Future work (CoreGRID)

The experience with GlueDomains continues within the European CoreGRID project.

Within this frame, we are re-designing GlueDomains in order to keep into accout issues that were set aside during the design of the first prototype:

• full awareness of scalability problems;

  the scalability premises of the basic idea were not fully implemented in the first prototype (a centralized database was used to keep configuration data);

  ping like, full mesh sessions do not scale (traffic grows with the square);

• full awareness of security issues:

  password based security of the database is insufficient;

  on demand sessions need identification tools.
