A Service-Oriented, Scalable Approach to Grid-Enabling of Legacy Scientific Applications

Category: Software and Web Development, Networking and Communications

Overview This paper describes a scalable approach to the enabling of legacy scientific applications on computing Grids using a service-oriented architecture. In the context of this paper Grid-enabling means turning an existing application, installed on a Grid resource, into a service and generating the application-specific user interfaces to use that application through a web portal. The focus of this paper's approach is on Grid-enabling "Command-oriented" scientific applications. The novel aspect of the approach is that the entire process - from turning an application into a service to the user-interface generation for that application - is done automatically, without requiring coding or Grid-system downtime. Portlet technology is used to dynamically generate application-specific interfaces.
