted in an interoperability layer between UNICORE and GT2, OSG, LCG ...
متن کاملUnicore - From project results to production grids
The UNICORE Grid-technology provides a seamless, secure and intuitive access to distributed Grid resources. In this paper we present the recent evolution from project results to production Grids. At the beginning UNICORE was developed as a prototype software in two projects funded by the German research ministry (BMBF). Over the following years, in various European-funded projects, UNICORE evol...
متن کاملInteroperability of the BIS - Grid Workflow Engine with Globus Toolkit 4
In the D-Grid project BIS-Grid we developed the BIS-Grid Workflow Engine in order to utilize a common WS-BPEL workflow engine for scientific workflow execution in WSRF-based Grid infrastructures. The BIS-Grid Workflow Engine itself is built on the Grid middleware UNICORE 6 to benefit from its security mechanisms and to automatically gain interoperability with UNICORE 6-based Grid infrastructure...
