The Study of AMGA RAP-based Web Application

The ARDA Metadata Catalog Grid Application (AMGA) web application has been widely used; however, it has drawbacks such as easy-to-use interface, no direct building of the Virtual Organization Membership Service (VOMS) proxy and no maintenance after AMGA server version 1.3. In response, we adapted a new development procedure and toolkit from Graphic User Interface (GUI) client, a Client/Server (C/S) program, to a web application to manage the both Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) and Rich Ajax Platform (RAP) at the same time. The AMGA web application provides many interesting features for manipulation of collections, metadata schema, entries, access control, user/group information, federation and others. Additionally, this web application includes a powerful SQL query editor that enables users to make complicated sentences under specific query conditions. In this paper, we describe the implementation of the AMGA web application focusing on the transformation of AMGA Manager using Eclipse RCP to a RAP-based web application

Draft grid storage namespace guidelines

The Grid can provide MICE not only with computing (number-crunching) power, but also with a secure global framework allowing users access to data. Although the focus is usually on the mass of experiment data, the Grid also opens up new possibilities for the storage and sharing of other material within the collaboration. This document provides an introduction to data storage on the Grid and describes the proposal for the directory structures to be used by MICE when registering data files stored on the Grid within a File Catalogue such as LFC

A Secure Grid Medical Data Manager Interfaced to the gLite Middleware

International audienceThe medical community is producing and manipulating a tremendous volume of digital data for which computerized archiving, processing and analysis is needed. Grid infrastructures are promising for dealing with challenges arising in computerized medicine but the manipulation of medical data on such infrastructures faces both the problem of interconnecting medical information systems to Grid middlewares and of preserving patients' privacy in a wide and distributed multi-user system. These constraints are often limiting the use of Grids for manipulating sensitive medical data. This paper describes our design of a medical data management system taking advantage of the advanced gLite data management services, developed in the context of the EGEE project, to fulfill the stringent needs of the medical community. It ensures medical data protection through strict data access control, anonymization and encryption. The multi-level access control provides the flexibility needed for imple! menting complex medical use-cases. Data anonymization prevents the exposure of most sensitive data to unauthorized users, and data encryption guarantees data protection even when it is stored at remote sites. Moreover, the developed prototype provides a Grid storage resource manager (SRM) interface to standard medical DICOM servers thereby enabling transparent access to medical data without interfering with medical practice
