Break-out Group Three (41GX)
{nid 41KG}
Governance in Virtual Communities
* Virtual organizations
* QUAHSI from EPA
* Organizations that work together online
* Responsibilities
* AAAS for development of PerfSONAR
* Open Grid Forum
* Get private and public key into authentication for governance in data flow and interaction - easier to find the bottlenecks
* Incoming administration putting pressure on transparency to make information readily available quickly
* How do we get ready to put all the information up?
* Security concerns - privacy policies yet sharable data
* Based on measurement
* Data and performance linked tighter
* PerfSONAR usage
* Science networks going forward with using PerfSONAR
* Concern: What extent will networks be willing to share data and how will AAAS effect conformity
* Reduce need for "roles" and "profiles" in authentication
* Strong monitoring tool
* Makes diagnosing network problem more automatic and reduces time to resolve problem
* Not much overhead - some for quality control
* Most data archived locally
* Authentication protocols
* Many already developed
* Who determines oversight in program like PerfSONAR?
* Who bears the cost? - determine costs, takes responsibility
* i.e. Visualization packets at where the data is created and only a subset coming to desktop
* Need to work out business model if to be expanded in future
* Technical architecture
* Recommend to FEA for evaluation to see how this program fits into broader intergovernmental use
* TRM currently holding place for standard federal approach to technical processes
* ET.gov catalog for technical services
* Operational purposes
* Offer data for decision-makers (climate, financial)
* Terabytes of live-data
* Probably distributed, but not personal
* Even supercomputer are gridded
* Knowledge management
* RSS feeds - often inundated - how to control?
* Fingerprinting - only get what you really need (taking fire hydrant to a spicket) (41KH)
