Classification and Implementations of Workflow-Oriented Grid Portals

  • Conference paper
Book cover High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC 2005)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCCN,volume 3726))

Abstract

Although several grid projects have the aim to develop portals that hide the complexity of distributed computing infrastructures, only few of these portals support workflow-based applications. The number of portals that enable collaborative workflow development or collaborative resource access is even lower. The paper introduces a model to categorize workflow-oriented grid portals based on two general features: ability to access multiple grids simultaneously and support for collaborative problem solving. The generic features of the different categories are discussed and the Globus-based implementations of the various categories are demonstrated by the P-GRADE Portal.

The work described in this paper is supported by the Hungarian grid project (IHM 4671/1/2003) and by the Hungarian OTKA project (No. T042459).
