Application Layer Active Networks (ALAN) allow quick and efficient deployment, on the active servers, of user-customised services (proxylets). Programmability above the transport layer makes this approach distinct form other active network initiatives. This scenario raises the issues of efficient resource management on the active server. Moreover, the deployment of user-specified processes has to be highly secure so as not to harm the active server operator platform. The 1ST project ANDROID is…

Application level active network (alan) server management architecture
TLDR
The architecture allowing efficient resource and security control is presented, including detaileduml diagrams capturing the management functionality, as well as a set of concrete management policies for thealan scenario.
Active Robust Resource Management in Cluster Computing Using Policies
TLDR
An approach based on policy concepts is adopted, allowing support for active, dynamic adaptability in network elements, services and end-user applications, as well as achieving decentralization and distribution in emerging communications and computing paradigms such as Active Networks and the Grid.
SORD: Self-Organizing Resource Discovery Protocol for ALAN
TLDR
The protocol is fully distributed and is based on the neighbour lists and small world topologies and was prototyped and first tested in the context of the ANDROID project – thus, this paper also describes the ANDroID management architecture.
Enabling Adaptive Grid Scheduling and Resource Management
TLDR
A suite of measurement applications able to monitor per-process resource utilisation, and a customisable tool for emulating observed utilisation models are presented, and the future work on a predictive and probabilistic Grid scheduler is outlined.
Autonomous grid scheduling using probabilistic job runtime forecasting
TLDR
The thesis demonstrates that deadline scheduling of computational jobs on the Grid is achievable using statistical forecasting of job execution times based on historical information and is well suited for implementation in the utility Grids of the future.
Self-Organising management of Grid environments
This paper presents basic concepts, architectural principles and algorithms for efficient resource and security management in cluster computing environments and the Grid. The work presented in this…

Policy-based management for ALAN-enabled networks
TLDR
The architecture, policy schema, and policy specifications necessary to accomplish effective management of the application level active networking (ALAN) environment are presented and preliminary results were demonstrated during the trial.
Policy-Based Resource Management for Application Level Active Networks
TLDR
This work develops resource models and metrics that take into account three categories: bandwidth, memory and processing in an active networking environment and defines the necessary classes of policies in order to achieve efficient resource management.
Integrity and Security of the Application Level Active Networks
TLDR
The candidate approach to managing the integrity issues in ALANenabled networks is discussed, and some integrity-oriented techniques are reflected on, as well as the ANDROID security architecture is described.
A XML based Policy-Driven Information Service
TLDR
The design and architecture of a prototype implementation of a XML based policy-driven information server and the use of XML as a vendor, implementation and operating system neutral means of describing system events and system management policies are described.
Ponder: A Language for Specifying Security and Management Policies for Distributed Systems
TLDR
This document defines a declarative, object-oriented language for specifying policies for the security and management of distributed systems in EBNF and provides simple examples of the constructs.
Active Information Networks and XML
TLDR
Application layer active networking, perhaps the most pragmatic and immediately realisable active network proposal, is a potential solution to all three key needs and combining eXtensible Markup Language and Application Layer Active Networking yields strong benefits for networked services.
