Abstract

This collaborative proposal describes development work on the software system known as the Globus Toolkit spanning a 5-year period. This development work, labeled as" Community Driven Improvement of Globus Software", or CDIGS, promises generally to respond to the needs of the scientific user community in adding enhanced functionality and performance to an existing and well-used software base exceeding 2.5 million lines of code. The proposal guides the reader first through a primer on the Globus user community and the Globus technology and components. The detailed project plan focuses on the first 24 months and cites specific work in the areas of security, data management, execution management, information services, and common runtime. Their methodology on software engineering practices describes how they plan to develop, integrate, and make available new capabilities across major GT …
