• Develop a common set of reusable components for accessing Grid
services.
• Focus on supporting the rapid development of Science Portals, Problem
Solving Environments, and science applications that access Grid resources.
• Develop and deploy a set of “Web Services” that access underlying Grid
services.
• Integrate the Grid Security Infrastructure (GSI) into the “Web
Services” model.
 Provide access to higher level Grid services that are language
independent and are described via commodity Web technologies
such as WSDL..
Impact and Connections
Milestones/Dates/Status
IMPACT.
 Allow application developers to make use of Grid services from higherlevel frameworks such as Java and Python.
 Easier development of advanced Grid services.
 Easier and more rapid application development.
 Encourage code reuse, and avoid duplication of effort amongst the
collaboratory projects.
 Encourage the reuse of Web Services as part of the Grids.
 The main goal of this project is to create Software Development Kits in
both Java and Python that allow easy access to Grid services.
CONNECTIONS: We are working closely or as part of with the Globus
research project, we work with a variety of major funded applications
through SciDAC, NSF, en EU grants, E.g. DOE Science Grid, Earth
Systems Grid, Supernova Factory, NASA IPG.
Principal Investigators: Gregor von Laszewski, ANL
Keith. Jackson, LBL
 Provide access to basic Grid services:
- GRAM, MDS, Security, GridFTP
- Replica Catalog, co-scheduling
 Composable Components:
- Develop guidelines for component development 1
- Design and implement component hierarchies 1&2
- Develop a component repository
 Web/Grid Services:
- Integrate GSI
1
- Develop an initial set of useful Web/Grid services

Additional Questions
• Needs?
– Quite a few projects (not just SciDAC) have
approached us.
– Will we have enough resources to successfully
communicate with all the groups?
– To which groups should we restrict ourselfs?
• Interactions within SciDAC?
– Essential
• DOE Science Grid, Middleware2Portals
– Interest based on meetings with members (not PI) of
• ESG II, Fusion, CMCS, PPDG
