Philosophy of Web Service Grids
• Much of Distributed Computing was built by natural
extensions of computing models developed for sequential
machines
• This leads to the distributed object (DO) model represented
by Java and CORBA
– RPC (Remote Procedure Call) or RMI (Remote Method
Invocation) for Java
• Key people think this is not a good idea as it scales badly
and ties distributed entities together too tightly
– Distributed Objects Replaced by Services
• Note CORBA was considered too complicated in both
organization and proposed infrastructure
– and Java was considered as “tightly coupled to Sun”
– So there were other reasons to discard
• Thus replace distributed objects by services connected by
“one-way” messages and not by request-response messages
Programs

service logic
BPEL, Java, .NET
Databases
SOAP and WSDL
• Web Services build
loosely-coupled,
distributed applications,
based on the SOA
principles.
• Web Services interact
by exchanging
messages in SOAP
format
• The contracts for the
message exchanges that
implement those
interactions are
described via WSDL
interfaces.

What is a Grid?
• You won’t find a clear description of what is Grid and how
does differ from a collection of Web Services
– I see no essential reason that Grid Services have different
requirements than Web Services
– Geoffrey Fox, David Walker, e-Science Gap Analysis, June 30
2003. Report UKeS-2003-01,
http://www.nesc.ac.uk/technical_papers/UKeS-2003-01/index.html.
– Notice “service-building model” is like programming language –
very personal!
• Grids were once defined as “Internet Scale Distributed
Computing” but this isn’t good as Grids depend as much if
not more on data as well as simulations
• So Grids can be termed “Internet Scale Distributed
Services” and represent a way of collecting services
together to solve problems where special features and
quality of service needed.
e-Infrastructure



e-Infrastructure builds on the inevitable increasing performance
of networks and computers linking them together to support new
flexible linkages between computers, data systems and people
• Grids and peer-to-peer networks are the technologies that
build e-Infrastructure
• e-Infrastructure called CyberInfrastructure in USA
We imagine a sea of conventional local or global connections
supported by the “ordinary Internet”
• Phones, web page accesses, plane trips, hallway conversations
• Conventional Internet technology manages billions of
broadcast or low (one client to Server) or broadcast links
On this we superimpose high value multi-way organizations
(linkages) supported by Grids with optimized resources and
system support
• Low multiplicity fully interactive real-time sessions
• Resources such as databases supporting (larger) communities
N plus N Community Resources


Grid Community databases have analogy to Television and the
News Web that allow individuals to communicate instantly with
each other via Web Pages and Headline News acting as proxies
N resources deposit information and N can view  Call N plus N
Large and Small Grids






N resources in a community (N is billions for the world and 100010000 for many scientific fields)
Communities are arranged hierarchically with real work being
done in “groups” of M resources – M could be 10-100 in e-Science
Metcalfe’s law: value of network grows like square of number of
nodes M – we call Grids where this true Metcalfe or M2 Grids
Nature of Interaction depends on size of M or N
• N plus N Shared Information Grids for largish N
• M2 Metcalfe Grids for smaller M < N
Technology support depends on M/N – might use a relatively
static DHT (Distributed Hash Table) for large N and a distributed
shared memory for small M
Grids must merge with peer-to-peer networks to support both N
plus N and M2 Systems
M2 Interactions
• Superimpose M way
“Grids” on the sea
(heatbath) of “2 by N”
or N plus N
“ordinary”
interactions
Grids also support
many community
N plus N resources
Implement Grids
as a software
overlay network
Information Complexity I

Consider a community of N resources with groups of size
M with each group complexity C
• N/M Groups

Information in systems varies from coherent
(harmonious) to incoherent limits
• Web and Grid data resources supply coherence as in curated
astronomy, bioinformatics, geophysics database
• Can consider N plus N Grids as Coherent or Harmonious
Grids


I = (NM)0.5 . (C/M) Incoherent to N . (C/M) Coherent
In this language Grids do one or both of
• Coherence/Harmony – common shared asynchronous
resources
• Interactivity – Increase complexity to M2 with real-time
linkage of interacting resources
Information Complexity II




