Abstract

Service grids and desktop grids are both promoted by their supportive communities
as great solutions for solving the available compute power problem and
helping to balance loads across network systems. Little work, however, has been
undertaken to blend these two technologies together. In this paper we introduce
a new EU project, that is building technological bridges to facilitate service and
desktop grid interoperability. We provide a taxonomy and background into service
grids, such as EGEE and desktop grids or volunteer computing platforms,
such as BOINC and XtremWeb. We then describe our approach for identifying
translation technologies between service and desktop grids. The individual
themes discuss the actual bridging technologies employed and the distributed
data issues surrounding deployment.
