The Service Oriented Grid

["Toby Considine" <Toby.Considine@gmail.com>]

When I consider the needs of the smart grid, I enision the Service Oriented Grid and the Service Oriented Buildinginteracting in loose ad hoc couplings through interfaces that are use to support multiple functions.

In other words, I look to a Service Oriented Architecture. This is quite different than the way electromechnical systems have traditionally been controlled and operated. It does, however, enhahance interoperability while being technology agnostic, and is thereforre a significant help to acheiving grid interoperability, as well as a common interface for I2g, b2g, h2g, and v2g.

For any who have not read it, the SOA Reference Model is a good, quick technology agnostic read...
