Description
Networking and the connected e-Infrastructures are becoming ubiquitous. Ensuring the smooth operation and integrity of the services for research communities in a rapidly changing environment are key challenges. This track focuses on the current state of the art and recent advances in these areas: networking, infrastructure, operations, security and identity management. The scope of this track includes advances in high-performance networking (software defined networks, community private networks, the IPv4 to IPv6 transition, cross-domain provisioning), the connected data and compute infrastructures (storage and compute systems architectures, improving service and site reliability, interoperability between infrastructures, data centre models), monitoring tools and metrics, service management (ITIL and SLAs), and infrastructure/systems operations and management. Also included here are issues related to the integrity, reliability, and security of services and data: developments in security middleware, operational security, security policy, federated identity management, and community management. Submissions related to the general theme of the conference are particularly welcome.
The Authentication and Authorisation for Research Collaboration (AARC) Blueprint Architecture has been a foundational framework for authentication and authorisation infrastructures (AAIs) in global research. It supports the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), national research AAIs, and cross-regional e-infrastructures, offering a unified approach to federated identity management. As the scope...
CC-IN2P3, the french Tier-1 for W-LCG, has recently equipped itself with a dedicated in-house documentation tool, DIPLO, based on an open-source web-based solution. The centralization of information and a single point of entry have been key in this cross-organizational approach. Starting at the initial situation report, we expose the vision and the specifications that have led to the...
In IoT (Internet of Things) systems consisting of IoT devices, edges, and cloud servers, it is expected that various sensor data obtained from IoT devices will be collected, accumulated, and utilized to solve various social issues using Artificial Intelligence. However, due to the sophistication and intensification of cyber attacks, security measures for IoT systems consisting of a large...
The Account LInking SErvice ALISE implements the concept of site-local
account linking. For this a user can log in with one local account and
with any number of supported external accounts (e.g. Helmholtz-ID and
Google). The local account is on at an HPC centre, which also comprises
the Unix-User name.
Federated services can use this informatin whenever they need to map a
federated...
