Foil 78 Proposed Java Computing Services Framework

From Java Grande: Role of Java in Large Scale Computations NPACI Summer Institute on Parallel Computing -- August 21 98. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 Enables development of Web Interfaces to run a given job on any computer compliant with this framework just as JDBC gives a universal interface to any relational database
  • I.e. enables seamless computing
2 The Computing Services Framework allows vendors to compete on either User Front End (GUI) or back end services with the JavaCS framework providing universal linkage
3 The framework is implemented at the backend as a set of drivers which map generic Java Interfaces to particular software (e.g. a compiler) on particular machines.
4 Requires agreement by "suitable interested parties" on
  • what are the services
  • what are the interfaces for a given service
  • As with JDBC and Oracle's PL/SQL can lead to difficult choices!
