Adopting GLUE 2.0 for an Interoperable Grid Monitoring System

Abstract

Interoperability is an important issue, especially in Grid infrastructures that use multiple, inhomogeneous Grid middlewares. Monitoring such heterogeneous scenarios requires interoperability of different information services. The approach taken bases on an integration proxy together with a standardized information model. This proxy functions as a bridge between the information models used in different Grid information services by using GLUE 2.0 as the homogeneous common model. This paper outlines the chosen architecture and details the experiences gained with the GLUE 2.0 schema.
