A Brief History of GRIDs • 1G: custom-made architecture machines to user • Pioneering metacomputing • 2G: proprietary standards and interfaces • I-WAY GLOBUS, UNICORE, CONDOR, LEGION AVAKI • 2.5G: added in FTP, SRB, LDAP, AccessGRID • 3G: adopted W3C concepts for open interfaces – OGSA / OGSI: note especially OGSA/DAI • But built on 2.G foundations e-Science Apps e-Science R&D
But….. • This comes nowhere near the requirements as originally defined for GRIDs • Too low-level (programmer not end-user level) • Insufficient representativity • Insufficient expressivity • Insufficient resilience • Insufficient dynamic flexibility
Input Parameter definitions Service description (descriptive metadata) Output Parameter definitions Functional Program Code (to deliver the service) Restrictions on use of service (restrictive metadata) Services: Challenges 1 • Description • Location • Requirements matching • Composing • Utilising • metadata
Services: Challenges 2 Multiple Instances Parallel execution • Composition • End-to-end FR satisfaction • End-to-end NFRs satisfaction • Avoiding emergent properties • Conditions of use of services • Processes • wrapped with data • wrapped with processing, storage etc • wrapped with real estate • wrapped with staff

Workflow on the GRIDs Surface • Nirvana is • GRIDs ‘surface’ • Providing computation, information presentation and information management • Plus Self* resilience • Plus capabilities to support workflow
