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 it 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.
