Abstract One of the biggest evolutions brought by Grid technology is “Grid Utility Computing”, which utilizes various kinds of IT resources and applications across multiple organizations and enterprises, and integrates them into a comprehensive and valuable service. Since 2004, we proposed and have been developing the GridASP framework which realizes grid-enabled Application Service Providers (...

A typical task of a grid level scheduling service is the orchestration and coordination of resources in the grid. Especially the co-allocation of resources makes high demands on this service. Co-allocation requires the grid level scheduler to coordinate resource management systems located in different domains. Provided that the site autonomy has to be respected negotiation is the only way to ac...

In this paper we describe the implementation of a service oriented environment that enables to couple a parallel application, which performs the 3D linear dynamic structural analysis of high-rise buildings, to a Grid Computing infrastructure. The Grid service, developed under Globus Toolkit 4, exposes the dynamic simulation as a service to the structural scientific community. It employs the GMa...

In previous work we have presented the ZENTURIO experiment management system for performance and parameter studies of parallel and distributed applications on cluster and Grid architectures. In this paper we describe experiences of an on-going work, targeting the implementation of ZENTURIO on top of the Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA). We analyse the opportunities offered by a Web servic...

The paper presents a hierarchical model for integrating structured HPC legacy software modules into a grid-adaptive scientific library service able to deliver quality computing-service on a performance contract basis. The service proactively administers both computing resources and configurable library software modules on behalf of client applications, and seamlessly supports their re-configura...

At present the grid workflow is a focus topic in the research on grid technologies, but few approaches are provided for designing and checking the grid services adaptation in a workflow, especially in a formal way. As a mobile process algebra, Pi-Calculus is suitable tool for modeling and analyzing distributed, concurrent and dynamic system, such as grid workflow. Addressing the protocol level ...

A Wireless Grid is an augmentation of a wired grid that facilitates the exchange of information and the interaction between heterogeneous wireless devices. While similar to the wired grid in terms of its distributed nature, the requirement for standards and protocols, and the need for adequate Quality of Service; a Wireless Grid has to deal with the added complexities of the limited power of th...

This paper describes an approach for Grid service component mining in object-oriented legacy systems, applying software clustering, architecture recovery, program slicing and wrapping techniques to decompose a legacy system, analyse the concerned components and integrate them into a Grid environment. The resulting components with core legacy code function in a Grid service framework.

One advantage of WSRF Web Service is to establish loosely connective system by itself. This kind of system is easier to be updated than strongly connective system, and its demand of the system is little in real implementation of Web Service. Loose connection is a favorite design pattern for a researcher in software design. GRB (Grid Resource Broker) system has to consider how the control flow f...

The convergence of Grid computing with Web service leads to the emergence of serviceoriented Grid. Despite the fact that more and more applications are being developed in the form of standard and custom Grid services, the development of Grid services and client applications lacks tooling support. We address this issue with an Eclipse-based environment for developing, using and managing Grid ser...
