(my)Grid supports in silico experiments in the life sciences, enabling the design and enactment of workflows as well as providing components to assist service discovery, data and metadata management. The (my)Grid ontology is one component in a larger semantic discovery framework for the identification of the highly distributed and heterogeneous bioinformatics services in the public domain. From...

This paper highlights the expansion of grid computing system with mobile environments where mobile nodes successfully imbibe into the grid either as service recipients or as more valuable service provider. The integration of grid computing and mobile devices generates lots of challenges in front of the user of grid with mobile devices. Due to mobile nature of wireless devices and limitations of...

EGSO is part of the Virtual Solar Observatory. It provides a Grid for integrated access to distributed and heterogeneous solar data archives. Here we describe the motivation and approach we have chosen to implement the Grid access as a stateful web service. Using this kind of service allows us to consider the search and retrieval of data as an interaction between the client and the Grid. This w...

Indicators of Quality of Service (QoS) of Fault Isolation and System Restoration (FISR) service, delivered by SCADA system are computed, discussed and correlated to quality indicators of power supplied to customers. In delivering FISR service, SCADA system, Telco network and Power grid act as a whole heterogeneous network. While SCADA system and Telco network can be well represented by means of...

Quality of Service delivered to Grids by packet-switched networks, is one of the most important factors affecting performance and efficiency of both Grid applications and middleware. The use Virtual Private Network services can improve the overall performance of Grids in many respects. In this paper, we show how the security, privacy and Quality of Service offered by scalable on-demand VPN serv...

Update of molecular biology databases is a growing burden on the biomedical research community. As the grid allows to share and replicate data, we propose a service to automatically update the biology databases from a single changing reference using web services. In this paper we report the components, the architecture and the deployment of the update service on the french RUGBI grid infrastruc...

Workflow is an important approach for the specification and management of complex processing tasks. This approach is especially powerful for utilizing distributed service and processing resources in grid systems. Some researches on the combination of workflow and grid exist, leading to many approaches to grid workflow support. We describe our MOM-based Service Flow Management System composing c...

In this paper, an integrated development environment for service-oriented Grid applications integrated into the Eclipse platform is presented. Its design is based on model-driven software development principles, allowing domain experts to rapidly develop Grid applications by hiding the complexities of the Grid middleware. The functionality of the three main components supporting service creatio...

One of the most widely used media delivery technology across Internet is streaming. It enables users to receive multimedia content and provides some control functionality over the media. Videoconferencing technologies such as H.323, SIP and AccessGrid, provide audio and visual interactive environment to their clients. We have developed Global multimedia Conferencing System (Global MMCS), which ...
