Abstract:
Manufacturing Grid (MG) is a cooperation platform and resource sharing system among manufacturing enterprises. To be shared in MG, the manufacturing resources should be virtualized and exposed as web services. The paper presents a WSRF-based approach to virtualize resources conveniently in MG including many resource encapsulation templates and a resource container. The design principle, the implementation of the resource encapsulate template and the resource container are described in detail, where the resource container is a WSRF service deployed in GT java core and can expose resources as WS-Resource. Through these tools, resource providers can encapsulate their resources with the encapsulation template and deploy them in the resource container, then the resource will be virtualized and exposed as web service and can be shared in grid. A prototype platform to demonstrate the validity of the method is introduced at last.
