Abstract
Because of the nature of the Grid, Grid application systems built on traditional software development techniques can only interoperate with Grid services in an ad hoc manner that requires substantial human intervention. In this paper, we introduce Vega, a pure service-oriented Grid workflow system which consists of a set of loosely coupled services co-operating each other to solve problems. In Vega, the execution flow of its services is isolated from their interactions and these interactions are explicitly modelled and can be dynamically interpreted at run-time.
