The Grid technologies are in ongoing development. Using current Grid toolkits like the Globus toolkit gives one the possibility to build up virtual organizations. Although these tookits are in still under development and do not feature all…
We present SmartGridToolbox: a C++ library for simulating modern and future electricity networks. SmartGridToolbox is distinguished by the fact that it is a general purpose library (rather than an application), that emphasizes flexibility,…
Grids are experiencing a rapid growth in their application and along with this there is a requirement for a portal which is easy to use and scalable. We have responded to this requirement by developing an easy to use, scalable, web-based…
The edge of the network has the potential to host services for supporting a variety of user applications, ranging in complexity from data preprocessing, image and video rendering, and interactive gaming, to embedded systems in autonomous…
In this paper we describe our work on enabling fine-grained authorization for resource usage and management. We address the need of virtual organizations to enforce their own polices in addition to those of the resource owners, in regard to…
Artificial Neural Network is one of the most common AI application fields. This field has direct and indirect usages most sciences. The main goal of ANN is to imitate biological neural networks for solving scientific problems. But the level…
The growth of the Internet of Things has enabled a new generation of applications, pushing computation and intelligence toward the network edge. This trend, however, exposes challenges, as the heterogeneity of devices and the complex…
The CMS Integration Grid Testbed (IGT) comprises USCMS Tier-1 and Tier-2 hardware at the following sites: the California Institute of Technology, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, the University of California at San Diego, and the…
This paper examines how a "Distributed Heterogeneous Relational Data Warehouse" can be integrated in a Grid environment that will provide physicists with efficient access to large and small object collections drawn from databases at…
The EU DataGrid has deployed a grid testbed at approximately 20 sites across Europe, with several hundred registered users. This paper describes authorisation systems produced by GridPP and currently used on the EU DataGrid Testbed,…
Cloud computing has grown to become a popular distributed computing service offered by commercial providers. More recently, Edge and Fog computing resources have emerged on the wide-area network as part of Internet of Things (IoT)…
Despite the de-facto technological uniformity fostered by the cloud and edge computing paradigms, resource fragmentation across isolated clusters hinders the dynamism in application placement, leading to suboptimal performance and…
We discuss a substantial update to the Grid software library for Lattice QCD, enabling it to port to multiple GPU architectures while retaining CPU vectorisation and SIMD execution within OpenMP threads. The GPU environments supported…
The next wave of communication and applications rely on the new services provided by Internet of Things which is becoming an important aspect in human and machines future. The IoT services are a key solution for providing smart environments…
In the Internet of Things (IoT), heterogeneous devices connect to each other and to external systems to exchange data and provide services. Given the diversity of devices, it is becoming increasingly common to establish collaborative…
Contrary to using distant and centralized cloud data center resources, employing decentralized resources at the edge of a network for processing data closer to user devices, such as smartphones and tablets, is an upcoming computing…
The accelerated development in Grid and peer-to-peer computing has positioned them as promising next generation computing platforms. They enable the creation of Virtual Enterprises (VE) for sharing resources distributed across the world.…
Computer systems have evolved over the years starting from sizable, single-user, slow, and expensive machines to multi-user, fast, cheaper, and small-sized machines. The use of multi-user computer networks has given rise to a new paradigm…
Robotic systems are more connected, networked, and distributed than ever. New architectures that comply with the \textit{de facto} robotics middleware standard, ROS\,2, have recently emerged to fill the gap in terms of hybrid systems…
This paper presents basic concepts, architectural principles and algorithms for efficient resource and security management in cluster computing environments and the Grid. The work presented in this paper is funded by BTExacT and the EPSRC…
