Packaging and Generating Mechanism of Image Processing Services on Heterogeneous Grid Platforms.

It is a difficult issue to support interactive image processing software in grid environment, which requires special mapping methods over grid architecture. Interactive service packaging, mapping of interactive interface mechanism are reviewed in heterogeneous grid architecture. Grid Service Automated Packaging and Generating System (GS-APGS) for image processing software is designed to provide grid service packaging and generating tools to create friendly human-machine interfaces. It includes interactive operation-message mapping in packaging, service-message mapping feedback control in grid service generation, and preservation and restoration of continuous interactive state in overall mapping. Experiments show that GA-APGS can reduce more than 50% time on service packaging and deployment than terminal command-line mode. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
