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.
NACO is a comprehensive Python-based validation tool designed to ensure
compliance with attribute requirements, such as NFDI or AARG-G056. The
system provides dual interfaces - a command-line tool (naco) and a web
service (naco-web) - for validating OIDC tokens and SAML assertions
against configurable attribute specifications.
The tool supports flexible attribute checking through...
The rapid growth of data-intensive life science research requests infrastructures and services that guarantee security, compliance, and interoperability across federated environments. EPIC Cloud (Enhanced PrIvacy and Compliance Cloud) represents the highly secure region of INFN DataCloud, representing the backbone of the Italian EOSC national node. Designed to meet stringent privacy and data...
The Worldwide Large Hadron Collider Computing Grid (WLCG) community’s deployment of IPv6 on its worldwide storage infrastructure is very successful and has been presented by us at earlier ISGC conferences. The campaign to deploy IPv6 on CPU services and all worker nodes is progressing well. Dual-stack IPv6/IPv4 is not, however, a viable long-term solution; the HEPiX IPv6 Working Group has...
Supported by the work of the Security Operations Centre Working Group that has been reported on at ISGC previously we have built experience across the Research & Education community deploying security operations centre capabilities. This work has used the reference design of the working group, developed to provide guidance on the elements required to deploy a Security Operations Centre, in...
The JUNO Experiment officially started data acquisition at the end of 2024, producing approximately 8TB of raw data daily, all of which must be transmitted to the offline computing platform in Beijing in real time. Nevertheless, in production, during data transmission, unstable transmission performance may occur, and existing monitoring methods cannot quickly identify the root causes....
