Collaboration Network Organization Grid-Cloud Convergence Architecture (CNOGCA): Based on Open Grid Services Architecture

Unfortunately, the Grid Computing doesn't support the business collaboration needs, due to many issues, e.g. the lack of standards for the Grid services. Although, the Grid infrastructure faces big challenges in interoperability, the Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA) has been developed for the Grid applications. We believe that the cloud environment can be converged with the Grid environment, where the cloud might possibly act as on-demand hosting, while the grid might act as a federation as a service. Till now, there is no clear roadmap for building Dynamic Virtual Organization based on Grid/Cloud environment. According to the work of this paper, a Collaboration Network Organization (CNO) Grid-Cloud Convergence Architecture (CNOGCA) based on OGSA has been proposed. Also, a roadmap to design CNO architecture based on Grid-Cloud convergence, and other paradigms in an incremental and harmonious fashion have been defined. The OGSA frameworks as well as it extends and integrate with the recent work Federated CNO Model (FCNOM) have been utilized. In addition, the essential features that must be considered in order to design CNO architecture based on Grid-Cloud convergence, as well as, the description of the landscape structure for harmonious fashion have been determined.
