Abstract

The chapter discusses how to simplify integration of Grid applications in the Remote Instrumentation Infrastructure with usage of parametric extensions for JSDL. Capabilities of Parametric Sweep are presented spotlighting features most valuable in the frame of applying to Instrument Element enabled applications. Then a brief analysis of JSDL support in most common middlewares is followed by a real case study for one of the DORII project’s applications. Starting from this application’s use case two solutions in the field of parametric jobs are presented – g-Eclipse JSDL-Param library and Workflow Management System in DORII.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Though it is named computational on the JSDL-WG web page it can be also used for data transfer operations alone.

  2. 2.

    The extensible architecture is becoming a popular solution in resource description; it is also introduced in the Job Description (JD) Document by Globus Toolkit version 4.2.1. The difference is that Globus’ GRAM4 was designed to support a single extension point (for Local Resource Manager) which is one of the reasons this middleware is lacking support for JSDL. See Table 1. for details.
