Abstract
Lately, grid research has focused its attention on interoperability and standards, such as Grid Services, in order to facilitate resource virtualization, and to accommodate the intrinsic heterogeneity of resources in distributed environments. To ensure interoperability with other grid solutions, it is important that new and emerging metacomputing frameworks conform to these standards. In particular, the H2O system offers several benefits, including lightweight operation, user-configurability, and selectable security levels; with OGSA compliance, its applicability would be enhanced even further In this contribution, a framework is presented which will augment the H2O-system with the functionality to produce and publish WSDL and GSDL documents for arbitrary third party pluglets, and thereby enhance OGSA compatibility.
