19 Jul 2005 Management through Web services simplifies the numerous interfaces and solutions that provide management tools for network-attached systems and devices. These range from simple printers to more complex operating system management issues. The Web Services Distributed Management (WSDM) standard defines two different environments, Management Using Web Services (MUWS) and Management of Web Services (MOWS), that define the structure and environment required to support these systems. This tutorial looks in detail at the definition and implementation issues of WSDM and how you can use WSDM within grid environments for the management of grids and grid services.
In this tutorial
- WSDM overview
- WSDM Management Using Web Services (MUWS)
- WSDM Management of Web Services (MOWS)
- WSDM events
- WSDM in grids
Prerequisites
You will not need any specific tools to understand the majority of the content of this tutorial. However, some of the examples do require understanding of the OASIS standards and Web services mechanics such as WS-Addressing, WS-ResourceFramework, and WS-Notification. To be successful with this tutorial, you should understand XML, XML Schemas, and the Web Services Description Language (WSDL). You will also benefit from having knowledge of the Web Services Resource Framework (WSRF) standard that is used during the definition of resources and capabilities of WSDM resources. You might find the Emerging Technologies Toolkit (ETTK) useful. It contains some examples and utilities that demonstrate some of the WSDM principles.
