Eco Grid Registry Design

Difference between version 4 and version 3:

Line 3 was replaced by line 3
- EcoGrid needs to provide a registry of the services available and some brief metadata about each of those services. This registry will be used to locate the services and pick and choose among alternative incarnations of services when they exist. Services include core EcoGrid interfaces such as the query, authentication, and put interfaces, as well as custom services for computational tasks.

Services include core EcoGrid interfaces such as the query, authentication, and put interfaces, as well as custom services for computational tasks. Initial design of the registry was done in Seattle (see the [notes|http://cvs.ecoinformatics.org/cvs/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~//seek/projects/ecogrid/docs/meeting-notes/ecogrid-mtg-notes-20030923.txt?rev=1.1&content-type=text/plain] and the [diagram|http://cvs.ecoinformatics.org/cvs/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~//seek/projects/ecogrid/docs/meeting-notes/Ecogrid-23Sep2003.png?rev=1.1&content-type=image/png]).
At line 27 added 6 lines.
+ !! Distributed registry services
+ We've discussed that one single, centralized point for the registry is not adequate, and instead we needed a registry that is distributed across several hosts on the internet. When a new registry comes online, it would announce its presence by registering with one of the existing registries. Existing registries would take registration events and send them to all of the other know registries. The [diagram|http://cvs.ecoinformatics.org/cvs/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~//seek/projects/ecogrid/docs/meeting-notes/Ecogrid-23Sep2003.png?rev=1.1&content-type=image/png] in our Seattle meeting notes describes this at least schematically.

+ !! Registry prototype
+ An inital registry prototype has been developed and currently can be viewed here: [http://kuecogrid.ittc.ku.edu:8080/ogsa/registry.jsp]. It is not complete.
