CERN Computing Seminar
Service Oriented Architectures & Grid Computing
by
→
Europe/Zurich
500/1-001 - Main Auditorium (CERN)
Description
The benefits of Web services will catalyze a trend towards service-oriented architectures in which enterprises view their systems as an orchestrated Web of services that extend beyond their firewalls into the systems of their partners and customers. Service-oriented architectures require a new kind of distributed computing platform that provides features like clustering, load balancing and fail over in a way that is independent of the services themselves.
Service-oriented grid-computing platforms tackle this challenge by operating in a similar manner to the national electricity grid. Such platforms connect producers and consumers of services and data, while shielding them from details of the underlying infrastructure. This course discusses the technical challenges of implementing service-oriented grid computing platforms, with a focus on P2P architectures.
BIOGRAPHY
Graham Glass is the CEO of The Mind Electric. Prior to founding The Mind Electric, Graham was the CTO and co-founder of ObjectSpace, a Dallas-based company specializing in business-to-business integration. He received an Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the year award in 1996, as well as several industry awards for the development of the Voyager and JGL product lines while with ObjectSpace. Graham is the author of Prentice Hall's flagship book on web services titled "Web Services: Building Blocks for Distributed Systems". As a leader and visionary on the future of distributed computing, Graham has spoken at many industry conferences and trade shows. Graham earned his BSc in Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of Southampton, and his MS in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Dallas. In 1980, he was awarded the British Computing Society prize for the top computer science student in the South of England.
