Abstract:
The goal of the GRID-TLSE Project is to design an expert site
that provides an easy
access to a number of tools allowing comparative analysis
of sparse matrix packages on a user-submitted problem,
as well as on particular matrices from the
matrix collection also available on the site.
When making available a large amount of software over a computational Grid,
facilitating its deployment and its exploitation become crucial.
Within the GRID-TLSE Project, we use
a software component approach based on a high level
semantic description of the scientific computing services.
In this paper, we focus on one aspect of this description of
the computational services: the use of meta-data
called abstract parameters.
Our approach allows the automatic discovery and the
exploitation of new services throught the
concept of scenario.
