Service Oriented Architectures for Grid Computing Environments, IEEE Conference
Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) support the development of software applications as loosely coupled discrete
web services capable of running on multiple software and hardware platforms. Grid computing has allowed for the virtualization of
both hardware and software resources, whereby it is possible to dynamically share, select, and use geographically
distributed resources based on users' needs. While Grid computing offers a way of distributing the system resources
dynamically, SOA provides open standards based Web services for its users to discover and use available resources across the
system. Hence it is a natural fit to leverage the benefits of Grid computing architectures using SOA. This paper examines the
current developments in providing SOA based open standards for Grid services and some of their limitations.
