Design of SOA-based Grid Computing with Enterprise Service Bus

Due to great advantages that Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) offers to its adopters in almost all fields, many studies tried to leverage it in grid computing. These studies focused on enabling easy access and flexible management to underlying grid resources. However, none of them allowed access to grid resources through various technologies. Rather, most of them utilized SOA in terms of XML web services without considering its limitations. In this paper, we will introduce a high level architecture that goes beyond traditional efforts in leveraging SOA in grid computing. This architecture uses Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) model by leveraging Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) to offer a number of endpoints for published services. With these endpoints different requirements from both grid clients and executors could be easily and efficiently met. Proposed architecture does not tend to supersede other SOA-based grid computing frameworks and standards. Instead, it offers a new method for wrapping grid computing resources with a set of configurable WCF services that could be utilized by these frameworks.
