GSiB: PSE infrastructure for dynamic service-oriented grid applications

Abstract

This paper describes the Grid-Service-in-a-Box(GSiB) system - a visual environment for both service providers and service clients who wish to deploy, manage, and use services in a Grid environment, without having to be experts in Grid and Web service technologies. GSiB provides a variety of easy-to-use graphical user interfaces for service providers to deploy, undeploy, update, compose, and monitor services, and for service clients to generate service-composite applications, and to track and monitor submitted jobs. In this paper, these interfaces are described and several implementation issues are addressed. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2003.
