Towards evolving Web sites into grid services environment

Grid services are emerged by integrating grid computing and Web services to perform a seamless information processing system across distributed, heterogeneous, dynamic virtual organisations that the user can access from any location. The Web Service Resource Framework (WSRF) was announced as a new way for manipulating "stateful resources" to perform grid services. It defines the concept of "stateful resources" and how they can be discovered, queried and manipulated via Web services. In this paper, we proposed a grid services-oriented reengineering approach to create stateful resources from conventional HTML Web sites, which applies hierarchical cluster and wrapper techniques to extract and translate Web sites resources. It supports services identification and packaging and archives Web site evolution into grid services environment by exploiting WRSF.
