The Delivery and Accounting Middleware in the ShanghaiGrid

The ShanghaiGrid is a Grid Computing Environment (GCE) being under construction based on the Grid Service standards and technologies in Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA). The primary motivation of the grid is to build a general, shared Information Grid Platform and to terminate the history of the case-by-case designing pattern in the development of grids. In this paper, we give a brief introduction to the concept, infrastructure, and key technologies of the ShanghaiGrid. Particularly, we focus on the introduction of the Grid Services Delivery Toolkit and the Grid Accounting Toolkit, which play an important role in the ShanghaiGrid as Grid middleware.
