Some Observations on Gateway
Note Gateway supports application area (i.e. CTA’s or other natural units) -- not just applications
Initial investigation from ASC suggests current CCM approach will generalize to other CTA’s
Can in principle support Palmtop, PC, Workstation, CAVE front-ends
Gateway does not define grid services but builds on them to provide Problem Solving Environments
- Object definitions in Gateway complement those in Globus
Linkage of Gateway to Legion needs more study
Applications should be defining XML data structures and “wrapping” existing applications as objects “anyway”
