WSRF::Lite is an implementation of the Web Service Resource Framework (WSRF, http://www.globus.org/wsrf/) in Perl. It supersedes OGSI::Lite, the Perl implementation of the Open Grid Service Infrastructure (OGSI, https://forge.gridforum.org/projects/ogsi-wg). Perl is a powerful tool for developing Web services and Web service clients. WSRF::Lite illustrates this by providing a relatively simple environment for developing WS-Resources. The seminar will discuss WSRF, building Web services in Perl and using WSRF::Lite.

About the speaker:

Mark obtained his PhD in Atomic Physics from Queen's University of Belfast. He first became acquainted with grid computing through the Legion Project while working as Research Support Consultant at the University of Virginia in 1999. He later joined the University of Manchester, where he developed OGSI::Lite while working for the UK Grid Support Centre. He released the world's first publicly available implementation of WSRF in February 2004, within weeks of the announcement of WSRF. He is currently continuing the development of WSRF::Lite through the Managed Programme of the Open Middleware Infrastructure Institute (http://www.omii.ac.uk).
