Abstract

This paper summarizes the works towards a Service Oriented Architecture to abstract the execution of scientific applications under different programming models, with a special focus on High Throughput Computing. The platform features SLA-aware capabilities based on WSAgreements and the ability to deploy customized virtual infrastructures with support for di erent IaaS Cloud providers. The proposed architecture features both horizontal (scale in/scale out) and vertical (scale up/scale down) elasticity capabilities in order to automatically t the virtual infrastructure to the dynamic computing requirements of scienti c applications. An overview of the platform is described, together with the current implementation state and issues to be considered.
