Grid Services Engineering And Management: First International Conference, Gsem 2004, Erfurt, Germany, September 27-30, 2004, Proceedings (lecture Notes In Computer Science)

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on Grid Services Engineering and Management, GSEM 2004, held in Erfurt, Germany, in September 2004. The 11 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 21 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on grid service architecture, grid service composition, service security, and grid service management. This volume consists of the proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Grid Services Engineering and Management (GSEM 2004)that washeld in c- junction with the 5th International Conference Net. ObjectDays 2004 (NODE 2004) and the European Conference on Web Services 2004 (ECOWS 2004) in Erfurt, Germany on 27-30 September 2004. The Grid has emerged as a global platform to support on-demand virtual organizations for coordinated sharing of distributed data, applications and p- cesses. Service orientation of the Grid also makes it a promising platform for seamlessanddynamicdevelopment, integrationanddeploymentofservice-ori- ted applications. The application components can be discovered, composed and delivered within a Grid of services, which are loosely coupled to create dynamic business processes and agile applications spanning organizations and comp- ing platforms. The technologies contributing to such grids of services include Web services, the semantic Web, grid computing, component softwareand agent technologies. The GSEM 2004 conference provided an international forum for presenting thelatesttheoreticalandpracticalresultsintechnologysolutionsforengineering and management of Grid services and service-oriented applications. The conf- ence aimed at bringing together researchersand practitioners from diverse?elds and interests, including Web services, the semantic Web, Grid infrastructures, software components, work?ows, agent technologies and service management, and those looking for new business and research cooperation opportunities in the area of Grid services and service-oriented applications Front Matter....Pages - Using Web Services Architecture in a Grid Infrastructure: An Early Implementation of Web Services Actors, Programming a Grid Application to Access Astronomical Databases....Pages 1-14 A Scalable Entry-Level Architecture for Computational Grids Based on Web Services....Pages 15-29 Enhancing Java Grid Computing Security with Resource Control....Pages 30-47 An Approach to Flexible Application Composition in a Diverse Software Landscape....Pages 48-62 An Ontology-Based Framework for Semantic Grid Service Composition....Pages 63-77 Towards a Metamodeling Based Method for Representing and Selecting Grid Services....Pages 78-93 Towards a Flexible Trust Model for Grid Environments....Pages 94-106 Decentralized, Adaptive Services: The AspectIX Approach for a Flexible and Secure Grid Environment....Pages 107-118 A Specification for Security Services on Computational Grids....Pages 119-135 Grid Service Management by Using Remote Maintenance Shell....Pages 136-150 The Grid-Occam Project....Pages 151-164 Back Matter....Pages - According to the definition of the grid concept [5], a grid solution is created no allows applications to share data and resources as well to access them across multiple organizations in an efficient way.
