Description
The Glidein Frontend is, as the name suggests, the user interface of a glidein based WMS.
Overview
The main task of the VO frontend is to look for user jobs and ask
the Glidein Factories to provide
glideins, if needed. See the
picture below for a general overview.
The
VO frontend knows nothing about the glideins or Grid sites; the only
information in has are the attributes that the various Glidein
Factories publish. This makes the life of the frontend much
easier, as it only has to worry about matching user job requirements
to the factory attributes.
