Abstract
In this paper, a new type of optimization problem solving systems based on the Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA) is proposed. The OGSA can define the Grid service aligned with Web service technologies. In the proposed system, the service data and notification function are used to integrate services. An end-user who wants to construct an optimization system decides how to integrate the services for optimization and analysis. The proposed system also uses the Grid Security Infrastracture (GSI), Index Service and Reliable File Transfer (RFT) Service to improve reliability and convenience. Therefore, the proposed system is expected to be an efficient optimization problem solving system on the Grid.
