This paper presents a platform that provides developers with a friendly development environment of grid services over Globus Toolkit 3. This platform includes a class of functions for processing parameters inputted from a developer via GUI and a class of functions for generating files required for defining grid services that the developer specifies. As a result, the development of grid services requires less special expert knowledge of a developer, the efficiency of developing grid services can be improved, and Globus Toolkit therefore increases its popularity and is for more practical and wider uses. This paper describes our design ideas, necessary functions, and implementations. The comparisons with other related toolkits are given in the paper.

This article presents an enhanced platform that provides a friendly environment of developing grid services and accessing grid services over Globus Toolkit 3 (GT3). This platform includes a class of functions for processing parameters input from a developer via GUI, a class of functions for generating files required for defining a grid service specified, and a class of functions for creating client program and facilitating accesses of the deployed services. As a result, the development and access of grid services requires less special expert knowledge of a developer at the server side and users at the client side, the efficiency of developing and accessing grid services can be improved. This paper describes our design ideas, necessary functions, and implementations. The comparisons with other related toolkits are given and the extended version of the platform on top of the web service environment rather than GT3.
