Some of the most notable and interesting basic services are as follows :
Common Management Model (CMM)
Service domains
Distributed data access and replication
Policy
Security
Provisioning and resource management
Accounting/metering
Common distributed logging
Monitoring
Scheduling
These representational services are derived from the use cases, which we have discussed in the last chapter. In subsequent chapters we will cover each of the above core services in greater detail. This discussion will include these services and their behaviors, the interfaces and information model, and their relevance to the grid community and OGSA in particular. Some of these basic services have already been defined and others are still evolving. However, we believe these services are representational services and, hence, require a more thorough discussion.
