Internet Sharing

Cyberinfrastructure Systems Group (CISG)


The CISG is a group of Purdue computer systems faculty, interested in developing Purdue's next generation infrastructure for Network Computing (a.k.a. Grid Computing or Internet Sharing). The main goal of the infrastructure is to enable research in the topic areas, such as
  • Resource discovery and publication
  • Resource mapping
  • User models and semantics for Internet Sharing
  • Peer-to-peer technology for Internet Sharing
  • Virtual machine technology for protection and service abstraction

    To the extent possible, the developed research infrastructure is made available as a Network Computing / Internet Sharing platform for use by the Purdue and larger Community. However, deployment is not the primary goal. We seek collaborative efforts with deployment projects.

    The new infrastructure builds on our experiences with the development of the PUNCH and Netcare projects. These early efforts are the origins of a number of current projects, including the nanoHUB, serving the Nanotechnology community.

    The CISG is developing computer systems technology enabling Cyberinfrastructures of the future. This is complementary to application-oriented Cyberinfrastructure efforts that build on computer systems technology.

    Involved projects:

  • iShare
  • GridCop
  • FRIENDS
    • The CISG is affiliated with Purdue's Advanced Computer System's Laboratory
