Combining AJAX and WSRF for Web-Browser Based Grid Clients

Overview This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of combining Asynchronous Javascript And XML (AJAX) and the REpresentational State Transfer (REST) architectural style with the Web Service Resource Framework (WSRF) standard. Accessing WS-Resources (according to WSRF) in a manner compatible with the REST principles, using a Web browser, makes it possible to provide a light-weight, portable client for interacting with scientific simulations in distributed computing environments, with similar functionality to pre-existing platform-specific clients that required a full installation procedure. This paper describes this client and emphasises which standards and principles of distributed computing have played a key role in putting this application together.
