Secure Semantic Grids

Abstract

This chapter first describes the developments in semantic grids and then discusses the security aspects. Semantic grids integrate Semantic Web and grid technologies. They also integrate knowledge management with Semantic Web and the grids. There is much interest on applying the semantic grid for many applications in science and engineering. Therefore, it is critical that the semantic grids be secure. We will also discuss Semantic Web mining and privacy implications relevant to semantic grids.
