Abstract

At the heart of the Grid technology is the concept of resource sharing, which includes computers, storage and networks. Grid currently appears to be the most suitable technology to support this type of future development. Web Services are the key technology in Grid infrastructure. This chapter presents a case study of a Web Services design and implementation to allow medical data in differing formats to be stored in a standardised form and to expose algorithms from existing applications that manipulate these data sets as online service objects. The aim is to explain the key concerns in service design and development using a real-world application as a case study. By reading this chapter, the reader should gain an overall understanding of how a service-oriented Grid application can be designed and implemented.
