Abstract
General frameworks for distributed computing are slowly evolving out of Grid,
Peer Architecture, and Web Services. The following results from a summer long survey
into distributing computing practices have revealed three things. One, that Legion and
Cactus-G have achieved the most in terms of providing an all-purpose application
environment. Two, that extending a local programming environment to operate in a
highly distributed fashion can be facilitated with toolkits like Globus. Three, that
building a new system from the ground up could be realized, in part, by using some of the
following components; an Object Oriented Database, Tapestry, JXTA, BOINC, Globus,
component architecture technology, XML and related libraries, Condor-G, Proteus, and
ParMETIS.
Introduction
This paper offers the results obtained after conducting a broad survey of
computer systems. The objective of this research was to locate systems that could
potentially contribute to the development of MObIUS, a general, distributed, Object-
Oriented, framework. In contrast to current implementations of Web Services, Peer-to-
Peer and computational Grid middleware, this system should be able to efficiently handle
a wide variety of applications and adapt to a dynamic environment. Many systems were
evaluated over the summer. Those showing the most promise are featured here. The
requirements that were used as a means of measurement and evaluation throughout this
study are discussed on the page that follows.
