JISGA: A Jini-Based Service-Oriented Grid Architecture

Yan Huang

DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE, CARDIFF UNIVERSITY, PO BOX 916, CARDIFF CF24 3XF,UNITED KINGDOM

This paper describes how to extend a Jini system into an OGSA-compliant infrastructure for Grid computing by introducing Web service techniques into the Jini system. The Jini-based Service-oriented Grid Architecture (JISGA) is presented, the functionality of the system is described, and the main services and components of the system are discussed. The paper shows how to present a Jini service as a Web service, and how an application composed of interacting services can be described using the service workflow description language (SWFL). The conversion of a composite application specified in an SWFL document into an executable Java code, and its subsequent execution, are also discussed. This latter capability, enabled by the SWFL2Java tool, permits the blocking and non-blocking submission of jobs to the Grid, and their processing in both sequential and parallel execution modes.

Key Words: Jini • service-oriented architecture • Web services • Grid computing
