Abstract

The major objective of the Service Oriented Computing Environment (SORCER) is to form dynamic federations of network services that provide for concurrent engineering systems: shared data, applications, tools, and utilities on a service grid along with exertion-oriented programming. To meet the requirements of these services in terms of design data sharing and managing in the form of data files, a corresponding federated file system was developed. The file system fits the SORCER philosophy of interactive exertion-oriented programming for distributed collaborative applications, where users create service-oriented programs and can access data files in the same way they use their local file system. However, there was no efficient management of file explicit versions during complex design in related concurrent engineering systems. Thus, a separate Version Control Management Framework was developed to fit with the SORCER metacomputing philosophy and to manage effectively versions of all files in a uniform way.

M. Sobolewski and A. Ghosh are members of SORCER Research Group (SORCERsoft.org).
