ICENI: an open grid service architecture implemented with Jini

ABSTRACT

The move towards Service Grids, where services are composed to meet the requirements of a user community within constraints specified by the resource provider, present many challenges to service provision and description. To support our research activities in the autonomous composition of services to form a Semantic Service Grid we describe the adoption within ICENI of web services to enable interoperability with the recently proposed Open Grid Services Architecture.
