abstract = {UNICORE (UNiform Interface to COmputing REsources) is a
Grid middleware for accessing high-performance computing
capabilities and storage resources in a secure and seamless
fashion. In its current version (7.0), it offers web
services using SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) in
conjunction with a security stack based on the Security
Assertions Markup Language (SAML) and the WS-Security
specification. To accommodate recent integration use cases,
the need for more lightweight ways to access resources
through UNICORE has arisen. This work describes the
architecture, design, and first implementation results of an
interface to UNICORE services based on the REST
(Representational State Transfer) architectural style.
Crucial boundary conditions included a lightweight security
layer, and full interoperability with the existing
SOAP-based interfaces. This RESTful interface will greatly
simplify access to and interaction with the UNICORE services
and enable new use cases. It will allow integrating
high-performance computing and data management services into
web-based and mobile applications.},
