Abstract

Manual deployment of an application usually requires expertise both about the underlying system and the application. To support on-demand service deployment or self-healing services this chapter describes an extension of the globus workspace service [12]. This extension includes creating virtual appliances for grid services, service deployment from a repository and influencing the service schedules by altering execution planning services, candidate set generators or information systems.

This research work is carried out under the FP6 Network of Excellence CoreGRID funded by the European Commission (Contract IST-2002-004265).
