A Flexible Grid Computation Platform Based on WSRF.NET and Condor

The Web service resource framework (WSRF) announced in January 2004 is a new mechanism to express how web services interact with the stateful resources, and it has achieved the fusion of Web services and grid services. For the grid application development, WSRF.NET is much easier than Globus Toolkit 4 and it is based on Windows. As WSRF.NET doesn't provide an available scheduler, we introduce Condor as its high-level scheduler. This paper describes a grid computation platform based on WSRF.NET and Condor. It shows how to introduce Condor into WSRF.NET, form a flexible grid computation platform and how to apply the platform.
