Web services have been applied in two structurally different case studies to solve tasks with a Grid that is integrated into a SOA and vice versa. The case studies have revealed important insight on how and when to couple SOA and Grid technologies including monitoring aspects. Some interesting general rules are derived on what has to be observed when combining SOA and Grid in smaller environments. Performance and software technical analysis have been used in validating the results. They also clearly showed the benefits gained by employing SOA and Grid concepts form both a performance as well as an architectural perspective.}, subject = {Grid Computing}, language = {en} }
