Open Source Job Submission Portal for Grid

Open Source Job Submission Portal (OSJSP) is for uniform access to Grid resources for the benefit of grid community. Users can submit jobs to Grid through the web-based Graphical User Interface. The ultimate aim of OSJSP is to provide portlet based portal for the researchers, students and academia to take care of their job and resource management issues in an efficient way. This portal adheres to basic grid system architecture by integrating gridsphere portal framework, Globus toolkit (Grid middleware), Gridway meta-scheduler and ingeniously developed portlets. These portlets are developed as per JSR 168 standard. OSJSP supports user authentication, authorization and job submission using x509 credentials. In this paper, we describe the importance of OSJSP, its implementation, features along with a related work.
