Notes

  1. 1.

    CIM (Consumer Identity Module) analogous to SIM card but based on CBM.

  2. 2.

    Within this context, an administrative authority has a central control of entire Grid resources. Traditionally, this is a single organization, but actually, nothing prohibits two or more organizations to let their computational resources be under the control of a single organization.

  3. 3.
