New OGF document published in the Information track: GFD-I.122 Title: Grid Network Services Use Cases from the e-Science Community Authors/editors: Tiziana Ferrari Abstract: Network services are specialized in the handling of network-related or network-resident resources. A network service is further labeled as a Grid network service whenever it has roles and/or interfaces that are deemed to be specific to a Grid infrastructure. We provide a high-level, structured description of some well-understood Grid network services use cases. The purpose is to facilitate the identification of network services critical to the Grid middleware and user applications in e-science, and to identify relationships.
