An Authorization Scenario for S-OGSA
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Semantic Grid initiative aims to exploit knowledge in the Grid to increase the automation, interoperability and flexibility of Grid middleware and applications. To bring a principled approach to developing Semantic Grid Systems, and to outline their core capabilities and behaviors, we have devised a reference Semantic Grid Architecture called S-OGSA. We present the implementation of an S-OGSA observant semantically-enabled Grid authorization scenario, which demonstrates two aspects: 1) the roles of different middleware components, be them semantic or non-semantic, and 2) the utility of explicit semantics for undertaking an essential activity in the Grid: resource access control.

متن کاملMetadata Management in S-OGSA
Metadata-intensive applications pose strong requirements for metadata management infrastructures, which need to deal with a large amount of distributed and dynamic metadata. Among the most relevant requirements we can cite those related to access control and authorisation, lifecycle management and notification mechanisms, and distribution transparency. In this paper we discuss such requirements...
متن کاملIntegrating Legacy Authorization Systems into the Grid: A Case Study Leveraging AzMan and ADAM
While much of the Grid security community has focused on developing new authorization systems, the real challenge is often integrating legacy authorization systems with Grid software. The existing authorization system might not understand Grid authentication, might not scale to Grid-level usage, might not be able to understand the operations that are requested to be authorized, and might requir...

The Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA) provides a high-level framework for service-oriented grid architecture, mostly based on web service standards. The vision of a worldwide computing grid evokes the scenario of electronic markets for grid services. The object of our investigation is a serviceoriented grid architecture model that is compliant with the OGSA specification. We address the pr...
متن کاملBiosimgrid: a Distributed Database for Biomolecular Simulations
Biomolecular simulations provide data on the conformational dynamics and energetics of complex biomolecular systems. We aim to exploit the e-science infrastructure developing in the UK to enable large scale analysis of the results of such simulations. In particular, the BioSimGrid project (www.biosimgrid.org) will provide a generic database for comparative analysis of simulations of biomolecule...
