Abstract
The information service is a vital part of any Grid software platform, providing the fundamental mechanism for discovering and monitoring services and resources in a Grid. This paper presents an effective information service architecture developed for ChinaGrid Support Platform (CGSP). The architecture is based on domains in CGSP, which are autonomous grid systems. The key issues are to collect information of diverse resources within a domain dynamically, and to share these collected data across domains effectively and securely by providing a unique interface based on a delegation method and an index aggregation mechanism.
