Design Overview
|
 
|
The OCEAN is composed of OCEAN nodes. Each node can act as a buyer or seller
or both. The primary components of OCEAN can be divided into two parts:
Market components and Transport components. The market components, matching,
negotiation and accounting provide the market framework for
resource sharing. The transport components included mobility, security
and communication. These components provide features for transporting
messages and jobs securely. Note that, OCEAN is interoperable with
existing grid infrastructure like Globus. OCEAN provides a market-oriented
framework that can be used to enhance the services provided by various
grid middleware. Following figure shows the ocean architecture.
The applications make use of OCEAN market services, which in turn use transport
services. The transport services are implemented using existing run time
platforms and specific language environments. You can review the details of
each component by selecting them from the menu from the left.
