The physiology of the grid: An open grid services architecture for distributed systems integration

by Ian Foster , 2002
"... In both e-business and e-science, we often need to integrate services across distributed, heterogeneous, dynamic “virtual organizations ” formed from the disparate resources within a single enterprise and/or from external resource sharing and service provider relationships. This integration can be t ..."

be technically challenging because of the need to achieve various qualities of service when running on top of different native platforms. We present an Open Grid Services Architecture that addresses these challenges. Building on concepts and technologies from the Grid and Web services communities

Kerberos: An Authentication Service for Open Network Systems

by Jennifer G. Steiner, Clifford Neuman, Jeffrey I. Schiller - IN USENIX CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS , 1988
"... In an open network computing environment, a workstation cannot be trusted to identify its users correctly to network services. Kerberos provides an alternative approach whereby a trusted third-party authentication service is used to verify users’ identities. This paper gives an overview of the Kerb ..."

The SWISS-MODEL Workspace: A web-based environment for protein structure homology modelling

by Konstantin Arnold, Lorenza Bordoli, Torsten Schwede, et al. - BIOINFORMATICS , 2005
"... Motivation: Homology models of proteins are of great interest for planning and analyzing biological experiments when no experimental three-dimensional structures are available. Building homology models requires specialized programs and up-to-date sequence and structural databases. Integrating all re ..."

Tor: The secondgeneration onion router,”

by Roger Dingledine - in 13th USENIX Security Symposium. Usenix, , 2004
"... Abstract We present Tor, a circuit-based low-latency anonymous communication service. This second-generation Onion Routing system addresses limitations in the original design by adding perfect forward secrecy, congestion control, directory servers, integrity checking, configurable exit policies, an ..."

Nimrod/G: An architecture for a resource management and scheduling system in a global computational Grid

by Rajkumar Buyya, David Abramson, Jonathan Giddy - PROCEEDINGS OF THE 4TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING IN ASIA-PACIFIC REGION (HPC ASIA 2000) , 2000
"... Abstract- The availability of powerful microprocessors and high-speed networks as commodity components has enabled high performance computing on distributed systems (wide-area cluster computing). In this environment, as the resources are usually distributed geographically at various levels (departme ..."

The Protégé OWL plugin: An open development environment for semantic web applications

by Holger Knublauch, Ray W. Fergerson, Natalya F. Noy, Mark A. Musen , 2004
"... Abstract. We introduce the OWL Plugin, a Semantic Web extension of the Protégé ontology development platform. The OWL Plugin can be used to edit ontologies in the Web Ontology Language (OWL), to access description logic reasoners, and to acquire instances for semantic markup. In many of these featur ..."
Abstract - Cited by 226 (5 self) - Add to MetaCart
of these features, the OWL Plugin has created and facilitated new practices for building Semantic Web contents, often driven by the needs of and feedback from our users. Furthermore, Protégé’s flexible open-source platform means that it is easy to integrate customtailored components to build real-world applications

InfoSleuth: Agent-Based Semantic Integration of Information in Open and Dynamic Environments

by R. J. Bayardo, Jr., W. Bohrer, R. Brice, A. Cichocki, J. Fowler, A. Helal, V. Kashyap, V. Kashyap T. Ksiezyk, G. Martin, M. Nodine, M. Rashid, M. Rusinkiewicz, R. Shea, C. Unnikrishnan, A. Unruh, D. Woelk , 1997
"... The goM of the InfoSleuth project at MCC is to exploit and synthesize new technologies into a unified system that retrieves and processes information in an ever-changing net- work of information sources. InfoSleuth has its roots in the Carnot project at MCC, which specialized in integrating heteroge ..."
