Provisioning for Dynamic Instantiation of Community Services
Qi Li, Hai Jin, Ian T Foster, Jarek Gawor · IEEE Internet Computing · 2008
On-demand provisioning can allow collaborative communities to rapidly deploy the services required to support collaboration, without the need to acquire and operate dedicated hardware. To meet community needs for on- demand access while also maximizing global availability and runtime efficiency, the authors propose service-, container-, node-, and VO-level provisioning approaches based on a highly available dynamic deployment infrastructure. Their experiments with an image-processing application demonstrate their approach's efficiency and effectiveness.
