An architecture to enable some blocks consisting of several nodes in a public cluster connected to different grid collaborations is introduced. It is realized by inserting a web-service in addition to the standard Globus Toolkit. The new web-service performs two main tasks : authenticate the digital certificate contained in an incoming requests and forward it to the designated block. The appropriate block is mapped with the username of the blocks owner contained in the digital certificate. It is argued that this algorithm opens an opportunity for any blocks in a public cluster to join various global grids.

We describe R-GMA (Relational Grid Monitoring Architecture) which has been developed within the European DataGrid Project as a Grid Information and Monitoring System. Is is based on the GMA from GGF, which is a simple Consumer-Producer model. The special strength of this implementation comes from the power of the relational model. We offer a global view of the information as if each Virtual Organisation had one large relational database. We provide a number of different Producer types with different characteristics; for example some support streaming of information. We also provide combined Consumer/Producers, which are able to combine information and republish it. At the heart of the system is the mediator, which for any query is able to find and connect to the best Producers for the job. We have developed components to allow a measure of inter-working between MDS and R-GMA. We have used it both for information about the grid (primarily to find out about what services are available at any one time) and for application monitoring. R-GMA has been deployed in various testbeds; we describe some preliminary results and experiences of this deployment.
Ubiquitous sensing devices frequently disseminate their data between them. The use of a distributed event-based system that decouples publishers of subscribers arises as an ideal candidate to implement the dissemination process. In this paper, we present a network architecture which merges the network and overlay layers of typical structured event-based systems. Directional Random Walks (DRWs) are used for the construction of this merged layer. Our first results show that DRWs are suitable to balance the load using a few nodes in the network to construct the dissemination path. As future work, we propose to study the properties of this new layer and to work on the design of Bloom filters to manage broker nodes.
Distributed applications, such as database queries and distributed training, consist of both compute and network tasks. DAG-based abstraction primarily targets compute tasks and has no explicit network-level scheduling. In contrast, Coflow abstraction collectively schedules network flows among compute tasks but lacks the end-to-end view of the application DAG. Because of the dependencies and interactions between these two types of tasks, it is sub-optimal to only consider one of them. We argue that co-scheduling of both compute and network tasks can help applications towards the globally optimal end-to-end performance. However, none of the existing abstractions can provide fine-grained information for co-scheduling. We propose MXDAG, an abstraction to treat both compute and network tasks explicitly. It can capture the dependencies and interactions of both compute and network tasks leading to improved application performance.
A web-based interface dedicated for cluster computer which is publicly accessible for free is introduced. The interface plays an important role to enable secure public access, while providing user-friendly computational environment for end-users and easy maintainance for administrators as well. The whole architecture which integrates both aspects of hardware and software is briefly explained. It is argued that the public cluster is globally a unique approach, and could be a new kind of e-learning system especially for parallel programming communities.
Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks have mostly focused on task oriented networking, where networks are constructed for single applications, i.e. file-sharing, DNS caching, etc. In this work, we introduce IPOP, a system for creating virtual IP networks on top of a P2P overlay. IPOP enables seamless access to Grid resources spanning multiple domains by aggregating them into a virtual IP network that is completely isolated from the physical network. The virtual IP network provided by IPOP supports deployment of existing IP-based protocols over a robust, self-configuring P2P overlay. We present implementation details as well as experimental measurement results taken from LAN, WAN, and Planet-Lab tests.
