The System and Network Engineering (SNE) Research group researches cross-domain interaction between Cloud/Grid resource providers, optical and hybrid networking, resource descriptions using semantic web and programmable networks for the Future Internet. SNE group cooperate with other organisations in Netherlands, SURFnet and SARA, in the creation, maintenance and utilization of a state of the art Lambda Grid experimentation laboratory named LightHouse, which is well connected to NetherLight. UvA is a founding member and key contributor to CineGrid, GLIF and OGF.
Relevant expertise / know-how
The SNE group has built over recent years an extensive expertise in the areas of: network topology description models and language based on Semantic Web RDF framework (currently being contributed to OGF NML-WG), Generic AAA architecture and AAA Authorisation framework (described in RFC2903-2906), development of Open Source GAAA Toolkit pluggable Java library implementing AAA Authorisation framework for on-demand network resource provisioning, Grid security and development of the gLite Authorisation Framework and XACML interoperability profile for EGEE-OSG-Globus cooperation.
Role in the project
The SNE group will contribute to the GEYSER project with the development of information model that will be used as basis for WP3 Logical Infrastructure Composition Layer and other services interoperability in the overall GEYSER architecture. In WP4 UvA will lead the development of the AAA framework for network control plane and implement it in the prototype as pluggable library. In the WP2 UvA will contribute with defining the generic Complex Resource Provisioning framework and supporting its AAA Authorisation infrastructure.
