Abstract: The Globus team has spent more than a decade developing
software-as-a-service methods for research data management, available
at globus.org. Globus transfer, sharing, search, publication, identity
and access management (IAM), automation, and other services enable
reliable, secure, and efficient managed access to exabytes of
scientific data on tens of thousands of storage systems. For
developers, flexible and open platform APIs reduce greatly the cost of
developing and operating customized data distribution, sharing, and
analysis applications. With 200,000 registered users at more than
2,000 institutions, more than 1.5 exabytes and 100 billion files
handled, and 100s of registered applications and services, the
services that comprise the Globus platform have become essential
infrastructure for many researchers, projects, and institutions. I
describe the design of the Globus platform, present illustrative
applications, and discuss lessons learned for cyberinfrastructure
software architecture, dissemination, and sustainability.

Bio: Dr. Ian Foster is Senior Scientist and Distinguished Fellow, and
also director of the Data Science and Learning Division, at Argonne
National Laboratory, and the Arthur Holly Compton Distinguished
Service Professor of Computer Science at the University of
Chicago. Ian received a BSc degree from the University of Canterbury,
New Zealand, and a PhD from Imperial College, United Kingdom, both in
computer science. His research deals with distributed, parallel, and
data-intensive computing technologies, and innovative applications of
those technologies to scientific problems in such domains as materials
science, climate change, and biomedicine. Foster is a fellow of the
AAAS, ACM, BCS, and IEEE, and an Office of Science Distinguished
Scientists Fellow.
