“…Finally, we are planning to incorporate WSQBE support for automatically discovering relevant services given a Java interface into JGRIM [62], an infrastructure for easing the development of applications for service-oriented Grids. The goal is to allow developers to invoke Web services as easily as local Java methods, this is, without dealing with Web service technology details, including discovering.…”

Web services have acquired enormous popularity among software developers. This popularity has motivated developers to publish a large number of Web service descriptions in UDDI registries. Although these registries provide search facilities, they are still rather difficult to use and often require service consumers to spend too much time manually browsing and selecting service descriptions. This paper presents a novel search method for Web services called WSQBE that aims at both easing query specification and assisting discoverers by returning a short and accurate list of candidate services. In contrast with previous approaches, WSQBE discovery process is based on an automatic search space reduction mechanism that makes this approach more efficient. Empirical evaluations of WSQBE search space reduction mechanism, retrieval performance, processing time and memory usage, using a registry with 391 service descriptions, are presented.

“…For instance, a Proactive application can be executed on several Internet-connected machines by configuring and launching the application at a single location. Another incipient work towards this end can be found in [77], a middleware with the goal of easing both programming and deployment of conventional Java applications.…”

The Grid shows itself as a globally distributed computing environment, in which hardware and software resources are virtualized to transparently provide applications with vast capabilities. Just like the electrical power grid, the Grid aims at offering a powerful yet easy-to-use computing infrastructure to which applications can be easily 'plugged' and efficiently executed. Unfortunately, it is still very difficult to Grid-enable applications, since current tools force users to take into account many details when adapting applications to run on the Grid. In this paper, we survey some of the recent efforts in providing tools for easy gridification of applications and propose several taxonomies to identify approaches followed in the materialization of such tools. We conclude this paper by describing common features among the proposed approaches, and by pointing out open issues and future directions in the research and development of gridification methods.

“…Similarly, a mission critical computation may be submitted to Globus, thus increasing fault tolerance. The metaservice also materializes policies [23,44], i.e. non-intrusive mechanisms by which developers can customize the way an application behaves within a Grid.…”

“…Component interface definition: Here, the developer specifies the interfaces of the internal and external application components so as to separate what a component does from how it does it. For the internal interfaces, this is a common practice in Java, thus the task is seldom necessary [23]. For the external ones, it involves specifying the method signatures of the outsourced services.…”

m‐JGRIM: a novel middleware for Gridifying Java applications into mobile Grid services

The benefits of Grids for building massively distributed applications have been broadly acknowledged. However, the high complexity of developing Grid applications compromises the widespread adoption of the paradigm. In a previous paper (Future Gener. Comput. Syst. 2008; 24(2):99-118), we have described JGRIM, a method for easily 'gridifying' Java applications, based on non-invasively injecting Grid functionality into ordinary code through Dependency Injection (DI). DI is similar to the Inversion of Control notion of object-oriented frameworks and allows external services providing certain functionality to be injected into application components that require these services without affecting the components' implementation. In this paper, we briefly revisit JGRIM and present m-JGRIM, a novel Java middleware that materializes JGRIM concepts by transforming ordinary applications into entities called Mobile Grid Services, i.e. gridified applications with mobile capabilities that live within a Grid. We also provide an evaluation of the performance of m-JGRIM. Grid practitioners should find this paper useful in having an assessment of the practical benefits and costs of gridifying applications with the middleware, and a down-to-earth description of JGRIM, whose advantages for Grid-enabling applications from a software engineering perspective have been already evaluated in (Future Gener. Comput. Syst. 2008; 24(2):99-118).
