Abstract

The effective and efficient computing resource allocation, leveraging on a flexible, but straightforward to deploy, configure and use matchmaking tool, is a key component in the grand challenge of realistic, high resolution and computing time affordable environmental simulations and forecasts. With the aim of building a computing environmental science virtual laboratory, we developed a suite of Globus Toolkit 4 based web services to implement an interoperable service oriented architecture integrating matchmaking and resource broking, workflow management, data and metadata advertisement and instruments integration.
