| Abstract | Recent works have proposed a number of models and tools to address the growing needs and
expectations in the field of e-Science. At the same time, the availability and models of use of
networked computing resources needed by e-Science are rapidly changing and see the
coexistence of many disparate paradigms: high performance computing, grid and recently cloud,
which brings very promising expectations due to its high flexibility. In this paper we suggest a
model to promote the convergence and the integration of different computing paradigms and
infrastructures for the dynamic on-demand provisioning of the resources needed by e-Science
environments, leveraging the Service-Oriented Architecture model. In addition, its design aims
at endorsing a flexible, modular, workflow-based collaborative environment for e-Science. A
working implementation used to validate the proposed approach is described together with some
performance tests. |
