Service Oriented Architectures and Grid Computing - A New Generation of Applications for Grid Enabled Data Centers and Public Utility Computing

Overview Cluster- and Grid infrastructures have gained significant popularity within the scientific community, and in recent years also became the platform of choice for commercial applications in various fields. The authors argue in this paper that a combination of service oriented architecture style systems design, implemented within cluster- and grid infrastructures, and controlled by dynamic multi-agent systems, will enable new types of applications that can not only leverage the resources of datacenters most efficiently, but also form the foundation for public utility computing. Key to this technique is the decomposition of traditional applications into functional units, which are then exposed as services. The paper describes the basic requirements and control mechanisms, as well as the benefits of this novel systems design.
