Highlights
AssessGrid is software!
Methods and algorithms elaborated in the projects are put into action in software for Risk Management. The project released its first prototype in fall 2007. The second prototype was delivered during summer 2008. Final result of the project was available in February 2009.
As it is intended for reuse in other projects, the project also provides separately the Negotiation Manager for WS-Agreement protocol.
All the source code is released as Open Source under Apache V2 license.
