Abstract
Generic Grid middleware, e.g., Globus Toolkit 4 (GT4), provides basic services for scientific workflow management systems to discover, store and integrate workflow components. Using the state of the art Grid services can advance the functionality of workflow engine in orchestrating distributed Grid resources. In this paper, we present our work on migrating VLAM-G, a Grid workflow engine based on GT2 to GT4. We discuss how we use the rich set of services provided by GT4 in the new design to realize the user interactivity, interoperability and monitoring. The experiment results show that use cases from previous systems can be migrated seamlessly into the new architecture.
