Abstract

The Grid and its related technologies enable large-scale sharing of resources of various types. We envision that in the near future applications will be completely built in a bottom-up fashion using software components deployed on various locations and interconnected to form a workflow graph. In this paper, we make some proposals on the design of a component search service, enabling users to locate the components they need to deploy an application.
