In this paper we present a vision of an environment composed of multiple independent cloud
providers of various sizes, interconnected by programmable networks in which tenants may …

In this paper we describe an architecture developed and prototyped in the course of the NSF-
funded project called ImPACT—Infrastructure for Privacy-Assured CompuTations. This …

A key dimension of reproducibility in testbeds is stable performance that scales in regular
and predictable ways in accordance with declarative specifications for virtual resources. We …

This paper presents the rationale and design of the trust plane for ImPACT, a federated
platform for managed sharing of restricted data. Key elements of the architecture include …

Federated clouds raise a variety of challenges for managing identity, resource access,
naming, connectivity, and object access control. This paper shows how to address these …

Research testbed fabrics have potential to support long-lived, evolving, interdomain
experiments, including opt-in application traffic across multiple campuses and edge sites …

One way to establish trust in a service is to know what code it is running. However, verified
code identity is currently not possible for programs launched on a cloud by another party …

This research work proposes the framework for seaport partners to interact on a semantic
level and scope related with jurisdictions/ecosystems and regions to share knowledge …

A trust rule between a first service and a second service in a plurality of services deployed in
a distributed system is received; the trust rule defines whether the first service is allowed to …

Networked infrastructure-as-a-service testbeds are evolving with higher capacity and more
advanced capabilities. Modern testbeds offer stitched virtual circuit capability, programmable …
