On building a service-oriented architecture for grid systems, more and more research is focused on service composition, in which workflow and simulation techniques have shown great potential. Simulation of services' interaction is important since the services ecosystem is unstable and in continuous evolution. However, there is a lack in the research of services' simulation, especially models and methods for simulating interactions between composite services. In this paper a workflow simulation method based on interactive events is proposed to fulfil this requirement. By introducing an event submodel in the workflow meta-model, the event interaction pattern is achieved from both the build-time and run-time perspectives. With an example simulated in the prototype system developed according to our method, the advantages of our method in model verification and QoS evaluation for service composition are also highlighted","PeriodicalId":280249,"journal":{"name":"2006 Fifth International Conference on Grid and Cooperative Computing (GCC'06)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128879744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MIP undertakes the challenge of mapping information from a large number of sources to information services with minimal human intervention. MIP addresses such mappings using a modular approach to achieve interoperability among grid environments. MIP can be customized in a straightforward way to a specific Grid environment or information schema. Current MIP implementation is based on Globus MDS4 and the XML version of GLUE Schema 1.2. The design of MIP aims to address the shortcomings that exist in current grid information providers (e. g., the generic information provider) as well as to support Web service-based GIS. Our modular approach has been developed to ease maintenance and management of grid information systems by automatically aggregating information sources and providing appropriate pieces of information to GIS based on predefined information schemas. Upon installation, MIP is configured to set up only necessary modules, which minimizes memory usage","PeriodicalId":280249,"journal":{"name":"2006 Fifth International Conference on Grid and Cooperative Computing (GCC'06)","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123463111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Choosing a flooding or a DHT subjects to the population of desired data. However, existing studies summarizes the popularity only based on local information, or does not take into account the dynamic factor of P2P systems. Thus, the users suffer from long search latency when performing hybrid search due to inaccurate estimations of the resource popularity. In this paper, we propose a popularity biased hybrid search method in systems. Our model allows the P2P systems dynamically detect the content popularity, and accurately make a decision of search methods. In this way, our work effectively reduces the query traffic cost and response time.
