Message-based cellular peer-to-peer grids: foundations for secure federation and autonomic services

摘要

We examine the creation of peer-to-peer Grids in which autonomous Grid components (Gridlets) may be federated into dynamic Grid collections. We examine two important aspects of these systems: federated security and autonomic considerations. As we discuss, both may be implemented using a messaging system as a substrate. Messaging systems provide the means of bridging Gridlet realms, organizing access control areas. and providing autonomic building blocks like discovery reliability, resilience, and robustness of the peer-to-peer Grid.
