    Meeting the design challenges of nano-CMOS electronics: an introduction to an upcoming EPSRC pilot project
    Sinnott, R. ; Asenov, A. ; Berry, D. ; Cumming, D. ; Furber, S. ; Millar, C. ; Murray, A. ; Pickles, S. ; Roy, S. ; Tyrell, A. ; Zwolinksi, M. (National e-Science Centre, 2006)
    The years of ‘happy scaling’ are over and the fundamental challenges that the semiconductor industry faces, at both technology and device level, will impinge deeply upon the design of future integrated circuits and systems. This paper provides an introduction to these challenges and gives an overview of the Grid infrastructure that will be developed as part of a recently funded EPSRC pilot project to address them, and we hope, which will revolutionise the electronics design industry.

    Experiences of using the GGF SAML Authz interface
    SINNOTT, RICHARD ; Chadwick, David (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, 2004)
    The BRIDGES project has been funded by the UK Department of Trade and Industry to develop a Grid infrastructure suitable for the research activities involved in the Wellcome Trust funded Cardiovascular Functional Genomics (CFG) project. The CFG project is investigating possible genetic causes of hypertension. Key requirements on this infrastructure are to link various distributed biomedical data sources together; to transparently address the different security requirements associated with those data resources, and develop tools for analysing and exploring those data sets. In this paper we discuss the security solutions that the BRIDGES team is pursuing through the first practical exploration of Global Grid Forum Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) AuthZ interface to an authorisation infrastructure (PERMIS) using Globus Toolkit version 3 technology.
