UK e-Science ALL HANDS MEETING 2008

Last week I was present at the AHM in Edinburgh. Amongst other cool things were talks from Andrew Martin and from Ross Anderson. Andrew's defence of the fact that security specialists should work together to come up with practical solutions (e.g. patterns, guidelines, scenarios) rather than work in their own corner was spot on.

The AssessGrid project demo along with the poster by Karim Djemame were also interesting. I'm working on similar issues of negotiation of non functional properties and I hope to have the chance to discuss more of this with Karim in the futur.

John and Paul's talks [1, 2] went well and it was good to see what they've been up to in more details.

Finally, my talk [3] went rather well, although I was disapointed by the low attendence.

[1] A Peer-to-Peer Database Server based on BitTorrent
[2] An Adaptive Distributed Query Processor for e-Science using Dynamic Service Deployment
[3] A semi autonomic infrastructure to manage non functional properties of a service
