inter-ws

Examining current popular middleware, we observe a transition to Web Services, also including the submission of jobs. When the Globus Toolkit finally switched from version 2 to version 4, the proprietary, pre-Web Service protocol (pre-WS GRAM) was replaced by a protocol using Web Service interfaces (WS GRAM). Unicore was refined in the same way: The pre-Web Services version of this middleware was modified so that now version 6 uses Web Services. In order to keep up with this development, it is necessary to examine how to support interactivity in the Web Services environment.
