A Service-Oriented Architecture enabling dynamic service grouping for optimizing distributed workflow execution

In this paper, we describe a Service-Oriented Architecture allowing the optimization of the execution of service workflows. We discuss the advantages of the serviceoriented approach with regards to the enactment of scientific applications on a grid infrastructure. Based on the development of a generic Web-Services wrapper, we show how the flexibility of our architecture enables dynamic service grouping for optimizing the application execution time. We demonstrate performance results on a real medical imaging application. On a production grid infrastructure, the
