Abstract:

A web service wrapping approach for command line programs, which are commonly used in scientific computing, is proposed.First, software architecture for a basic web service wrapper implementation is given and the functions of the main components are explained.Then after a comprehensive analysis of data transmission and a job life cycle model, a novel proactive file transmission and job management mechanism is devised to enhance the software architecture, and the command line programs are wrapped into web services in such a way that they can efficiently transmit files, supply instant status feedback and automatically manage the jobs.Experiments show that the proposed approach achieves higher performance with less memory usage compared to the related work, and the usability is also improved.This work has already been put into use in a production system of scientific computing and the data processing efficiency of the system is greatly improved.
