Research on Water Resources Grid Based on SOA

This paper introduces the service-oriented architecture (SOA) and grid technology. SOA has the characteristic of loose coupling, easy to realize cross-application integration and achieve the complete separation of business and technology. Grid technology has the ability of using the geographical distribution resources on the Internet, provides users with information and application integration services and archives the full realization of information sharing.How to integrate SOA with Grid? According to the requirement of Water Resources domain, this paper designs the water resources grid based on SOA (WRGRID). First, we give the framework of WRGRID, and then explain it from three aspects: grid computing, grid storage and grid application. Finally, we describe the implementation of WRGRID at present, and discuss the future work.
