Application Specification Language (ASL) - A Language for Describing Applications in Grid Computing.
Enis Afgan,Purushotham Bangalore +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a new grid language called Application Specification Language (ASL), which allows application developers to describe their individual applications, and provides examples of language use showing how adoption of ASL alleviates some of the deployment and runtime difficulties.

Custos: Security Middleware for Science Gateways
Isuru Ranawaka,Suresh Marru,Juleen Graham,Aarushi Bisht,Jim Basney,Terry Fleury,Jeff Gaynor,Dimuthu Wannipurage,Marcus Christie,Alexandru Mahmoud,Enis Afgan,Marlon Pierce +11 more
TL;DR: Custos is introduced, a software framework that provides common security operations for science gateways, including user identity and access management, gateway tenant profile management, resource secrets management, and groups and sharing management through a language-independent Application Programming Interface that encapsulates science gateway usage scenarios.
Book ChapterDOI
Grid resource broker using application benchmarking
TL;DR: The design and prototyping of such a resource broker that not only selects a matching resource based on user specified criteria but also uses the application performance characteristics on the resources enabling the user to execute applications transparently and efficiently thereby providing true virtualization is described.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
CloudBridge: a Simple Cross-Cloud Python Library
TL;DR: An open source Python library called CloudBridge is described that provides a simple, uniform, and extensible API for multiple clouds, allowing applications to confidently utilize any of the supported clouds without any cloud-specific code or testing.
System Acceptance Report for NSF award 1445604 ”High Performance Computing System Acquisition: Jetstream - A Self-Provisioned, Scalable Science and Engineering Cloud Environment”
Craig A. Stewart,David Y. Hancock,Matthew W. Vaughn,Nirav Merchant,John Michael Lowe,Jeremy Fischer,Lee Liming,James Taylor,Enis Afgan,George Turner,C. Bret Hammond,Edwin Skidmore,Michael Packard,Ian Foster +13 more
TL;DR: The first production cloud resource supporting general science and engineering research within the XD ecosystem is Jetstream as discussed by the authors, which will become available for production use in 2016 and will aid thousands of researchers who need modest amounts of computing power interactively.
