Abstract
This paper discusses how to adapt Jini to create an OGSA-compliant system for Grid computing by introducing Web services techniques into the Jini system. Service Workflow Language (SWFL), an extension to WSFL for describing jobs composed of interacting Web services, is presented. SWFL provides a simple and succinct way of describing the conditional and loop constructs of Java, and supports more general data mappings than WSFL. In addition, a tool for automatically generating Java code to execute a composite job described in SWFL is described.
