In the last months, I collaborated to the writing of the following publications:

• A Restful Approach to the OGSA Basic Execution Service Specification: this work is an interesting exercise on mapping a WSDL-based service interface definition into an HTTP-based one following the REST architectural style. REST has gained popularity in the last years and many Web sites are providing programmatic access to their functionalites via a RESTful interface. Among cloud services providers, this approach is popular. Therefore, I wanted to evaluate how a Grid service interface can be redesigned using a RESTful approach. Together with a colleague, we defined a mapping of the OGSA BES (Basic Execution Service) WSDL into a RESTful approach using the HTTP protocol (submitted for review to a conference, preprint available as INFN Technical Report)
• Standards-Based Job Management in Grid Systems:  several Grid middleware providers are cooperating since years to achieve a standard-based interoperability; the Open Grid Forum (OGF) is the organization providing the context for standard definition in this context; the definition and adoption process is still on-going. We have organized and described our experience in the area of definition and integration of standards for job management in a paper (submitted for review to a journal, preprint available as INFN Technical Report) .
