“…An effort has been made in presenting such a Web-based Grid architecture (ASIDS) [17] that integrates heterogeneous data sources in order to fetch data with a single instance of SQL query. Demand for middleware that can support secure and managed sharing of networked computational resources makes Grid Computing a necessity.…”

Fully-converged Grids and Web Services (WSs) can lead to the development of a new infrastructure that would offer a more powerful set of networking capabilities and features. On one hand, this convergence was favourably looked at, with the expectation of providing better technical solutions to highly complex business problems while, on the other hand, it was seen as an impossible task, bearing considerable risk and presenting many challenges along the way, resulting in a permanent rift between the two paradigms, Grids and WSs. This paper presents an overview of the past and ongoing efforts towards realizing this convergence, its potential benefits and the risks involved and measures to avoid them. Furthermore, we argue that if this convergence is unsuccessful, with future WSs moving away from Grid-oriented principles and implementations, the concept of Grids might fade gradually away, giving way to the competing technologies. The Grid paradigm however offers certain advantages and is in this sense irreplaceable. Faced with the prospects of non-convergence and consequent demise, in order to achieve a viable Grid infrastructure, Grids need to maintain their identity by providing application-oriented, real-world enterprise solutions to business applications. Grid technology would need more and more to be applied in a practical and efficient way to real use cases, to demonstrate its comparative advantage over other competing technologies. In order to fully exploit the potential of WSs, Grid technology needs to come out from its internal tussle of definitions, standards, etc. which has been a major set-back for the future of Grids, not only in the past but also at present, and move forward faster in terms of its implementation in real-world enterprise use cases and applications.

HealthGrids represent the next generation of advanced healthcare IT and hold the promise to untangle complex healthcare-data problems by integrating health information systems and healthcare entities. Healthcare could benefit from a new delivery approach using HealthGrids to better meet the biomedical and health-related needs. Specialized services are needed to provide unified discovery of and ubiquitous access to available HealthGrid resources. The different types of services available on HealthGrids are classified into two levels, the operational-level services and the management-level services. This paper takes a fresh approach to address the problems of resource discovery in HealthGrids based on Web services (WS) and WS technologies and proposes a WS-based resource discovery model.
