Concepts and Design Issues of SOA Approach for the Korea e-Science Project

Advanced in IT technologies change everyday people´s life and also bring big change in the way of doing businesses and manufacture. These changes are also affected to traditional research in science. Many people are trying to change the way of doing research in science to get fast results by incorporate science and IT technologies. As part of the ´Korea e-Science Project´, we are mainly focus on user portal and workflow which is front line of software to use system services and resources. Our plan for portal and workflow is to make them general as possible. In this paper, we discuss a service framework for Korea e-Science project. Main idea of this framework is that increase re-usability of created services by Korea e-Science application projects. In many cases, products that developed by individual project cannot or very difficult to used by other projects. We like to provide a framework that make easy to reuse existing individual products that developed by many projects.
