SciencePAD is currently in its early design and prototyping phase. Most of the functionality of this site is under development and it is not as automated or user friendly as we plan it to be for the final production version. Your contributions to the site with new registrations of users, organizations, collaborations and software, comments and new ideas are warmly welcome. For more information make sure to check the current SciencePAD Roadmap
The D-Net Software Kit is an Open Source service-oriented solution for the construction of customized Data Infrastructures. D-NET provides a service-oriented framework where data infrastructures can be constructed in a LEGO-like approach, by selecting and properly combining into data processing workflows the D-NET services required.

The Argus Authorization Service renders consistent authorization decisions for distributed services (e.g., user interfaces, portals, computing elements, storage elements). The service is based on the XACML standard, and uses authorization policies to determine if a user is allowed or denied to perform a certain action on a particular service. The Argus Authorization Service is composed of three main components:
YAIM (YAIM Ain't an Installation Manager) is, as the name suggests, a way of configuring Grid Services. The aim of YAIM is to provide a simple installation and configuration method that can be used to set up a simple Grid Site but can be easily adapted and extended to meet the need of larger sites. To ensure that local administrators can adapt YAIM, it has been implemented as a set of bash scripts. To support th
A Federated Service Endpoint Registry conceived during the EMI project. Its main goal is to discover all the Service Endpoints that exist. It consists of a collection of services that enables storing service records in a federated manner. Each of the record contains Service Endpoint Record (SER) according to the GLUE 2.0 standard. The deployment of EMIR (which implies building an EMIR network over WAN) is bipartite: 1) Building a rooted hierarchy with a single EMIR server aggregating all the information within a federation 2) Sharing the information at the root level among peered EMIR servers
The Hydra Key storage system comprises a service and clients to create, store, retrieve and manipulate encryption keys. The service is a series of key storage services, running on Tomcat. The clients are command line interfaces that connect to the key stores and allow users to perform the basic actions. Files may also be encrypted and decrypted.
The Advanced Resource Connector (ARC) middleware integrates computing resources (usually, computing clusters managed by a batch system or standalone workstations) and storage facilities, making them available via a secure common Grid layer. In the past this middleware was called NorduGrid middleware, since it is being developed by the NorduGrid Collaboration. This software solution uses Grid technologies to enable sharing and federation of computing and storage resources distributed across different administrative and applica
ETICS stands for "eInfrastructure for Testing, Integration and Configuration of Software". ETICS is both a software product and a software service to help software developers, managers and users to better manage complexity and improve the quality of their software. Our service allows you to fully automate the way your software is built and tested. ETICS provides software professionals with an "out-of-the-box" build and test system, powered with a build and test product repository. The software is multi-platform and open s
