Impact of service overhead on service-oriented Grid architectures

• Grid computing applications and infrastructures build heavily on Service-Oriented Computing development methodology and are often realized as Service-Oriented Ar- chitectures. Current Service-Oriented Architecture methodology renders service components as Web Services, and suffers per- formance limitations from Web Service overhead. The Grid Job Management Framework (GJMF) is a flexible Grid in- frastructure and application support component realized as a loosely coupled network of Web Services that offers a range of abstractive and platform independent interfaces for middleware- agnostic Grid job submission, monitoring, and control. In this paper we a present a performance evaluation aimed to characterize the impact of service overhead on Grid Service- Oriented Architectures and evaluate the efficiency of the GJMF architecture and optimization mechanisms designed to mediate impact of Web Service overhead on architecture performance.
