Automatic Network Services Aligned with Grid Application Requirements in CARRIOCAS Project (Invited Paper)

Automatic Service framework named Scheduling, Reconfiguration and Virtualization (SRV) is developed in CARRIOCAS project to enhance existing Telecom network infrastructures for supporting grid applications sharing IT resources interconnected with ultra-high performance optical networks. From the requirements of Grid applications a classification is propo- sed to specify the network services and their attributes. In large-scale collaborative environments, SRV solution is described to enable automatic network service operations according to high-performance computing service access. The resources hosted at datacenters are virtualized to be attached to transport network infrastructure offering uniform interfaces towards external customers. New level of service bindings is defined with network services du- ring executions of Grid applications' workflows. On-demand intensive com- puting and visualization services scenario is described in Telecom environment.
