+91-1596-245073 Ext. 335 E-mail: tahul@bits-pilani.ac.in Project Information: Problem Statement: In recent years (particularly since 1998 when the RFC
2460 was published by the IETF as the revised IPv6 Specification) a lot of
good work has been done in the areas of IPv6-enabling of existing
applications, development of new IPv6-aware applications (particularly with
enhanced security and mobility support) and evolution of IPv4 to IPv6
migration strategies etc. Similarly, a lot of work has been done in Grid
computing area. However, except for a few large-scale international projects
like the NSF-supported Telescience project, there has been no research
project that joins IPv6 and Grid Computing together. This project, therefore would aim at using IPv6-aware Grid
Computing applications atop Microsoft-specific OS-based Grid Computing
Infrastructure and enable early researchers and developers in this area to
get their work evaluated for performance, compatibility, interoperability and
security while focusing on the IPv6-specific and Application-specific QoS
requirements. The project shall be important from at least two
viewpoints: a)- providing one of world's first research-based performance
evaluation facilities in this domain; and, b)- creating an awareness amongst
the developers and early adapters of IPv6 on the power that can be harnessed
by the increasingly ubiquitous computing exploitable by the Grid-based
applications. This project is a major component
of a larger project at BITS-Pilani entitled “The Grid-One Project: An
IPv6-QoS-aware Grid Computing Initiative”. Expected outcomes : Research reports, workshop training
material and short papers that could be used by the researchers, software
developers and university students worldwide. As of now, no IPv6-specific
report / data is available in the open literature for QoS-aware
Grid-Computing Applications. How will the results of this project be disseminated to
others? Results shall be disseminated to
others through the project website, workshops and seminars. Duration: Two years. This project is a major component
of a larger project at BITS-Pilani entitled “The Grid-One Project: An
IPv6-QoS-aware Grid Computing Initiative”. This project has several operating
environments and the Microsoft's select Operating Systems and Linux-based
environments comprise two major components. Use of Funds Purchase of hardware (servers, racks, interconnection devices and a
few front-end devices to allow setting up a small grid-computing facility),
“Indicative Monetary Award” to project students based on their work
performance on a competitive basis and purchase of third-part software, if
needed. Other Support
List other contributions to this project (cash, goods or services), if any. Right now, none. Qualifications of Principal Investigator Qualification: Ph.
