Abstract

As Grid technology evolves, the ability to carry out processing on remote resources owned by different organizations becomes more feasible. We present an architecture, based on a set of Web services that allows remote execution of software services on an early prototype of commercial pay-peruse utility computing resources. The architecture and the services we have developed manage the complete execution pipeline including brokering, deployment execution and payment
