Abstract
The management of computing grids is required in order to allow the proper operation of the grid services offered to users. However, the management of the underlying network infrastructure, which supports the grid communications, is proceeded through different management systems than those used for the grid management. In this scenario, an integrated management of grids and networks could turn the maintenance processes easier. This paper proposes an hierarchical policy-based architecture whose goal is to allow such desired integration. In the architecture proposed grid policies are translated to network policies following mapping rules defined by network administrators. The paper also describes a prototype implemented based on the architecture.
