Building Messaging Substrates for Web and Grid Applications

Overview Grid application frameworks have increasingly aligned themselves with the developments in Web Services. Web Services are currently the most popular infrastructure based on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) paradigm. There are three core areas within the SOA framework: a set of capabilities that are remotely accessible, communications using messages, and metadata pertaining to the aforementioned capabilities. This paper focuses on issues related to the messaging substrate hosting these services; these discussions are based on the NaradaBrokering system. The paper outlines strategies to leverage capabilities available within the substrate without the need to make any changes to the service implementations themselves. The paper also identifies the set of services needed to build Grids of Grids.
