Description

Radiatiotherapy is one of the main tools for treatment cancer disases, alone or together with other techniques. RadiotherapyGrid demonstration shows the usage of new remote computational-based tools to help medical physicists to plan the treatments: a verification tool based on Monte Carlo method and an optimization tool to end a suitable treatment plan for the doctor's prescriptions. Both tools use computational Grid resources to speed-up the calculations and to improve the security and trustworthness of the platform. In this demonstration, the integration of four modules is shown: GridWay, which has been enhanced with a new plugin which negotiates resources using BEinGRID SLA Negotiation component; a Policy Enforcement Point (Vordel's XML Gateway)which acts as a XML security gateway to check and validate service requests; and a Policy Decision Point (Axiomatics Policy Server) as an authorization server based on XACML standard.
