Abstract

Accountability is crucial for any computer system. It assures that every action executed in the system can be traced back to some entity. Accountability for grid computing systems is even more crucial given the very large number of users and active entities in these systems. However, so far no comprehensive approach to accountability for grid systems exists. Our work addresses such lack by developing a comprehensive accountability system driven by policies and supported by accountability agents. This paper first discusses the requirements that have driven the design of our accountability system. It then presents the key elements of our approach, namely the accountability data, the accountability policy language, and the agents.
