Abstract
Increasingly complex environmental problems and the growth in accessible eospatial data in interoperable formats is leading to the investigation of Grid processing as a potential tool for advanced geo-processing within a standards-based environment. The OGC Web Processing Service (WPS) is an open standardised interface for geo-processing, compatible with technologies being adopted by spatial data infrastructures. We investigate the integration of Grid computing capability within a WPS. Our approach is based on the use of the Job Submission Description Language (JSDL) being developed by the Grid community as a standardised description of computational jobs to be executed on heterogeneous Grid platforms. We develop a mechanism to integrate JSDL resource requirement descriptors within a standard WPS request, and show how process execution and status querying may be proxied to a Grid environment through the WPS interface. A proof-of-concept implementation is developed using an atmospheric particle tracing application and the UK National Grid Service.
