Mobility Component The Mobility Layer handles task spawning and migration for a made contract. This layer can be any SOAP exposed grid architecture such as Globus, ADK, etc. Buyer Functions: A buyer looking to execute its task on the ocean network writes the application for a compatible grid architecture. The mobility layer then contacts the negotiation layer with a request for a contract. When the contract make, the mobility layer receives the location where the task may migrate to and execute. Seller Functions: When a seller receives a job the mobility layer contacts the negotiation component with a request for a contract. Then it proceeds to execute the task for the buyer based on the contract restrictions. Development Areas: Creating Mobility Layers for existing grid architectures: Providing the glue necessary to connect Globus, ADK, etc to Ocean via SOAP Creating new Grid Architectures: Creating grid architectures for newer platforms such as .NET
