  4. Demanding Business Drivers • Integration of the product design process chain (CAE/CAD/CAT) including external engineering companies, developers and suppliers • Multi-disciplinary collaborative configuration design of complex aerospace products • Drug discovery environment managing the distribution of both public and commercial bioinformatics data and analysis services • Virtual Global Information System Centre supporting the distribution and integration of large scale meteorology data providers

  9. GRIA Overview (http://www.gria.org) • Open source Grid middleware aimed at supporting B2B collaboration based on proven e-Commerce principles • V4.3.0 has easy-to-use yet powerful functionality • business-to-business accounting and QoS services • distributed file transfer, storage and processing • OGSA-DAI database services • inter-domain distributed workflow using Taverna • V5.0 to be released May 2006 • Aligned with key Grid/web service standards and specifications • WSRF Profile, WS-N, WS-Federation, WS-I Basic Profile and WS-I Basic Security Profile

  10. GRIA: Supporting the needs of business • Develop Grid infrastructure to support cost effective dynamic business collaborations • Some important business drivers that we need to support • minimal authorisation and administration • explicit trust decision points and value exchange • unite customers and suppliers based on SLA’s rather than a community-based resource provision • higher-levels of management grounded in business objectives • firewall and network friendly • compliance with industrial operational security policies (ISO/IEC 17799:2005)

  11. SIMDAT’s Industrial Grid Profile • Whitepaper aimed at industrial Grid users from SIMDAT Grid technologists (Intel, NEC and IT Innovation) • Motivated by business needs • Understand issues with key Grid-related specifications when applied to industrial applications • security, operational, performance requirements • Recommend how the specifications can be safely adopted • Publish industrial Grid profiles to wider community • Engage with appropriate initiatives to influence future direction of specifications • Currently under internal review, looking to publish Q3 2006 following proof of concept deployments

  12. Some Key Specifications and Standards • WS-Addressing (WS-A) • describes the encapsulation and use of a (possibly contextualised) Web Service address via End Point References (EPR) • Web Service Resource Framework (WSRF) • collection of specifications, which describes a particular use of WS-Addressing to access resources via contextualised Web Services • WS-Notification (WSN) • collection of specifications, which builds further on WSRF to define patterns for transmitting notifications between Web Services • OGSA WSRF profile • defines normative functionality expected of an OGSA-compliant Grid, building on WSRF and WSN. • Others under analysis include WSDM, WS-Agreement, WS-Trust, WS-Federation, JSDL, etc
