Project Description |
The real problem underlying the Grid concept for advanced e-Science
applications is coordinated resource sharing and problem solving in
dynamic, multi-institutional virtual organisations (VOs). Previous
attempts and existing approaches for such large-scale distributed
applications are often tightly coupled, static, inflexible, and
associated with specific protocols. The overall goal of the e-Demand
project is to address this problem by developing a demand-led and
service-centric architecture for building complex but dependable and
secure Grid applications based on the notion of ultra-late binding,
dynamically bound service components, combined with atomic actions
as a powerful control abstraction. This new architecture is
protocol-independent, and able to wrap and package other
applications and technology including existing Grid protocols and
services. |
