Blast in Grid (Big) is a Grid- enabled Blast ser vice that\nenables bioinformatic users to deal with datasets up to the ord er of hundreds of\nthousand sequences. Many efforts have been done in the literature concerning the\nspeeding up of Blast searches\, but few of them deal with the use of large\nheterogeneous production Grid Infrastructures .\nThese are the infrastructures that could reach the largest number of re sources and\nthe best load balancing for data access. The Grid Service und er development will\nanalyse requests based on the number of sequences\, s plitting them accordingly to the\navailable resources. \nLower-level compu tation will be performed through MPIBLAST. The software architecture\nis b ased on the WSRF standard.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py ?contribId=345&sessionId=130&confId=1504 LOCATION:CICG Conf.

Currently\, this is an\nextremely com plex \ntask that relies on over-provisioning of resources\, ad-hoc\nmonito ring and user \nintervention. We present the FailRank architecture\, a\ns imple yet powerful \nframework for integrating and ranking information sou rces\nthat characterize \nfailures in a grid system. In the FailRank archi tecture\,\nfeedback sources (e.g. \nwebsites\, LDAP queries\, representati ve low-level\nmeasurements\, etc) are \ncontinuously coalesced into a repr esentative array of\nnumeric vectors\, the \nFailShot Matrix (FSM). FSM i s then continuously ranked\nusing efficient top-k \nquery processing algor ithms in order to identify the K sites\nwith the highest \npotential to fe ature some failure. This allows system\nadministrators to focus \ntheir at tention on the sites with the highest potential to\nrun into failures and \nresource brokers to divert jobs away from the respective\nsites. We iden tify \nchallenges and preliminary solutions for a variety of\ncomplementar y tasks \nincluding exploratory data analysis and prediction.\n\nhttp://in dico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=191&sessionId=151&confId=150 4 LOCATION:CICG URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=191&sessionId=1 51&confId=1504 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:AMGA Web Interface DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060926T150000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060926T152000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T220252Z UID:indico-contribution-1504-190@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dr. SCIFO\, Salvatore (INFN Catania)\nAMGA Web Inter face is the implementation of the metadata\ninterface designed by the\nARD A team and it is the official metadata service of the\nEGEE gLite middlewa re. It\nprovides many interesting features: metadata organization in\na hi erarchical\nstructure\, users\, groups and ACLs handling with X509\ncertif icates/proxies support\,\npowerful SQL-like query language\, replications. However\,\ninteracting with the AMGA\nservices is not always user friendl y especially for the\nnon-expert users because the\nprovided clients are u nix command line tools and APIs. So\nthe need for a simple and\nuser frien dly interface to manage metadata with AMGA arises.\n \nWe thought to a web interface to achieve access from any\nplatform: the user just\nneeds a we b browser and a VOMS proxy to be authenticated to\nthe AMGA server. After a\nsuccessful login\, he will be able to browse the hierarchy of\nAMGA col lections\, to\ninspect their schema and permissions\, and to list their\ne ntries. He also has the\nability to create a new collection\, to define a metadata\nschema for it\,\nadd/edit/delete its entries\, and finally to pe rform queries\nagainst its attribute. In\nall the previous operations\, th e respect of the collection\nand entry permissions will\nbe guaranteed all owing users to access information for\nwhich he is actually\nauthorized\, thanks to the underlying usage of the AMGA APIs.\n\n\nIn future versions\ , a module to handle users and groups will\nbe added. At the moment\,\na u ser needs to own an account in the underlying AMGA\nserver\, and he can on ly set\npermissions and ACLs per collection\, granting access to\nalready existent AMGA groups.\n\nAMGA WI is a J2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition) web \napplication developed with pure\nJava technologies (Java Servlet\, Java Server Pages\, Custom\nTag Libraries). The\napplication design follows the standard multi-layer web\napplication architecture\nconsisting of a data presentation layer\, a logic application\nlayer and a data access\nlayer. All these layers are built making use of the official\nAMGA Java APIs.