| Abstract | When investigating the performance of running scientific/commercial workflows in parallel and distributed systems, we often take into account only the resources allocated to the tasks constituting the workflow, assuming that computational resources will accept the tasks and execute them to completion once the processors are available. In reality, and in particular in Grid or e-business environments, security policies may be implemented in the individual organisations in which the computational resources reside. It is therefore expedient to have methods to calculate the performance of executing workflows under security policies. Authorisation control, which specifies who is allowed to perform which tasks when, is one of the most fundamental security considerations in distributed systems such as Grids. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), under which the users are assigned to certain roles while the roles are associated with prescribed permissions, remains one of the most popular authorisation control mechanisms. This paper presents a mechanism to theoretically compute the performance of running scientific workflows under RBAC authorisation control. Various performance metrics are calculated, including both system-oriented metrics, (such as system utilisation, throughput and mean response time) and user-oriented metrics (such as mean response time of the workflows submitted by a particular client). With this work, if a client informs an organisation of the workflows they are going to submit, the organisation is able to predict the performance of these workflows running in its local computational resources (e.g. a high-performance cluster) enforced with RBAC authorisation control, and can also report client-oriented performance to each individual user. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
