Dynamically authorized role-based access control for grid applications

Grid computing is concerned with the sharing and coordinated use of diverse resources in distributed “virtual organizations”. The heterogeneous, dynamic and multi-domain nature of these environments makes challenging security issues that demand new technical approaches. Despite the recent advances in access control approaches applicable to Grid computing, there remain issues that impede the development of effective access control models for Grid applications. Among them there are the lack of context-based models for access control, and reliance on identity or capability-based access control schemes. An access control scheme that resolve these issues is presented, and a dynamically authorized role-based access control (D-RBAC) model extending the RBAC with context constraints is proposed. The D-RABC mechanisms dynamically grant permissions to users based on a set of contextual information collected from the system and user's environments, while retaining the advantages of RBAC model. The implementation architecture of D-RBAC for the Grid aplication is also described.     

遥感图像分割的迭代上下文融合小波域HMT模型

由于已有小波域HMT(hidden Markov tree)图像分割算法在上下文融合阶段直接对数据块大小不等的相邻两尺度进行信息融合,导致细节信息分割不充分。为此,提出一种基于迭代上下文融合的小波域HMT模型图像分割算法。该算法在上下文融合阶段采用迭代融合方法,将每一尺度的融合结果作为该尺度的上下文信息再次融合,并设置变化阈值作为迭代终止条件。利用Brodatz纹理组合图像和Formosat-2遥感图像进行分割试验。定性和定量分析表明本文算法能改善图像分割的细节效果,进一步提高图像分割精度。