\n \ nThe data presentation layer consists of all web pages that\nmake users ab le to access\nall provided features. These pages have a dynamic contents\, \naccording to the data\nstored into the AMGA Server backend. The web page s work with\nboth logic components to\nperform data manipulation and with access components to\nretrieve and publish data.\n \nThe logic application layer is made up by all the software\nmodules that encapsule the\nimpleme ntation of the provided feautures (metadata handling\nand manipulation). E very\nAMGA logical entity (collection\, entry\, attribute\,..) is\nmapped to a specific\nsoftware module. This ensures a very clean and simple\nsoft ware architecture with an\nhigh degree of cohesion and decoupling. These c omponents\nwork as services invoked by\nthe overlying web pages.\n \nThe d ata access layer implements all the software components\nthan ensure the d ata\nextraction from the AMGA server. \nThese components work as services invoked by the web pages\nand they provide a\nmechanism to retrieve data a nd publish dynamic content.\n \nA working beta version will be showed duri ng the demo\nsession at EGEE 06 conference.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contr ibutionDisplay.py?contribId=190&sessionId=149&confId=1504 LOCATION:CICG URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=190&sessionId=1 49&confId=1504 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:XtremWeb-CH : Towards a true Peer-To-Peer platform for High Perfor mance Computing DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060926T120000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060926T122000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T220252Z UID:indico-contribution-1504-193@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Prof. ABDENNADHER\, Nabil (University of Applied Sci ences Geneva. (HES-SO))\nXtremWeb-CH (www.xtremwebch.net) is an applied re search\nproject carried out at the \nUniversity of Applied Sciences\, West ern Switzerland.\nXtremWeb-CH aims at building an \neffective Peer-To-Peer Large Scale Distributed System for\nhigh performance needs. A \ntypical X tremWeb-CH platform is composed of one coordinator\nand several workers \n (remote resources). The coordinator is a three-tier layer\nallowing “con nection” between \nthe users of high performance applications and the wo rkers.\nXtremWeb-CH supports four functionalities:\n1. Volatility of worke rs: When a worker voluntarily or\ninvoluntarily disappears\, the \ntask al located to it is automatically assigned to another\nworker.\n2. Automatic execution of Parallel and Distributed\nApplications: a high \nperformance application is generally composed of a set of\ncommunicating tasks. \nXtre mWeb-CH insures the automatic transfer of data between\nworkers executing \ncommunicating tasks.\n3. Direct communication between workers: Communica tion\nbetween tasks can \ntake place without passing through the coordinat or. The\ncoordinator keeps only the \nresponsibility of assigning tasks to workers.\n4.

For the past few years\, LHCb has always been one of th e top users \nof LCG resources gathering considerable experience in distri buted computing at \na large scale. The central part of the system is DIRA C (Distributed Infrastructure \nwith Remote Agent Control)\, which is the experiment gateway to the Grid \nenvironment. The aim of this work is to p resent a preliminary experience from \nthis ongoing DC06 and its goals\, d escribing the DIRAC system\, the \nperformances achieved\, and the problem s observed.\nThe DC06 has started in August 2006 and it is expected to con tinue until the \nend of September. \nWe will therefore describe the achie vements and the plans for the continuation \nof this activity.\n\nhttp://i ndico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=192&sessionId=131&confId=15 04 LOCATION:CICG Conf.

High-Energy\nPhysics (notably \nthe exper iments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN)\,\nBiomedical applications\, \nEarth Observation\, Computational Chemistry and Nuclear\nFusion are depe nding \non the EGEE infrastructure. \nThe computational and storage capabi lity of the Grid is\nattracting more scientific \nand innovative applicati ons. In this contribution we would\nlike to demonstrate \nthe status of th e EGEE-UNOSAT collaboration. \nUNOSAT is a United Nations activity to prov ide access to\nsatellite imaginary and \ngeographic system services for hu manitarian operations to\nplan rescue or aid \nactivities. UNOSAT is imple mented by the UN Institute for\nTraining and Research \n(UNITAR) and manag ed by the UN Office for Project Services\n(UNOPS). In \naddition\, partner s from public and private organizations\nconstitute the UNOSAT \nconsortiu m. Among these partners\, CERN participates actively\nproviding the \ncomp utational and storage resources needed for their images\nanalysis. Indeed \nthrough its partnership with CERN\, UNOSAT is