Abstract

This paper describes the Grid-Service-in-a-Box (GSiB) system-a visual environment for both service providers and service clients who wish to deploy, manage, and use services in a Grid environment, without having to be experts in Grid and Web service technologies. GSiB provides a variety of easy-to-use graphical user interfaces for service providers to deploy, undeploy, update, compose, and monitor services. In addition, service clients can generate service-composite applications, and track and monitor submitted jobs. This paper describes these interfaces and several implementation issues are addressed. An example service-based application is presented to illustrate how a workflow can be used to generate and execute an application on Grid infrastructure.
