GCM: Grid Component ModelGCM Being defined in the NoE CoreGRID (42 institutions)Open Source ObjectWeb ProActive implements a preliminary version of GCMService Oriented: NESSI relation

GridCOMP takes:GCM as a first specification, ProActive as a starting point, and Open Source reference implementation.
The vision: GCM to be the GRID GSM


Overview of Project

Interoperability Objectives:Interoperability with other standards: EGEE gLite, UNICORE, NorduGrid, Globus, Web Services, LSF, IBM LL, SGE, CGSP China Grid, etc.,A GCM ETSI Official Public Standard
Objectives:

GRID PROGRAMMING WITH COMPONENTS: AN ADVANCED COMPONENT PLATFORM FOR AN EFFECTIVE INVISIBLE GRID

WP 3: Non Functional Component Features


WP3 - Non Functional Component Features
A framework for autonomic management of componentsDesign of the manager structureDefinition of proper implementation mechanismsCharacterisation of properties handled through autonomic managers

Preliminary experiments on parallel component compositionsAutonomic management of simple performance contracts Assessment of the autonomic framework features

Layered design of non functional component featuresIdentify proper mechanisms to handle dynamic adaptation of componentsDefine local strategies to achieve contractually specified QoS goalsDefine orchestration strategies preserving local to global effectInteraction with use cases to assess/improve NF framework



WP 4: Grid IDE for Programmers and Composers


WP4 - Grid IDE for Programmers and Composers
Provides an integrated programming and composing GUIOffers facilities to bind both normal code and legacy code into primitive componentsEnables assembly of Grid applications Provides launcher tools for the deployment of a component applicationOffers a steering tool for installing, removing, and re-installing new versions of component codeProvides a tool for the monitoring of resources


Component GUI under Dev. at Westminster Univ.



WP 5: Use cases


WP5 Use cases
Three main partners: IBM, Atos Origin, GridSystemsFour use cases:Biometric Identification System (IBM)Identify people solely on their biometric information (1:N match)Management Application Computing of DSO value (ATOS)Days Sales Outstanding is the mean time that clients delay to pay an invoice to an companyTelecom EDR Processor (GS)Aerospace Wing Design (GS)computes the aerodynamic wing performance for a given configuration, using a legacy fortran-77 app



Standardization


GCM Standardization
One of the Outcomes of the Technical Committee on Grid Computing

Overall, the standardization is supported by industrials: BT, FT-Orange, Nokia-Siemens, Telefonica,NEC, Alcatel-Lucent, Huawei

GridCOMP / GCM ProActive Exploitation
Used in Production by CompaniesE.g. Amadeus (Air France, Lufthansa)Already 4 on going thesis at INRIA:Component reconfiguration (Marcela Rivera), GCM extensions for autonomic applications (Paul Naoumenko), Specification Languages and Model-Checking (Antonio Cansado)Autonomic Service Management of Enterprise Grid Services (Cristian Ruz)Use in other projects: EU SOA4ALL, EU QosCosGrid, Prospect: RESERVOIR INRIA ADT Galaxy, Pole Comp. AGOS (HP, Oracle)


GridCOMP and SOA

Components: The binding is achieved at deployment, statically. Services: a new binding can occur at each invocation, depending of SLA, conditions, etc. What we aim at in GridCOMP:A Cp system with dynamic reconfiguration including new bindingsDynamic Dispatch Multicast, Autonomicity, Reconfiguration

Other relations to SOA:Component Exportation as Web Services (Server Interface), and Component Connection to Web Services (Client Interface) Future compliance with SCA standard: Service Component Architecture
