Abstract

Web Service Resource Framework (WSRF) is a recent effort of the grid community to facilitate modeling of the stateful services. Semantic Web Services initiative is proposing a standard called OWL-S to help the automated discovery, composition and invocation of the services. This article describes a broker based architecture, which tries to combine WSRF and OWL-S in a way to enable automated discovery and invocation of the stateful services. Analysis of the requirements are provided and an application scenario is described, which has been used to evaluate the architecture.

The research reported in this paper has been partially financed by the EU in the project IST-2004-511385 K-Wf Grid and Slovak national projects, VEGA No. 2/3132/23: Effective tools and mechanisms for scalable virtual organizations and Tools for acquisition, organization and maintenance of knowledge in an environment of heterogeneous information resources 2004-2007 SPVV 1025/04.
