Registry service for use in a distributed processing framework system and methods for implementing the same

A method for facilitating an execution of a process, the method comprising:

• launching a registry service on a system;
• obtaining a machine service proxy and a set of machine service attributes of a processing resource if the processing resource requests to be registered with the registry service;
• receiving a request to execute the process from a system controller, the process having a set of requirements and a type;
• searching the registry service for the processing resource having a machine service configured to have a set of machine service attributes substantially matching the set of requirements of the process;
• providing a machine service proxy of the machine service of the processing resource to the system controller;
• obtaining a process service proxy and a set of process service attributes of a process service spawned by the machine service by the registry service, the process service configured to have a type substantially matching the type of the process;
• and
• removing the process service proxy and the set of process service attributes from the registry service upon the termination of the execution of the process.

A method for advertising an availability of a test system to execute a test execution request, the method comprising:

• launching a look up service on a system;
• obtaining a machine service proxy and a set of machine service attributes of the test system if the test system requests to be registered with the look up service;
• receiving the test execution request from a system controller, the test execution request having a set of requirements and a type;
• searching the look up service for the test system having a machine service configured to have a set of machine service attributes substantially matching the set of requirements of the test execution request;
• providing a machine service proxy of the machine service of the test system to the system controller;
• obtaining a test service proxy and a set of test service attributes of a test service spawned by the machine service by the look up service, the test service being configured to have a type substantially matching the type of the test execution request;
• and
• removing the test service proxy and the set of test service attributes from the look up service upon the termination of the execution of the test execution request.
