Abstract :
Recently, the Globus Project and IBM initiated a development effort to align Grid technologies with Web services technologies, using the Open Grid Services Architecture. OGSA enables the integration of services and resources across distributed, heterogeneous, dynamic environments and communities. To achieve this integration, the OGSA model adopts the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) and defines the Grid service concept.
