gRavix service composition UI prototype

I just posted about the seeding of the gRavix gsoc svn repository, and thought I could follow up with a quick note on what this is built to accomplish in the long run, as well as give everyone a screenshot of what it looks like.

The idea is very simple - discover services which have already been deployed and use their different operations in order to compose a new, more complex workflow service. A simple idea, with potentially powerful outcomes.


What you see here is a filetree on the left which would be populated with both local (user owned) services and discovered (cloud) services, which can be dragged and dropped onto a new service in order to create a workflow.

Comments, suggestions and ideas are most welcome! And if you want help with getting it working, check out my previous post or just shoot me an email (narcvs@gmail.com).

SVN repo seeded with gRavix

I have seeded the Globus svn repository for the gsoc projects with a gravix repository. It is currently empty, but a first prototype should be in the "prototype" directory before the day ends.

Check out development at any point at http://svn.globus.org/repos/gsoc/gravix/.

It should be pretty straight forward to get it running by just pointing your browser to the index file, but more specific instructions will come up soon enough as well.

Update: Get a look at the first service composition UI prototype with:

svn co http://svn.globus.org/repos/gsoc/gravix/prototypes/gravix-proto-graph-1.0/

Then point your browser to gravix-proto-graph-1.0/index.html.
