Reengineering websites into stateful resources for grid service oriented evolution

Abstract

Grid services have emerged by combining Web services and Grid computing to perform a seamless information processing system across distributed, heterogeneous, dynamic virtual organisations that the user can access from any location. The Web service Resource Framework (WSRF) is a new way for manipulating “stateful resources” to perform Grid services. It defines the concept of “stateful resources” and how they can be discovered, queried and manipulated via Web services. This paper proposes a service-oriented reengineering approach to create stateful resources from conventional HTML Websites. This approach applies hierarchical cluster techniques to extract and translate Website resources. It supports service identification and packaging, and also achieves Website evolution into Grid service environment by exploiting WSRF.
