The gSOAP and Grid Service Architecture for Distributed System Integration

When designing distributed web services, there are three properties that are commonly desired: consistency, availability, and partition tolerance. It is impossible to achieve all three. This paper studies the usability, interoperability, and performance issues of SOAP/XML-based Web and Grid Services for scientific computing. Several key issues are addressed that are important for the deployment of high performance and mission-critical SOAP/XML-based services.
