“…The modern grids are based on open grid services architecture (OGSA) and Web services resource framework (WSRF), which extend the existing Web services and make them stateful, transient, and give notification support. They have become one of the standard solutions for scientific applications [3][4][5]. They enable the sharing and aggregation of millions of resources (e.g., SETI@Home [6]) geographically distributed across organizations and administrative domains.…”

Large-scale cross-disciplinary scientific collaborations are increasingly common and require an overarching e-Science cyberinfrastructure. However, the ad hoc and incoherent integration of computational and storage resources, sensor networks, and scientific data sharing and knowledge inference models cannot effectively support cross-domain and collaborative scientific research. In this work, we design and develop a smart e-Science cyberinfrastructure which forms the key resource-sharing backbone that enables each participating scientific community to expose their sensor, computational, data, and intellectual resources in a service-oriented manner, accompanied by the domain-specific knowledge. IntroductionScience is broadly categorized into various distinct fields. However, there is a recent trend toward large-scale cross-disciplinary scientific research projects involving multiple organizations. A good example is in the field of environmental science, which involves studying the interactions of the physical, chemical, and biological components of the environment, with particular emphasis on the impact of human activities on biodiversity and sustainability. The participating researchers in such cross-disciplinary scientific research projects require efficient access to geographically distributed sensors and instruments, computational servers, and storage to carry out time-critical data collection, processing, analysis, and management tasks.e-Science is a paradigm shift in scientific research that enables scientists to generate, process, and access data from distributed sources while making use of

B2B and long running B2C process is a complex business process that contains a set of services, state and transaction management, and involves notification of various events occurring during the execution of a process. Business processes are driven by events and each process should be capable to handle the dynamic nature of enterprise and business partners like change in the strategies, policies and exception handling. Execution of a business process at regional or national scale involves diversity in products, terminology and processes involved to carry out a complete business activity. Complete execution of a process requires dynamic composition of distributed services based on events. Heterogeneity, dynamic nature and lack of knowledge among business partners demand a scalable architecture, which can provide seamless interoperable integration of distributed heterogeneous services and automation of business processes with the management of state and transaction, notification of various events, and execution and monitoring of a process. In this paper, we have proposed Semantic based Service-Oriented Grid Architecture to demonstrate how semantics can be employed in SOA to deliver common vocabulary, knowledge, and automation of a business process and how grid middleware can be used to provide state, transaction, notification, scalability, and execution and monitoring of business processes.

Long running business processes require composition of services for task accomplishment. BPEL provide a mechanism to model business workflow among collaborating Web Services distributed across organizations. For effective execution and consistent outcomes from such composite services in a loosely coupled environment, management of state, transaction, notification and execution monitoring are the key requirements. After the emergence of WS-RF, stateful Web services have become integral part of Grid environment. Grid supports execution monitoring, resource sharing, integration and management of large-scale applications. Such capabilities are the backbone for any large-scale enterprise applications. Process oriented workflow execution in a grid environment with the support to manage state, transaction and notification is a challenging issue. In this paper we have proposed architecture to achieve integration of stateful services for a grid workflow. Development of stateful services is based on WS-RF specification to build services to support state management, transaction, notification and execution monitoring of a business process in a large-scale grid environment.
