Abstract
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for control interfaces for distributed system applications. A method includes, at an application deployed on a first computing system in a grid computing environment, monitoring a communication channel connecting the first computing system to a second computing system, receiving a command over the communication channel from the second computing system, and in response to the received command, generating a descriptor file including descriptions of one or more actions to be performed by the second computing system in order to move the application from the first computing system to a third computing system.

A method comprising:
- at an application deployed on a first computing system in a grid computing environment,
- monitoring a communication channel connecting the first computing system with a second computing system;
- receiving a command over the communication channel from the second computing system;
- and
- in response to the received command, generating a descriptor file including descriptions of one or more actions to be performed by the second computing system in order to move the application from the first computing system to a third computing system.
A method comprising:
- at an application deployed on a first computing system in a grid computing environment,
- monitoring a communication channel connecting the first computing system with a second computing system;
- receiving a command over the communication channel from the second computing system;
- in response to the received command, generating a descriptor file including descriptions of one or more actions to be performed by the second computing system in order to start the application;
- and
- terminating execution of the application.
A computer program product, tangibly embodied in an information carrier, for control interfaces for distributed system applications, the computer program product being operable to cause data processing apparatus to:
- at an application deployed on a first computing system in a grid computing environment, monitor a communication channel connecting the first computing system to a second computing system;
- receive a command over the communication channel from the second computing system;
- and
- in response to the received command, generate a descriptor file including descriptions of one or more actions to be performed by the second computing system in order to move the application from the first computing system to a third computing system.