N plus N Community database has I = N Coherent
• Improving on N0.5 incoherent case
Nearest Neighbor groups is I = (NM)0.5
• Becoming I = N in limit M = N
• M is correlation length in Complex Systems approach
M-ary Interactive group (M2 Metcalfe Grids) has C = M2
and
I = (NM3)0.5 Incoherent
to I = NM Coherent
• Coherent case most natural in science due to synergy
between Metcalfe and Coherence Grids
“Small World (logarithmic) networks” and hierarchical
group structure require more discussion
Architecture of (Web Service) Grids



Grids built from Web Services communicating through
an overlay network built in SOFTWARE on the
“ordinary internet” at the application level
Grids provide the special quality of service (security,
performance, fault-tolerance) and customized services
needed for “distributed complex enterprises”
We need to work with Web Service community as they
debate the 60 or so proposed Web Service specifications
•
•
•
•
Use Web Service Interoperability WS-I as “best practice”
Must add further specifications to support high performance
Database “Grid Services” for N plus N case
Streaming support for M2 case
Importance of SOAP
• SOAP defines a very obvious message structure
with a header and a body
• The header contains information used by the
“Internet operating system”
– Destination, Source, Routing, Context, Sequence
Number …
• The message body is only used by the application
and will never be looked at by “operating system”
except to encrypt, compress it etc.
• Much discussion in field revolves around what is in
header!
– e.g. WSRF adds a lot to header
Web Services
• Java is very powerful partly due to its many “frameworks” that
generalize libraries e.g.
– Java Media Framework
– Java Database Connectivity JDBC
• Web Services have a correspondingly collections of specifications
that represent critical features of the distributed operating systems
for “Grids of Simple Services”
– Some 60 active WS-* specifications for areas such as
– a.

WS-I Interoperability
• Critical underpinning of Grids and Web Services is the
gradually growing set of specifications in the Web Service
Interoperability Profiles
• Web Services Interoperability (WS-I) Interoperability
Profile 1.0a." http://www.ws-i.org. gives us XSD,
WSDL1.1, SOAP1.1, UDDI in basic profile and parts of
WS-Security in their first security profile.
• We imagine the “60 Specifications” being checked out and
evolved in the cauldron of the real world and occasionally
best practice identifies a new specification to be added to
WS-I which gradually increases in scope
– Note only 4.5 out of 60 specifications have “made it” in this
definition
Web Services Grids and WS-I+
• WS-I Interoperability doesn’t cover all the capabilities need to
support Grids
• WS-I+ is designed to minimal extension of WS-I to support
“most current” Grids: it adds support for
– Enhanced SOAP Addressing (WS-Addressing)
– Fault tolerant (reliable) messaging
– Workflow as in IBM-Microsoft standard BPEL
• Security and Notification best practice and support will probably
get added soon
– There are Web Service frameworks here but various IBM v Microsoft v
Globus differences to be resolved
• Portlet-based User Interfaces could be added
• UK OMII Open Middleware Infrastructure Institute is adopting
this approach to support UK e-Science program
– Currently UK e-Science largely either uses GT2 (as in EDG) or Simple
Web Services for “database Grids”

How SERVOGrid Fits In
• There is core Web Services – the “operating
system of the world” – controlled by WS-*
• There is workflow – programming the Grid
• There are very general Web Services and Grids
such as
– Database
– Collaboration
– Job Submittal
• There are some relatively general services and
Grids such as
– Visualization
– GIS
• There are application specific services such as
– Virtual California