spearheading\nthe use of Grid \napplications for access to the images and use of\ndecentralized Geo graphic \nInformation systems (GIS). \nBased on two successful CERN-UNOSAT pilot projects (data \nstorage/compression/download and image access thro ugh mobile\nphone)\, \nUNOSAT is seeking to consolidate the considerable w ork\nundertaken so far in \nthe present activity. \nThe use case we would like to demonstrate is the delivery of\nsatellite images \nfrom the Grid t o a portal (web and portable devices). In\nparticular\, we would \nlike to enable the selection and download of satellite\nimages starting on a \npo rtable device (using the GPS coordinates provided by the\ndevice itself). The \nsystem provides seamless access to valuable satellite images\nwhile preserving \nthe security requirements of the data provider and of the\nEG EE infrastructure \n(use of X509 certificates).\nThe system uses EGEE serv ices already used by other\napplications and our \ndemo orchestrates them. The satellite images are catalogued\nby the AMGA \n(Metadata) and LFC (lo cation) services. The handling of images \n(compression/decompression\, cr opping\, etc…) is provided by\nthe computational \ngrid resources via th e EGEE workload management system.\nThis work is being performed in close collaboration with the\nNICE company\, \nproviding their EnginFrame techno logy (The technology used\nby Genius EGEE \nGrid portal as well\, for a de velopment and deployment\nenvironment for portal \napplications\, with sup port for secure access to Grid\nresources and a powerful \ntoolkit for app lication development). \nWe believe that this project is extremely interes ting for\nthe UNOSAT community \nand the collaboration schema would also b e very interesting\nas a model for \nother applications supported by EGEE II.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=108&sessionI d=149&confId=1504 LOCATION:CICG URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=108&sessionId=1 49&confId=1504 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:QA standards overview and Serono implementation choices and benefi ts DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060927T090000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060927T094500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T220252Z UID:indico-contribution-1504-109@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mr. THORN\, Serge (Serono International - Director I T Research & Innovation)\nThe first part of the presentation will introduc e QA \nstandards such as :\n- Service Management (ITIL\, ISO/IEC 20000-1/- 2:2005)\n- CMMi\n- Quality Management ISO 9001\,\n- Security Management IS O 2700\nThe second part will present Serono implementation \nchoices and b enefits\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=109&sess ionId=96&confId=1504 LOCATION:CICG Conf.

Drug resistance has emerged for all\nclasses of antimalarials \nexcept artemisinins. This example illustrates the real need\nfor new dru gs \nagainst neglected diseases.\nThere are millions of chemical compounds available\, but it\nis nearly impossible \nand very expensive to screen s uch a high number of compounds\nin the \nexperimental laboratories by high throughput screening.\nBesides the high \ncosts\, the hit rate is quite l ow [1]. An alternative is high\nthroughput virtual \nscreening by molecula r docking\, a technique which can screen\nmillions of \ncompounds rapidly\ , reliably and cost effectively. Screening\neach compound\, \ndepending on structural complexity\, can take from a few\nminutes to hours on a \nstan dard PC\, which means screening all compounds in a single\ndatabase can \n take years. Computation time can be reduced very\nsignificantly with a lar ge grid \ngathering thousands of computers [2].\n\nIn 2005\, for the first time\, we have been able to deploy\nlarge scale virtual \ndocking within the framework of the WISDOM initiative [3]\nagainst plasmepsin\, \nthe asp artic protease of Plasmodium\, responsible for the\ninitial cleavage of \n human haemoglobin [4]: more than 46 million ligands were\ndocked in less t han \n6 weeks using about 80 years of CPU on the EGEE [5]\ninfrastructure. Up to \n1700 computers were simultaneously used in 15 countries\naround t he world. \nCommercial software with a server license was successfully\nde ployed on more \nthan 1000 machines at the same time.\nAt the end of the l arge scale docking deployment\, 100\ncompounds have been \nselected for po st processing based on the docking score\, the\nbinding mode of \nthe comp ound inside the binding pocket and the interactions\nof the compounds \nto key residues of the protein [6]. Some of the compounds\nidentified were \ nsimilar to already known plasmepsin inhibitors\, like the\nUrea analogues which \nwere already established as micro molar inhibitors for\nplasmepsi ns. This \nindicates that the overall approach is sensible and large\nscal e docking on \ncomputational grids has real potential to identify new\ninh ibitors. In addition to \nthis the Guanidino analogues are very promising and most\nlikely to become a \nnovel class of plasmepsin inhibitors.