The BuddySpace Client Grid Service (BSCGS) is an experimental grid service envelope around the back-end of BuddySpace (BS) Jabber client. Each service resource (instance) contains an instance of the BS back-end. The grid service interface then substitutes the front-end (the graphical user interface) of the “normal” version of the client; defining equivalent operations and notifications ranging from “connect/ disconnect” or “send message” commands to “presence changed” notifications.
Current implementation of the BSCGS service was developed using the Globus Toolkit and an instance of the service is currently running at: http://ibrox.open.ac.uk:8080/wsrf/services/bscgs/BSCService
