Approaches to Access Grid
• Grid Infrastructure
- Condor, PBS, LSF, SGE
- Globus, UNICORE, EGEE
• Upperware
– Workflow tools with GUIs
• Many use cogkit.org
– Portals
• Teragrid portal, Gridsphere, OGCE
• Many of them use cogkit.org
• Middleware/Upperware
- CoG Kit (cogkit.org)
- Cyberaide.org Gridshell (cyberaide.org)

Portal technologies – Web 2.0
• Web 2.0 technologies applied to web portals
- Web 2.0, a buzz word. “Web as platform”?
- Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax)
- Representational State Transfer (REST)
- Mashup
- Atom and RSS

Portal technologies – Web 2.0
• Ajax
- XML as data interchange medium
- Asynchronous communication with server side
- XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript to manipulate and render DOM
components
- Decrease user waiting time and increase user experience
Web page
Web
Browser
Static pages, CGI, Servlet
Web
Server

JS code, CSS, libraries,
resources

Portal technologies – Web 2.0
• REST/RESTful web service
- Roy Fielding’s doctoral dissertation in 2000
- Resource = functionality + state
- Unique addressable through URI for each resource
- Use HTTP verbs such as GET, POST to do the CRUD operations
(Create, Read, Update, Delete)
- Eliminating the use of additional message layer such as SOAP
or session maintaining cookies
- Simplicity is beauty
• RSS and Atom
- Web content publishing
- Publish “feed”; Subscribe and read
- Aggregating

Portal technologies – Web 2.0
• Mashup
- Data from multiple sources
- Mingle and combine
- Presented in a new perspective

Portal technologies – Web 2.0
• Mashup applied to JavaScript Grid Portal
- Shows mashup happens both in server side and client side

Portal approaches: a comparison
• JSR168 Portal
• Web 2.0 Portal
– Generate markup
segments for each
portlet and assembly
them into a full page
– Info aggregated at
server side
– Portlets displayed
separately
– Relatively old
technology and is to be
enhanced by newer
standard (JSR286)
7/21/2015
– Combine raw data from
different site/web services
– Content aggregation can
happen in server side or
client side
– Could combine data from
different source and
present in a totally new
way
– Web 2.0 technologies
used to provide better user
experience

A Web 2.0 Grid portal and
reusable JavaScript CoG Kit
• Multi-tier SOA based framework
• Grid services are exposed through JavaScript
library in client side for those web based Grid
application developers
• A generic purpose Grid portal built upon the
JavaScript CoG Kit enable access to Teragrid
through web browser

JavaScript Library enables Grid
access
• JavaScript library to consume Java based web
services while providing a higher level abstraction
for web based Grid application developers
• JavaDoc style documentation

html
- Subject to change since it is still under active
development
• Reusable to construct Grid portal or other
domain specific scientific gateways upon it

Conclusions and Discussion
• Road to Grid
-
Abstraction and reuse
More user-friendly and lower barrier
Less user involved setup and configuration
Architecture gets more complicated
Hide more complexity behind the “cloud”
• Trends
7/21/2015
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) / Web services
Software As A Service (SAAS)
Web application / Rich Internet Application
Cloud
