Light-weight service-oriented grid application toolkit

Published: 23 April 2006 Publication History

Abstract

Grid has been focused in a distributed computing community. There has been a lot of research in these areas, especially for design and development of Grid middleware. More recently, the service-oriented architecture based on Web Services rapidly became a major issue. The service-oriented architecture provides a modularized functionality to Grid applications. However, this new technology has some limitations. Web Services basically works with the SOAP protocol, but it is not suitable for massive scientific data. In this paper, we propose MAGE, Modular and Adaptive Grid Environment, which is uses dynamically reconfigurable component architecture with interfaces. MAGE provides several level of transparency to the Grid application development, and it can dynamically reconfigure its architecture to adapt to heterogeneous Grid environments.
