Managing Contracts in Pleiades Using Trust Management

چکیده
The advent of multicore technologies is set to significantly increase the average compute power per machine. Effective and efficient exploitation of this power poses unprecedented challenges and opportunities. The Pleiades system, currently under development in UCF, CSU and UCC [1], proposes the construction of a distributed, heterogeneous, and secure marketplace for trading and administer these resources whose owners sign up to various quality of service (QoS) contracts, in return for financial and in-kind payment. This paper presents a very important part of the Pleiades system: addressing the role of Trust Management (TM) in the generation and enforcement of these contracts. The approach taken significantly reduces the overhead that is traditionally assumed with cryptographic solutions, by the dynamic and a priory creation of a secure environment in which these expensive checks associated with cryptographic solutions, are not

متن کاملIndustry Structure, Executive Pay, and Short-Termism
This study outlines a new theory linking industry structure to optimal employment contracts and executive short-termism. Firms hire their executives using optimal contracts derived within a competitive labour market. To motivate effort firms must use some variable remuneration. Such remuneration introduces a myopia problem: an executive would wish to inflate early expected earnings at some risk...
متن کاملSAFE: A Declarative Trust Management System with Linked Credentials
We present SAFE, an integrated system for managing trust using a logic-based declarative language. Logical trust systems authorize each request by constructing a proof from a context—a set of authenticated logic statements representing credentials and policies issued by various principals in a networked system. A key barrier to practical use of logical trust systems is the problem of managing p...
