The report
contains information about the problems of interoperability and interoperation
of grid-infrastructures, that use different middlewares,
and about different approaches to overcome these problems. Both developed and
developing (for example, unified grid interoperability standards) approaches
are considered. The world’s experience in this area is evaluated, the most
notable projects are considered, the architecture and pecularities
of grid and other software used in these projects are presented. The information
about universal software, providing grid-interoperability (portals, resource
brokers, meta-schedulers), their architecture, pecularities, ways to use is provided. Some material is
dedicated to NAS of Ukraine’s work and research in solving the problems of
interoperability and interoperation of grid-infrastructures, including the
information about using third-party software, as well as developing new
software for this purpose.
