Abstract

Web services are an increasingly viable paradigm for agent-based systems. This paper discusses the advantages of using grid services, an extension to web services that supports robust distributed computation. Our discussion is based on an implementation of information agents using the Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA), an emerging standard for grid computing that is available in the newer version of the widely used Globus toolkit.
