Designing reusable systems that can handle change- description-driven systems: Revisiting object-oriented principles (2014)
Presentation / Conference
McClatchey, R., Branson, A., & Shamdasani, J. (2014, April). Designing reusable systems that can handle change- description-driven systems: Revisiting object-oriented principles. Paper presented at 9th International Conference on the Evaluation of Novel Approaches to Software Engineering (ENASE’14), Lisbon, Portugal

In the age of the Cloud and so-called Big Data systems must be increasingly flexible, reconfigurable and adaptable to change in addition to being developed rapidly. As a consequence, designing systems to cater for evolution is becoming critical to th...

CRISTAL-ISE: Provenance applied in industry (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Shamdasani, J., Branson, A., McClatchey, R., Blanc, C., Martin, F., Bornand, P., …Emin, P. (2014, April). CRISTAL-ISE: Provenance applied in industry. Paper presented at 16th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems (ICEIS), Lisbon, Portugal

This paper presents the CRISTAL-iSE project as a framework for the management of provenance information in industry. The project itself is a research collaboration between academia and industry. A key factor in the project is the use of a system kno... Read More about CRISTAL-ISE: Provenance applied in industry.

A description driven approach for flexible metadata tracking (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Branson, A., Shamdasani, J., & McClatchey, R. (2013, November). A description driven approach for flexible metadata tracking. Paper presented at 7th ESA International Conference on Ensuring Long-Term Preservation and Adding Value to Scientific and Technical Data (PV 2013), Frascati, Italy

Evolving user requirements presents a considerable software engineering challenge, all the more so in an environment where data will be stored for a very long time, and must remain usable as the system specification evolves around it. Capturing the d... Read More about A description driven approach for flexible metadata tracking.

Towards provenance and traceability in CRISTAL for HEP (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Shamdasani, J., Branson, A., & McClatchey, R. (2013, October). Towards provenance and traceability in CRISTAL for HEP. Paper presented at 20th International Conference on Computing in High Energy and Nuclear Physics (CHEP13)., Amsterdam, Netherlands

Traceability is an important feature of workflow based systems, and is a key source of provenance data. This paper presents CRISTAL, a mature software platform developed and used at CERN for experiment construction at the LHC. It is entirely workflow...

Towards provenance and traceability in CRISTAL for HEP (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Shamdasani, J., Branson, A., & McClatchey, R. (2013, October). Towards provenance and traceability in CRISTAL for HEP. Paper presented at 20th International Conference on Computing in High Energy and Nuclear Physics (CHEP13), Amsterdam, Netherlands

This paper discusses the CRISTAL object lifecycle management system and its use in provenance data management and the traceability of system events. This software was initially used to capture the construction and calibration of the CMS ECAL detector... Read More about Towards provenance and traceability in CRISTAL for HEP.

The Case for Cloud Service Trustmarks and Assurance-as-a-Service (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Lynn, T., Healy, P., McClatchey, R., Morrison, J., Pahl, C., & Lee, B. (2013, May). The Case for Cloud Service Trustmarks and Assurance-as-a-Service. Paper presented at 3rd Int Conf on Cloud Computing and Services Science (CLOSER), Aachen, Germany

Cloud computing represents a significant economic opportunity for Europe. However, this growth is threatened by adoption barriers largely related to trust. This position paper examines trust and confidence issues in cloud computing and advances a ca... Read More about The Case for Cloud Service Trustmarks and Assurance-as-a-Service.

neuGRID is an EC-funded project driven by the needs of the Alzheimer's disease research community that aims to facilitate the collection and archiving of large amounts of imaging data coupled with a set of generalized services and algorithms. By taki... Read More about A service oriented analysis environment for neuroimaging studies.

Risk-driven compliant access controls for clouds (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Rahmouni, H. B., Munir, K., Odeh, M., & McClatchey, R. (2011, December). Risk-driven compliant access controls for clouds. Paper presented at Proceedings of the International Arab Conference on Information Technology (ACIT 2011), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

There is widespread agreement that cloud computing have proven cost cutting and agility benefits. However, security and regulatory compliance issues are continuing to challenge the wide acceptance of such technology both from social and commercial st...

Towards context caching in the clouds (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Liaquat Kiani, S., Anjum, A., Antonopoulos, N., Munir, K., & McClatchey, R. (2011, December). Towards context caching in the clouds. Paper presented at International Workshop on Intelligent Techniques and Architectures for Autonomic Clouds (ITAAC 2011), co-located with 4th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC 2011), Melbourne, Australia

Context information is traditionally collected from distributed digital artifacts and services and made available to similarly distributed, and often mobile, context consuming applications via context brokers or servers. Contextual data has a strong... Read More about Towards context caching in the clouds.
