The aim of the simple heterogeneous inter-cloud manager (SHINCLOM) project is to develop a prototype web-based single sign-on inter-cloud management portal that gives users the ability to easily configure and launch inter-cloud VPCs, HPC clusters, and autonomic applications and services. We employ a model-based approach in which the various requirements of the project are mapped to the layers of a...
Establishing scalable and cross-enterprise workflow management systems (WfMSs) in the cloud requires the adaptation and extension of existing concepts for process management. This paper proposes a scalable and cross-enterprise WfMS with a multitenancy architecture. Especially, it can activate enactment of workflow processes by cloud collaboration. We do not employ the traditional engine-based WfMSs...
The SBGrid Science Portal provides multi-modal access to computational infrastructure, data storage, and data analysis tools for the structural biology community. It incorporates features not previously seen in cyberinfrastructure science gateways. It enables researchers to securely share a computational study area, including large volumes of data and active computational workflows. A rich identity...
Volleyball Information System (VIS) is an information system that was built to be used as a support for the conduct of volleyball competitions, as well as the support for informing the public about volleyball. The system is composed of a central database where all the data is stored and of a set of web portals through which the authorized users can enter data into the system and through which the...
As organizations become larger and larger, a worldwide enterprise may involve many regional branches, and also form partnerships with other organizations. Therefore it becomes necessary to implement authentication systems which are capable of working across multiple security domains or internet domains. We proposed an effective scheme which can implement virtual identity federation by establishing...
Autonomic computing is the practice to reduce complexity involved in integrated systems across an enterprise. It is the term associated with a system capable of operating and managing on its own. A business establishment is composed of a variety of legacy and contemporary systems. The operation and maintenance of such systems can be eased if we integrate them and develop a temperate system. An enterprise...
The development and production of consumer goods is increasingly affected by a world-wide distribution and specialization of development and production locations. Efficient IT tools are required for synchronizing decision makers, developer teams and production planners. In this paper we present the design and evaluation of our virtual workspace for supporting the collaboration of team members in geographically...
The organizations are shifting from the desktop based solution to Web based platform to solve their business needs. The amass of these different systems poses problems for end-users, who must frequently provide their username/password across different systems, as well as for system administrators, who must manage security and access for those systems. Single sign-on mechanisms have become increasingly...
Applying grid technology to early warning and emergency management of city operation and development will greatly improve the reliability of city operation and development. There are three levels in mechanism of grid-based early warning and emergency management mechanism: hardware and the resource database, Grid server system and users' portal. The appliance of the Mechanism in a section of Shanghai...
A spatial data access control model in grid environment was proposed base on Globus Security Infrastructure (GSI). Firstly, A spatial datasets sharing framework was built up by Monitor and Discover Service (MDS), and then a common control model was proposed to realize spatial data access control. In this model, every user was mapped to a given role, and every role had a unique digital certificate...
Virtual organizations are interested in providing secure grid-related services to individual scientist users through portals and invest significant time and effort in managing them. Systems are often in place for users to request and receive grid certificates in many grid infrastructures as a basis for their identity in the grid. These identities are, however, typically disconnected from Web portal...
This paper discusses an access control mechanism for public Web portals by sharing users' data from identity providers across organizations boundaries among federated organizations using a lightweight Web-based application framework. Each user can subscribe to a portal and be given an access-card which will be used to identify the subscriber at this particular portal or other portals in collaboration...
Science and technology (S&T) information presents a rich resource, vital for managing research and development (R&D) programs. Modern S&T electronic abstract databases such as Science Citation Index and INSPEC provide comprehensive information on research activities in many different domains. These databases mostly include English language publications. However for a country such as Thailand...
Parliaments in most developing countries tend to be closed institutions. There is a need for them to open up and exchange timely and real information with citizens and other stakeholder groups. The development of effective parliamentary web portals can support openness and create transparency. This can benefit citizens, communities, members of parliament (MPs), parliamentary staff and other stakeholders...
Most organizations have difficulty keeping track of and controlling all the user identifiers and passwords across their systems. Identity management (IdM) systems are designed to help manage user identifiers across multiple systems as well as providing a way to manage user access over their lifecycle of roles in the organization. They are tightly integrated with other systems such as those that provide...
