The Problem: Integrating Data,
Applications, and Client Devices



The key issue we try to solve is building the distributed computing infrastructure
that can connect
• Legacy data archives
• Executable codes
• Real time data sources
• Client tools for collaboration
 Audio/Video systems, whiteboard annotators, etc
Various application-specific grids can be built out of the common infrastructure
• Science Grids
• Emergency planning, crisis response
We choose certain fixed points for our foundations
• Other standards where available: GIS standards
• Web Service standards: SOAP and WSDL
• Universal messaging substrate for SOAP and other messages:

OGC Standards for GIS


OpenGIS Consortium is an international group
that defines common formats for geospatial data
and service standards.
Main data format language is the XML-based
Geography Markup Language (GML).
• GML is widely accepted as the universal encoding for
geo-referenced data.

OGC defines services.
• Some example OGC services include



Web Feature Service (WFS): for retrieving GML encoded
features, like faults, roads, county boundaries, GPS station
locations,….
Web Map Service (WMS): for creating maps out of Web
Features
http://www.opengeospatial.org
What Are Web Services?
Web Services framework is a way
for doing distributed computing
with XML.
•
•
•


XML provides cross-language
support
Suitable for both human and
application clients.
We are building data grid
components in the same fashion.
•

Allows us to build general purpose
client environments like Web
portals and command line tools.

WSDL

WSDL: Defines interfaces to
functions of remote components.
This is the programming interface.
SOAP: Defines the message format
that you exchange between
components. This carries the
messages over the network.
Web Services are not web pages,
CGI, servlets, applets.

DB
Service Oriented Architecture

Key SOA Features
(Following W3C’s WS Architecture working group.)
•
SOAs are composed of services that present
programmatic access to resources to remote
client applications.
•
Services communicate using messages.
Messages are usually encoded using SOAP.
•
SOAs are metadata rich. We must describe
service interfaces, provide descriptions of
services and publish them into registries.

NaradaBrokering (NB)

NaradaBrokering is a distributed messaging
infrastructure.

It may be thought of a as topic-based
publish/subscribe messaging system:
• interested entities can register to a NaradaBrokering
node to send and receive messages on particular topics.


It supports multiple underlying transport
protocols, intelligent message routing,
asynchronous messaging, reliable delivery, replay
of events, compression/fragmentation, discovery
etc.

Pattern Informatics in a Grid
Environment

PI in a Grid environment:
• Hotspot forecasts are made using publicly available seismic records.
 Southern California Earthquake Data Center
 Advanced National Seismic System (ANSS) catalogs
• Code location is unimportant, can be a service through remote execution
• Results need to be stored, shared, modified
• Grid/Web Services can provide these capabilities

Problems:
• How do we provide programming interfaces (not just user interfaces) to
the above catalogs?
• How do we connect remote data sources directly to the PI code.
• How do we automate this for the entire planet?

Solutions:
• Use GIS services to provide the input data, plot the output data
• Use HPSearch tool to tie together and manage the distributed data sources
and code.

The Interdependent Energy Infrastructure Simulation
System (IEISS) in a Grid Environment

IEISS in a Grid environment:
• IEISS provides modeling, simulation and analysis of interdependent
energy infrastructures. Input is data models in XML format.
 Los Alamos National Laboratory
 Argon National Laboratory
• Code location is unimportant, can be a service through remote execution
• Results need to be stored, shared, annotated
• Grid/Web Services can provide these capabilities

Problems:
• How do we provide programming interfaces (not just user interfaces) to
the input data models?
• How do we connect remote data sources directly to the IEISS code?

Solutions:
• Use a SOA with GIS services to provide the input data, plot the output
data
• Use WS-I compatible XML metadata services to support GIS workflow
applications by providing/maintaining static and dynamic information

7 - On receiving invocation message, IEISS updates the shared state data
to be “IEISS_IS_IN_PROGRES”. IEISS runs and produces an ESRI
Shape file and then invokes shp2gml tool to convert produced Shape
file to GML format. After the conversion IEISS updates shared session
state to be “IEISS_COMPLETED”. As the state changes, the Context
Service notifies all interested workflow entities such as WMS Client.

Some Challenges





Security: These applications have interesting security requirements
• Authentication, authorization and priority for different users
• Time/event dependent security for crisis response
Performance: Are GIS services suitable for non-trivial data transfers?
• We are using streaming data transfers for higher performance
• We research fast data transfer methodologies for higher performance
Fault tolerance and scalability: We must support SOA based distributed
application with reliable information sources.
• We design and build fault tolerant and high performance decentralized
Information Services to support metadata requirements of SOA.
Adoption: We must get the tools and services to the point where science
application developers want to use them early in the development process
rather than later.
• Web Service client libraries to remote GIS data
• Develop codes to work with data streams rather than files.
Extensibility: This architecture can be enhanced by integrating various
types of distributed data sources that can provide geospatial data such as
MySQL, Oracle Spatial, ESRI SDE, Shape files etc.
Location of information and software for
dependent Grid Projects

messaging (software overlay network)

http://www.crisisgrid.org is an OGC (open geospatial
consortium) Geographical Information System (GIS)
compliant GIS and Sensor Grid.

http://www.opengrids.org has WS-Context, Extended
UDDI etc.
