End Date: 2003URL: http://www.am-sd.org/ CaberNet members involved on the project: University of Newcastle, UK; LAAS - CNRS, France; ISTI, Italy Other Partners: ARC Seibersdorf research (ARCS) Austria, Joint Research Centre (EC-JRC-IPSC); Adelard, UK The Project:AMSD addresses the need for a coherent major initiative in FWP6 encompassing various aspects of dependability (reliability, safety, security, survivability, etc.); education and training; and means for encouraging and enabling sector-specific IST RTD projects to use dependability best practice. The results will be an overall dependability roadmap that considers dependability in an adequately holistic way, and a detailed roadmap for dependable embedded systems.List of relevant chapters: Distributed Systems Security, Dependable Systems Three publications reporting outcomes from the project: The main result of the project is the dependability roadmap “A dependability Roadmap for the Information Society in Europe”– can be downloaded from the project web page. Network of Excellence in Distributed and Dependable Computing Systems Acronym: ANDROID Project Title: Active Networks Distributed Open Infrastructure Development Start Date: June 2000 End Date: October 2002 URL: http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/research/android CaberNet members involved on the project: British Telecommunications plc (BT), Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) Other Partners: University College London (UCL): CS and EE, COMPAQ, National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), MediaSec Technologies GmbH, 6WIND SA, Netcelo SA The Project: The vision of the ANDROID project was that users of a network (end users, service providers/integrators etc.) should be offered the ability to control shared network equipment (including computing resources) to meet their individual needs and preferences. This control should be achievable without explicit reference to the owner of the resources concerned. This places strong requirements on the approach to management, specifically resource and security management. ANDROID developed prototype implementations of key management system components, addressing in particular computing resource management and security. These components were used to enhance existing active node prototypes with features that are necessary before deployment. Experiments in a wide area setting but on a limited scale have demonstrated the feasibility of supporting a diverse range of applications, and modelling has been used to address issues with scaling the proposed approach to much larger networks.

Network of Excellence in Distributed and Dependable Computing Systems Acronym: ARION Project Title: An Advanced Lightweight Architecture for Accessing Scientific Collections Start Date: January 2001 End Date: February 2004 URL: http://www.arion-dl.org CaberNet members involved on the project: FORTH, Greece Other Partners: University of Crete(Computer Science Department), Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (Instituto per la Matematica Applicata), National Technical University of Athens (Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering), HR Wallingford Group Ltd, London School of Economics and Political Science (Enterprise LSE Limited), Oceanographic Company of Norway (Oceanography Department), Joint Research Centre of the European Commission (Institute for Environment and Sustainability) The Project: ARION provides a service-based infrastructure designed to support search and retrieval of scientific objects, and capable of integrating collections of scientific applications including datasets, simulation models and associated tools for statistical analysis and dataset visualization. These collections may reside in geographically disperse organizations and constitute the system content. On-demand scientific data processing workflows are also actively supported, in both interactive and batch mode. The underlying computational grid used in ARION is composed of geographically distributed and heterogeneous resources, namely, servers, networks, data stores and workstations, all resident to the member organizations that provide the scientific content and resources. ARION provides the means for organizing this ensemble so that its disparate and varied parts are integrated into a coherent whole. Hence, ARION can be viewed as the middleware between users, the data they wish to process and the computational resources required for this processing. In addition, the system offers semantic description of its content in terms of scientific ontologies and metadata information. Thus, ARION provides the basic infrastructure for accessing and deriving scientific information in an open, distributed and federated system. To achieve these goals ARION has brought together two closely related technology trends that are undergoing continuous development and have reached an acceptable level of maturity, namely the Semantic Web and the Grid. The gain from this promising coupling is the combination of large-scale integration of resources with a universally accessible platform that allows data to be shared and processed by automated tools as well as by people. The system’s demonstration scenarios involve environmental applications (offshore to near shore transformation of wave conditions, synthetic time series and monthly statistical parameters, coupled ocean-atmosphere models etc.).
