Grid workflow management systems automate the orchestration of scientific applications with large computational and data processing needs, but lack control over network resources. Consequently, the management system cannot prevent multiple communication intensive applications to compete for network resources, which leads to unpredictable performance. Currently, the lack of control over network res...Show More
This paper presents the generalised token based networking (gTBN) architecture, which enables dynamic binding of communities and their applications to specialised network services. gTBN uses protocol independent tokens to provide decoupling of authorisation from time of usage as well as identification of network traffic. The tokenised traffic allows specialised software components uploaded into ne...Show More
With the increasing demand for dynamic network connections between multiple research networks, a number of issues on multi-layer hybrid networks need to be addressed, such as network representation, path finding, and path provisioning. This paper focuses on solving the multi-layer path finding problem by a declarative approach. The declarative approach uses Prolog and is compared to an imperative ...Show More
