Standards » Applications Area » GridRPC WG

This Working Group will produce an OGF Recommendation for a grid-enabled, remote procedure call (RPC) mechanism. The first document entitled A GridRPC Model and API for End-User Applications has been completed and published as GFD-R.52. Currently we are concentrating on the second recommendation document, which defines GridRPC API for middleware developers that extends the model and GridRPC API for end-users, and also focuses on data management mechanism within the GridRPC model. The GridRPC middleware tools developed will further lower the barrier to acceptance for grid use by hiding the tremendous amount of infrastructure necessary to make grids work, while providing even higher-level abstractions for domain-specific middleware.