Working up from the Bottom





We have the classic (CISCO, Juniper ….) Internet routing the
flood of ordinary packets in OSI stack architecture
Web Services build the “Service Internet” or IOI (Internet on
Internet) with
• Routing via WS-Addressing not IP header
• Fault Tolerance (WS-RM not TCP)
• Security (WS-Security/SecureConversation not IPSec/SSL)
• Information Services (UDDI/WS-Context not
DNS/Configuration files)
• At message/web service level and not packet/IP address level
Software-based Service Internet possible as computers “fast”
Familiar from Peer-to-peer networks and built as a software
overlay network defining Grid (analogy is VPN)
SOAP Header contains all information needed for the “Service
Internet” (Grid Operating System) with SOAP Body containing
information for Grid application service
Consequences of Rule of the Millisecond
• Useful to remember critical time scales
– 1) 0.000001 ms
– CPU does a calculation
– 2) 0.001 to 0.01 ms – MPI latency
– 3) 1 to 10 ms
– wake-up a thread or process
– 4) 10 to 1000 ms – Internet delay
• 4) implies geographically distributed metacomputing can’t in general
compete with parallel systems (OK for some cases)
• 3) << 4) implies RPC not a critical programming abstraction as it ties
distributed entities together and gains a time that is typically only 1%
of inevitable network delay
– However many service interactions are at their heart RPC but
implemented differently at times e.g. asynchronously
• 2) says MPI is not relevant for a distributed environment as low
latency cannot be exploited
• Even more serious than using RMI/RPC, current Object paradigms
also lead to mixed up services with unclear boundaries and autonomy
• Web Services are only interesting model for services today

Service A
What is a Simple Service?
• Take any system – it has multiple functionalities
– We can implement each functionality as an independent distributed
service
– Or we can bundle multiple functionalities in a single service
• Whether functionality is an independent service or one of many
method calls into a “glob of software”, we can always make them as
Web services by converting interface to WSDL
• Simple services are gotten by taking functionalities and making as
small as possible subject to “rule of millisecond”
– Distributed services incur messaging overhead of one (local) to
100’s (far apart) of milliseconds to use message rather than method
call
– Use scripting or compiled integration of functionalities ONLY
when require <1 millisecond interaction latency
• Apache web site has many projects that are multiple functionalities
presented as (Java) globs and NOT (Java) Simple Services
– Makes it hard to integrate sharing common security, user profile,
file access .. services

IOI and CIE
• Let us study the two layers IOI (Service Internet On the Bit Internet)
and CIE (Context and Information Environment)
• IOI is most “straightforward” as it is providing reasonably well
understood capabilities at a new “level”
• CIE is roughly the inter-service “shared memory” used to manage and
control them at “distributed operating system level
– Critical is “shared” (a database service) versus message based CIE

Fast Web Service Communication II
• Mechanism only works for streams – sets of related
messages
• SOAP header in streams is constant except for
sequence number (Message ID), time-stamp ..
• One needs two types of new Web Service
Specification
• “WS-StreamNegotiation” to define how one can use
WS-Policy to send messages at start of a stream to
define the methodology for treating remaining
messages in stream
• “WS-FlexibleRepresentation” to define new
encodings of messages
Fast Web Service Communication III
• Then use “WS-StreamNegotiation” to negotiate stream in
Tortoise SOAP – ASCII XML over HTTP and TCP –
– Deposit basic SOAP header through connection – it is part of
context for stream (linking of 2 services)
– Agree on firewall penetration, reliability mechanism, binary
representation and fast transport protocol
– Naturally transport UDP plus WS-RM
• Use “WS-FlexibleRepresentation” to define encoding of a Fast
transport (On a different port) with messages just having
“FlexibleRepresentationContextToken”, Sequence Number,
Time stamp if needed
– RTP packets have essentially this structure
– Could add stream termination status
• Can monitor and control with original negotiation stream
• Can generate different streams optimized for different end-points
CIE: Common Service Information and Metadata
• Consider a collection of services working together
– Workflow tells you how to specify service interaction but more
basically there is shared information or context
specifying/controlling collection
• WS-RF and WS-GAF have different approaches to contextualization –
supplying a common “context” which at its simplest is a token to
represent state
• More generally core shared information includes dynamic service
metadata and the equivalent of configuration information.
• One can supports such a common context either as pool of messages
or as message-based access to a “database” (Context Service)
• Two services linked by a stream are perhaps simplest example of a
collection of services needing context
• Note that there is a tension between storing metadata in messages and
services.
– This is shared versus distributed memory debate in parallel
computing