\nThis success led to a second computing challenge targeting\nAvian Flu \nneuram inidase N1 that required more than 100 CPU years on\nthe EGEE\, \nAuvergri d and TWGrid infrastructures in April and May 2006\n[7]. Potential drug \n compounds against avian flu are now being identified and\nranked according to \nthe binding energies of the docked models. At least 50\ncompounds wi ll be \nassayed experimentally at identified laboratories.\n\nThe WISDOM p roduction environment was designed to achieve\nproduction of a \nlarge amo unt of data in a limited time using EGEE\, Auvergrid\nand TWGrid \nmiddlew are services. Three packages were developed in Perl\nand Java. Their \nent ry points are a simple command line tool. The first\npackage installs the \napplication components (software\, compounds database…) on\nthe grid \ ncomputing nodes. The second package tests these components.\nThe third \n package monitors the submission and the execution of the\nWISDOM jobs than k \nto the Workload Management System and the Data Management.\nThe used \ nproduction service is LCG-2.\n\nThis abstract has presented pioneering ac tivities in the\nfield of grid enabled \nvirtual screening against neglect ed and emerging diseases in\nEurope. These \nachievements demonstrated the relevance of large scale grids\nfor the drug \ndiscovery process and to e nable world-wide and\nmultidisciplinary collaboration. \nUsing the grid to identify the most promising leads for\nbiological tests speeds \nup the d evelopment process\, frees up medicinal chemists’\ntime\, and \nconcentr ates their biological assays in the laboratory on\nthe most promising \nco mponents.\n\nTo illustrate the grid impact\, a demonstration [8] will show \nthe number of \ncompounds that can be docked on several grid infrastruct ures\nduring the \nconference time. Thousands docking jobs are submitted a t the\nbeginning of the \nconference. The visitor can follow the progress of the\nexperiment during the \nconference time by a led display and sever al statistic\nfigures (success rate\, CPU \ndays consumed\, number of jobs vs. site…). \nThe strategy for virtual screening on the grid is present ed\nas well as the grid \ninfrastructures used. The demonstration visualiz ation will\nbe available during \nthe conference time on http://wisdom-dem o.healthgrid.org. It\nreceives the Best \nDemo Award during the Healthgrid 2006 conference. \n\n\n[1] R.W.

Since the\naccuracy of ipoperfusion maps is strictly r elated to the\nnumber of normal studies\ncompared to the test image\, a l arge set of images of normal\npatients is required for\nan accurate statis tical analysis. However\, due to ethical\nissues and to high costs of\nneu roimaging technologies\, PET/SPECT studies for normal\npatients are very r are.\nMoreover\, because of privacy and security issues\, the images\nof n ormal subjects\ncannot be freely moved between sites or published by the\n centre that collected them.\nAs a consequence\, only doctors working at ve ry large\ninstitutions\, locally owning\nlarge databases of normal images\ , can usually carry out\nSPM-based analyses. With our\napplication\, docto rs from small peripheral hospitals can\nremotely access large sets\nof nor mal PET/SPECT images provided by different medical\nresearch institutes an d\nextract the information needed for the statistical analysis\nwithout mo ving the\noriginal image files. Grid technologies allow easy access to\ndi stributed data as well\nas to distributed computational resources. In orde r to\nprovide a user friendly\ninterface\, remote access to SPM is being m ade available\nthrough the Italian Portal of\nNeuroinformatics. The portal contains a section entirely\ndedicated to the statistical\nanalysis of PE T/SPECT images\, accessible by authorized users\nonly. Directly from the\n portal\, any authorised user can upload the suspect AD image\,\nselect nor mal cases for\nstatistical calculation\, and eventually collect the result s\nof analysis.