Abstract

We investigate approaches for the automated configuration of distributed Grid services. In particular, we implement several approaches for combining configuration information specified by a group of collaborating institutions (a Virtual Organization or VO) with local configuration parameters. We describe our implementation of merging strategies for configuring the Globus Replica Location Service. Based on our initial work, we describe outstanding issues for merging local and VO configuration policies and for resolving conflicting policies.
