Automatic Service Deployment Using Virtualisation

Manual deployment of the application usually requires expertise both about the underlying system and the application. Automatic service deployment can improve deployment significantly by using on-demand deployment and self-healing services. To support these features this paper describes an extension the globus workspace service. This extension includes creating virtual appliances for grid services, service deployment from a repository, and influencing the service schedules by altering execution planning services, candidate set generators or information systems.
