A web-services-based deployment framework in grid computing environment

Grid computing offers great opportunities for companies to tap new streams of revenues by taking advantages of the wired computing powers based on the grid service architectures. Resource allocation is one of the key concerns in such a computing environment. In this paper, we present a deployment framework for grid computing. The framework enables open grid services to dynamically deploy (deploy, update, and remove) computing powers including services, and services supporting runtime, etc. in the grids. One of the key components in this framework is the service deployment gateway that offers grid deployment services. The gateway is built upon an integration platform that captures the deployment logics. Implementation details are also provided in this paper to demonstrate this framework.
