Other new projects supporting nanoCMOS

• OMII-Security Portlets to developing family of
  JSR-168 compliant portlets for
• scoping of attributes, e.g. only accept
  Shibboleth attributes and assertions from
  nanoCMOS partners
• dynamic portal configuration management, e.g.
  configure portal content based on user privileges
  (security attributes)
• attribute release policies, e.g. only release my
  nanoCMOS specific attributes to nanoCMOS partners
• OMII-RAVE
• With Cardiff University to integrate Resource
  Aware Visualisation Environment into OMII
• Visualisation key component and will help
  computational steering

No scoping!

Representative Scenario
Workflow for 90nm MOSFET using Taurus with
specific dopant concentration generating I-V
curves to be fed into Aurora parameter extraction
tool which will generate SPICE input files,
Which, when simulated, will drive a
visualisation application

Open Issues

• Workflows Security
• Security of license trails
• Security of resource usage trails
• Security of data trails
• Definition Enactment

Next wins planning

• Scaling existing system to support larger jobs
• Standard Cell Libraries (integration of Cadence)?
• Data management framework
