The use of Web services as a means of dynamically discovering, negotiating, composing, executing and managing services to materialize enterprise-scale workflow is an active research topic. Existing approaches involve many disparate concepts, frameworks and technologies. What is needed is a comprehensive and overarching framework that handles the processing and workflow requirements of Virtual Organizations, maps them to a collection of service-oriented tasks, dynamically configures these tasks from available services, and manages the choreography and execution of these services. The goal is to add semantics to Web services to endow them with capabilities needed for their successful deployment in enterprise-scale systems for Virtual Organizations.This paper introduces such a framework, the Knowledge-based Dynamic Semantic Web Services (KDSWS) Framework that addresses in an integrated end-to-end manner, the life-cycle of activities involved in preparing, publishing, requesting, discovering, selecting, configuring, deploying, and delivering Semantic Web Services. In particular, the following issues are addressed with an emphasis on adaptability to rapidly changing environments and standards: (1) semantic specification of both service's and requestor's capabilities, constraints and preferences including quality of service, trust, and security; (2) transaction control and workflow management; and (3) resource management, interoperation and evolution of the Virtual Organization.

“…The discovery services incorporates a scoring system that creates indexes from relevant metadata fields, such as title, abstract, keywords, temporal and geographical coordinates, etc. In addition, by incorporating earth science ontologies such as GMET and SWEET (Pouchard et al 2003), the portal provides users with a controlled navigation tool, based on the taxonomical relations between meteorological terms, thus increasing the probability of a more successful, rapid and efficient data discovery.…”

Virtual organisation in the SIMDAT meteorological activity: a decentralised access control mechanism for distributed data

et al. 2009

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The EU funded SIMDAT project is aimed at applying generic grid technology for the solution of complex application problems in several representative fields including automotive, aerospace, pharmaceutical and meteorology. To satisfy the requirements of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the WMO Information Systems (WIS), the partners in the meteorology activity within SIMDAT (ECMWF, Deutscher Wetterdienst, the UK Met office, EUMETSAT and Météo-France), have developed grid-enabled software that provides generic distributed access to distributed meteorological data repositories via web-based portals, through a series of nodes organized in a mesh network. However, granting access to such an infrastructure, especially considering its fully distributed nature, is a serious challenge and a risk to the security of the overall grid infrastructure. SIMDAT solves this problem by implementing a security model based on a decentralized fine-grained access control mechanism that federates data providers and security issues using the notion of "trust domains". In this paper we highlight the main features of the SIMDAT grid application and describe its security model in detail.

Abstract. Grid computing environments can share resources and services in a large-scale. These environments are being considered as an effective solution for many organizations to execute distributed applications to obtain high level of performance and availability. However, the use of a grid environment can be a complex task for an ordinary user, demanding a previous knowledge of the access requirements from a virtual organization. In order to improve the search of resources and its selection, in this paper we propose the use of ontology as alternative approach to help the use of grid services. This paradigm can provide a description of available resources, leading users to desire operations and describing resources syntax and semantics that can form a common domain vocabulary. Our experimental result indicates that our proposal allows a better comprehension about available resources.
