Agenda • Service Oriented Architecture • Grid Computing • Standards involved
What is Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)? • An SOA application is a composition of services • A “service” is the atomic unit of an SOA • Services encapsulate a business process • Service Providers Register themselves • Service use involves: Find, Bind, Execute • Most well-known instance is Web Services Service Registry Find Register Service Consumer Service Provider Bind, Execute
Service Registry Find Register Service Consumer Service Provider Bind, Execute SOA Actors • Service Provider • Provides a stateless, location transparent business service • Service Registry • Allows service consumers to locate service providers that meet required criteria • Service Consumer • Uses service providers to complete business processes
Service Registry Find Register Service Consumer Service Provider Bind, Execute SOA Benefits Business Benefits • Focus on Business Domain solutions • Leverage Existing Infrastructure • Agility Technical Benefits • Loose Coupling • Autonomous Service • Location Transparency • Late Binding

What is Grid Computing? “A computational grid is a hardware and software infrastructure that provides dependable, consistent, pervasive, and inexpensive access to high-end computational capabilities.” -”The Grid: Blueprint for a New Computing Infrastructure”, Kesselman & Foster • Criteria for a Grid*: • Coordinates resources that are not subject to centralized control. • Uses standard, open, general-purpose protocols and interfaces. • Delivers nontrivial qualities of service. Source: “What is the Grid? A Three Point Checklist”, Ian Foster, Argonne National Laboratory & University of Chicago
Grid Computing Benefits • Exploit Underutilized resources • CPU Scavenging, Hotspot leveling • Resource Balancing • Virtualize resources across an enterprise • Data Grids, Compute Grids • Enable collaboration for virtual organizations
Two Key Grid Computing Groups The Globus Alliance (www.globus.org) • Composed of people from: Argonne National Labs, University of Chicago, University of Southern California Information Sciences Institute, University of Edinburgh and others. • OGSA/I standards initially proposed by the Globus Group • Based off papers “Anatomy of the Grid” & “Physiology of the Grid” The Global Grid Forum (www.ggf.org) • History • First meeting in June of 1999, Based off the IETF charter • Heavy involvement of Academic Groups and Industry • (e.g. IBM Grid Computing, HP, United Devices, Oracle, UK e-Science Programme, US DOE, US NSF, Indiana University, and many others) • Process • Meets three times annually • Solicits involvement from industry, research groups, and academics
