Introduction

     

Grid Computing has attracted global technical communities with the evolution of Business On Demand computing and Autonomic Computing. Grid Computing is a process of coordinated resource sharing and problem solving in dynamic, multi-institutional virtual organizations. In the context of Business On Demand and Autonomic Computing (i.e., self-regulating), Grid Computing deserves special attention.

It is a technical challenge to achieve a highly ambitious interaction among resources being shared across virtual organizations with less centralized control, while at the same time ensuring the highest quality of service. The GGF is striving to standardize this process of resource sharing through a set of software architecture standards and other important framework initiatives. The GGF started a number of architecture standardization efforts in order to provide better software interoperability, higher levels of security, more encompassing resource definitions, discovery capabilities, policy management, and overall environmental manageability aspects. One such architecture standardization process is theOGSA, discussed in the previous chapter.

The base component of that architecture is the OGSI. The OGSI is a grid software infrastructure standardization initiative, based on the emerging Web services standards that are intended to provide maximum interoperability among OGSA software components .
