When such a system is shared by multiple users, mandatory access control (MAC) becomes a critical necessity. Considering the limitations of previous access control solutions, Toinard et al. have proposed a meta-policy approach whereby a statically-checked global policy controls dynamic changes to individual access rights. This approach combines the flexibility of decentralized and dynamic changes granted to users with the need for a global overview of information flow. This paper proposes an algorithmic solution harnessing the parallel-processing systempsilas own processing power.","PeriodicalId":363805,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Symposium on Collaborative Technologies and Systems","volume":"343 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124241542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For network-centric warfare (NCW) using complex systems, it is necessary to develop collaborative technological systems that function within a cybernetic organismic network (CON) according to holistic systems engineering and nonlinear stochastic processes. Consequently, there are differences between how issues and problems are processed. Issues are people-oriented problems that interfere with technology development. Problems are related to technology itself and can be more easily resolved. To develop collaborative technology systems that function within a CON and perform NCW requires holistic systems engineering and nonlinear reasoning about agents thinking, learning, and adapting accordingly.","PeriodicalId":363805,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Symposium on Collaborative Technologies and Systems","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116429033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Today these portals are mostly Java-based and therefore the Java Portlet specification 1.0 (JSR 168) has been widely adopted. Acting as Web components, portlets wrap relatively independent individual functionalities like grid proxy credential management and job submission. These components can then be aggregated for construction of portal pages. One of the key issues grid portals are facing now is that they are not as attractive as desktop applications because they lack instant response and complex visual effects. To address this, we are going to investigate asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX). AJAX is becoming increasingly popular in the Web development community, in particular, it is one of the key aspects of todaypsilas Web 2.0. In this paper, we will discuss how grid portals can benefit from AJAX so that more end-users could be attracted.","PeriodicalId":363805,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Symposium on Collaborative Technologies and Systems","volume":"212 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133759327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As several thin clients access to the same host, conflicts or non interference problems can raise. Although techniques exist for improving security of a host, few papers present how to secure a remote desktop architecture. This paper describes how to provide for this architecture a good level of security with strong authentication, Single Sign On, anomaly and intrusion detection systems. In particular, a correlation system checks that each remote user session have a valid behaviour.

Further, the framework provides services to transparently manage the detection of new and lost peers. The message component of the framework makes it possible to exchange any kind of data between peers including Java objects. The Peer2Me has been implemented in Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) and runs on standard mobile phones.

The integrated information framework (I2F) was established to provide the services and resources necessary to support this interoperability between collaborative enterprise solutions utilized throughout the lifecycle of large scale live, virtual, and constructive (LVC) events. This interoperability allows AF-ICE community members to continue using their existing collaborative systems for local development of work products, while also contributing to the development of work products across organizational boundaries and systems. The I2F provides a focused virtual work environment tying together people and assets necessary to support various MS&A activities and includes an interoperable document management system, a community of practice knowledge sharing capability, adaptive MS&A event management process workflows/descriptions, and an adaptive, knowledge database/repository. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of I2F and its key concepts, an explanation of the concept of operations for distributed document management between collaborative systems, and information regarding the development of the initial operating capabilities realized through the specification of an interoperability services framework that standardizes communication between the I2F and collaborative systems.","PeriodicalId":363805,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Symposium on Collaborative Technologies and Systems","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127717497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It harnesses existing technologies including P2P, Java, and the universal description, discovery, and integration (UDDI) registry to enable distributed processing of tasks on multiple servers. It is well-suited to the heterogeneous environment on the Internet and can lead to the development of more commercial P2P computing applications.
