GSiB: PSE Infrastructure for Dynamic Service-Oriented Grid Applications

This paper describes the Grid-Service-in-a-Box(GSiB) system – a visual environment for both service providers and service clients who wish to deploy, manage, and use services in a Grid environment, without having to be experts in Grid and Web service technologies. GSiB provides a variety of easy-to-use graphical user interfaces for service providers to deploy, undeploy, update, compose, and monitor services, and for service client to generate service-composite application, and to track and monitor submitted jobs. In this paper, these interfaces are described and several implementation issues are addressed.