\nThe basic steps of the Grid implementation of the SPM por tal\nservice are listed below:\n1. Acquisition of the test image on the us er node\n2. Transfer of the test image to the management node\n3. Query on DB catalogue of normal images on the management node\n4. Transfer of a sm all software executable for information\nextraction to the\nrepository nod es\n5. Extraction from normal images of the information needed\nfor the st atistical analysis\n6. Transfer of the extracted information to the manage ment node\n7. SPM statistical analysis on the management node\n8. Transfer of SPM results to the user node\nIn many eHealth Grid applications\, the crucial point is a\nreliable and efficient data\nand metadata management. In our application this is needed\nfor identifying suitable\nnormal images across hospitals. From a data management point\nof view\, the mandatory\n requirements for the Grid implementation of the above\ndescribed SPM appli cation are\nthe following: \n- resources and services for the storage of P ET/SPECT images\non different Grid sites\;\n- data management services for the registration in a\ncatalogue and the association of\nmetadata to imag es.\nTwo different environments (gLite and AliEn) have been\nexperimented\ , especially as\nregards their functionalities concerning the management o f\nmetadata\, enabling\ninstitutions to choose the deployment that better fits their\nneeds and resources. In\nboth environments\, integration with the portal allows\nseamless GUI interaction with\nthe available functional ities from the catalogue\, the\nanalysis software and portal\nservices. Th rough the portal users can transparently exploit\nboth systems. Both\nenvi ronments have provided satisfactory results.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/cont ributionDisplay.py?contribId=99&sessionId=149&confId=1504 LOCATION:CICG URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=99&sessionId=14 9&confId=1504 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Deployment of a gLite-based Grid Platform at CETIC DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060926T093500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060926T094500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T220252Z UID:indico-contribution-1504-98@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dr. NAQVI\, Syed (CETIC-CoreGRID)\nContext:\nCentre of Excellence in Information and Communication\nTechnologies (CETIC) has a \ncluster of the following specifications:\n\nNumber of Nodes: 38\nN umber of Processors: 74\nRAM size: 160 GB\nDisk storage: 10 TB \n\nT his cluster will eventually be a part of the Belgian Grid.\nCETIC is seeki ng\nassistance from the EGEE project in the deployment and\nadministration of this Grid\nplatform.\n\n\nScientific Goals:\nThe Grid platform at CETI C will serve as a research test-bed\nto support\nexperimentations\, protot yping\, simulations\, and other\nassociated research activities.\nThe Grid platform will also be made accessible to companies\nfor testing and\nbenc hmarking purposes.\n\n \nDescription:\nAs the Belgian Grid is going to swi tch from LCG-2 to gLite\nmiddleware\, CETIC Grid\nwill have to opt for the same middleware – gLite. The CETIC\nGrid team's objectives\nstart from deploying a grid platform with a set of computing\nresources to administer it.\n\nGrid Added-value:\nBesides Belgian Grid (BEgrid)\, CETIC is a part ner of a\nnumber of European projects\nincluding Business Experiments in G rid (BEinGRID) [1] and\nHighly Predictable Clusters\nfor Internet Grids (H PC4U) [2]. These projects require Grid\nplatform to facilitate\nthe experi mentation of the envisioned pilot applications.\n\nPotential User Communit y:\nCETIC has active collaborations with Belgian companies and\nuniversiti es. Moreover\,\nCETIC is involved in a number of European projects [3].\nT here will be a broad\nspectrum of potential user community of CETIC Grid. It will\ncomprise of academics\,\nresearchers\, and industrial R&D teams.\ n\nEGEE Impact:\nEGEE consortium has rich expertise in the deployment of G rid\nplatforms. gLite is the\nmiddleware of the EGEE project. The experts from the EGEE\nconsortium are in the most\nfortunate position to provide a ssistance in the deployment\nand administration of a\ngLite-based Grid pla tform.\n\nGrid Services Needed:\nIt is difficult to quantify the set of Gr id services sought\nby the CETIC\, as the\nintended Grid platform will als o be made accessible to\ncompanies for testing and\nbenchmarking purposes and the required services will vary\nfor every experiment. In\nother words \, CETIC requires a comprehensive set of Grid\nservices for its activities .\n\nKey Issues:\nThe key issues include the successful deployment of a Gr id\nplatform\, its\nadministration\, and its integration with the Belgian Grid so\nthat experiments of the\nGrid projects can be performed\, CETIC ’s and its partners’\nresearchers can prototype\nand/or simulate their propositions. For example\, prototyping\nof secure fault tolerant\nreplic a generation mechanism for Grid-based data management\nsystems [4]. The Gr id\nplatform will also be made accessible to companies for\ntesting and be nchmarking purposes.\n\n\nReferences:\n1. Business Experiments in Grid – www.beingrid.com\n2.

