The OGSA Platform Components
The job of the OGSA is to build on the grid service specification (Open Grid Service
Infrastructure, or OGSI) to define architectures and standards for a set of "core grid
services" that are essential components to every grid. We are assuming that these coregrid
service components must be present in every OGSA-based interoperable GridComputing
framework for the best quality of control features. the basic OGSA architectural
organization can be classified into five layers:

native platform services and transport mechanisms
OGSA hosting environment
OGSA transport and security
OGSA infrastructure (OGSI)
OGSA basic services (meta-OS and domain services)
The above defined OGSA layers form the foundation for new high-level management
applications and middleware Grid solutions and new class of Grid applications.
Native Platform Services and Transport Mechanisms
The native platforms form the concrete resource-hosting environment. These platform scan
be host resources specific to operating systems or hardware components, and then ative
resource managers manage them. The transport mechanisms use existing networking
services transport protocols and standards.
OGSA Hosting Environment
We will cover in subsequent chapters exactly how the standard interface definitions
defined by the grid service specification allows for two services/resources interoperating
together. These definitions do not, however, address the portability of services
implementations. Portability across hosting environments still needs to be addressed by
both grid communities and other hosting environments, including J2EE or .NET. These
communities are working together on this, and solutions will be forthcoming over the next
relatively short period of time.
ore Networking Services Transport and Security
An OGSA standard does not define the specific networking services transport, nor the
security mechanisms in the specification. Instead, it assumes use of the platform-specific
transport and security at the runtime instance of operation. In other words, these properties
are defined as service binding properties, and they are dynamically bound to the native
networking services transport and security systems at runtime.
OGSA Infrastructure
The grid service specification developed within the OGSI working group has defined the
essential building block for distributed systems. This specification provides a common set
of behaviors and interfaces to discover a service, create service instance, service lifecycle
management, and subscribe to and deliver respective notifications.
OGSA Basic Services
Some of the most notable and interesting basic services are as follows:
Common Management Model (CMM)
Service domains
Distributed data access and replication
Policy
Security
Provisioning and resource management
Accounting/metering
Common distributed logging
Monitoring
Scheduling
