Overview
Welcome to the gCube's Developers Guide. The purpose of this document is to provide instructions for developers wishing to exploit a gCube based grid infrastructure. gCube is a versatile, rich featured grid platform that has been developed in the context of the D4Science European IST research project [1].
The platform follows the Service Oriented paradigm and exploits and extends various existing grid middlewares and collaborative tools like the Globus Toolkit 4 [2], gLite [3], the GridSphere Portal Framework [4], etc. gCube offers a feature full platform for distributed hosting, management and retrieval of data and information, and a framework for extending state-of-the-art indexing, selection, fusion, extraction, description, annotation, transformation, and presentation of content.
Intended Readership
The document targets two classes of programmers:
- Those who want to reuse the code – Programmers who will use gCube’s libraries to build their own services and middleware components, without need to access the source code.
- Those who want to modify/extend the source code – Programmers who will use the platforms source code to enhance it, correct it, adapt it to different environments and applications domains.
Related Documents
Apart from this Developers Guide, D4Science has also made available two additional support documents:
- the User's Guide, which provides usage information and guidelines for the end-user.
- the Administrator's Guide, which provides information and guidelines for the installation, configuration and daily administration of a gCube based computational grid infrastructure.
Additional material that will help potential gCube developers is the
Regarding the architecture and inner details of gCube, the interested reader can visit the official gCube platform web site [7].
