| Abstract: | We describe our DISCWorld system for wide-area, high-performance metacomputing in which we adopt a high-level, service-based approach. Users’ client programs request combinations of services from a set of server nodes which communicate at a peer-based level. DISCWorld is a constrained metacomputing system, running only the service operations its participating resource administrators have chosen to provide and advertise, and provides a common integration environment for clients to access these services and developers to make them available. We discuss our software architecture and experiences building DISCWorld using Java and CORBA components, and the associated research issues for metacomputing that we are addressing. |
