PALMS-CI: A Policy-driven Cyberinfrastructure For the Exposure Biology Community Barry Demchak and Ingolf California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology, San Diego Division Requirements Functional (FRs) Support research workflow Allow multiple investigators & studies Support community contribution of device profiles, calculations, visualizers Share raw data & processed results while maintaining provenance Quality (QRs) Dynamic access control Confidentiality and privacy (HIPAA/IRB) High availability and reliability Scalability (bandwidth/storage/users) Auditability Challenges Early Identification and modelling Stakeholders Quality requirements (QRs) Crosscutting concerns Policy Definition and Execution Agile development process Responsive to changing requirements Future-proof architecture Ease of maintainability and evolution while minimizing risk to operations Rich Services 3 Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Based on composite pattern (i.e., system-of-systems), messaging pattern, routing pattern, and role- based interactions, choreography Crosscutting concerns (including policy evaluation) as interceptors Agile Development Framework End-to-end model-driven approach Early & continuous identification and prioritization of crosscutting concerns Results Models Use cases, domain models, services Implementation Java-based Enterprise Service Bus Standards-based messaging Storage virtualization based on OSS Inversion of Control creates worker threads on demand Features Rapid incorporation of emergent data sources at low risk to existing users Seamless incorporation of novel intermediary services (e.g., policy) Easy integration w/new clients & CIs Scales easily to high usage while maintaining high performance Future improvements Policy-driven crosscutting concerns (e.g., IA & HIPAA, scaling, failure mitigation, self-configuration) Migration to cloud Functional Requirements (FRs) This material is based upon work supported by the National Institutes of Health under Grant No 1U01CA (Project PALMS: Kevin Patrick, PI) and the National Science Foundation under Grant No CCF f Cyberinfrastructures (CI) 2 f f PALMS f Science encompassing reliable information delivery to intended parties under appropriate circumstances. Defined by National Security Agency (NSA) as information availability, integrity, confidentiality, non-repudiation, and access control. Demanded by all or most CI stakeholders as a condition of participating in the CI. Information Assurance (IA) 1 References Store/organize Collect data Analyze Visualize Physical Activity Location Measurement System to understand where activity-related energy expenditure occurs in humans as a function of time and space. Harvests data from wearable devices on small and large scales, provides framework for research and analysis, and has ultimate goal of discovering methods for engineering better health. An Internet-based research computing environment that supports data acquisition, data storage, data management, data integration, data mining, data visualization, and other computing and information processing services. Different stakeholders produce, consume, manage, and govern a CI, and their requirements must be simultaneously met or else the integrity of the CI degrades. 1. W. McNight.