A virtual digital library is a pool of\nresources dynamically\naggregated to meet the user requirements where these\nresour ces range from information\nsources to services exploiting computing and s torage Grid\ncapabilities. In addition\nto such main goal and to prove the viability of the released\ninfrastructure to meet\ntheir requirements and improve their daily work\, two user\ncommunities (ARTE and\nImpECt) belon ging to different application contexts have\nbeen selected. As a\nconseque nce\, DILIGENT is a project that sits over Grid and\nDigital Library (DL)\ ntechnologies and it is influenced by requirements arising in\nthe Cultura l Heritage\nand Earth Observation domains (the user communities). In\npart icular\, the project\nheavily relies on the concept of resources sharing b ecause\nthe foundational concept\nof virtual digital library has been envi saged by elaborating\non and cannot be\nimplemented without this Grid faci lity.\nBy providing to the user communities (i) the capability to\ndynamic ally create DL\, and\n(ii) to have access to an huge computing and storage \ncapability\, all this with an\nacceptable management cost\, DILIGENT pro mises to\nrevolutionise the way through which\njoint research is conducted and propose novel application\nscenarios. New kinds of\nfunctionality can be envisaged or improvement of already\nexisting functionality can\nbe im plemented\, the management of new kind of knowledge\nbecomes feasible\, ne w way to\norganise research processes can be implemented. \nIn such a scen ario EGEE plays a fundamental role. In fact\,\nbeing EGEE in charge to\npr ovide a big production quality Grid infrastructure serving\na myriad of\na pplications\, it represents the most attractive provider for\nan organised and ready\nto use pool of computing and storage facilities.\nThe Diligent project is currently testing the first\nprototype that will be delivered\ nby the end of September ’06. \nAccording to the Diligent implementation plan\, this version\nis not fully-fledged.\nRather it supports the basic DL functionalities required to\nsatisfy the main user\ncommunities’ requ irements.\nThe aim of this demo is to introduce the current Diligent\nprot otype through the\npresentation of the ImpECt and the ARTE application sce narios. \n\nThe ImpECt scenario (Implementation of Environmental\nConventi ons) demonstrates the\nuse of a grid-based digital library for Earth Scien ces.\n\nThe ImpECt digital library\, besides the Diligent basic\nservices\ , is currently\nproviding access to the following information sources and\ nservices:\n(1) a collection of processed satellite images showing the\nve getation index\;\n(2) a collection of digital objects about background\nin formation on MERIS\;\n(3) the MGVI (MERIS Global Vegetation Index) externa l service.\n\nThe sources together with their metadata are maintained by\n the DILIGENT content\nmanagement and metadata management\, and can be quer ied by\nregion\, time\, and content.\nThe MGVI service is integrated by me ans of the DILIGENT\nprocess management. In\naddition\, searches on extern al sources (e.g. Google) are\nsupported using the DILIGENT\nsearch facilit ies.\nSearch results can be browsed and used for generating\, for a\nparti cular time frame\nand location\, environmental reports based on a user-def ined\ntemplate. These\nuser-defined reports can then be saved and indexed in the\ndigital library as newly\navailable information. The user interfac e for search\, result\nbrowsing\, and report\ngeneration is realized by me ans of portlets hosted on a\nGridSphere portal. \n\nThe ARTE scenario demo nstrates the use of a grid-based\ndigital library for cultural\nheritage d omain. Its community\, represented by educational\ninstitutions (Schools\n and/or Universities) and by the Italian educational\nbroadcasting network\ , shares a\nset of archives with multimedia content with the aim to\ncombi ne them in complex\nlearning objects\, named courses. Once a course is bui lt\, it\nis stored and made\navailable to be reused in and adapted for new didactic\ncontexts. \nIn addition to the management of courses\, the ARTE DL\nprovides functionalities to\nstore\, manage\, and retrieve all kind o f information objects\nrelated to them\, such as\nimages\, texts\, audio/v ideo recording\, etc. \nThe current ARTE DL provides access to a number of community\nspecific information\nsources\, such as between the others\, t he "Progetto\nEmblemata. 'Con parola brieve e\ncon figura' Libri antichi d i imprese e di emblemi"\; “A\nCelebration Of Women Writers”\;\n“Arts And Humanities Data Service”\; “Bayerische”\; “Gallica”\;\n“P erseus”\; “Emblem\nProject Utrecht”\; “RAI Medita” collections. \nIn order to securely store and make available these set of\ncopyrighted information\nobjects on the Diligent Grid infrastructure\, the Diligent\nc ontent security facilities\nhave been largely used.\n\nhttp://indico.cern. ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=230&sessionId=149&confId=1504 LOCATION:CICG URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=230&sessionId=1 49&confId=1504 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:GPS@\, Web interface for Protein Sequence Analysis on Grid DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060926T150000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060926T152000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T220252Z UID:indico-contribution-1504-231@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dr. BLANCHET\, Christophe (Institut de Biologie et C himie des Protéines (IBCP UMR 5086)\; CNRS\; Univ. Lyon 1\;)\nBioinformat ics analysis of data produced by high-throughput\nbiology\, for instance g enome projects [1]\, is one of \nthe major challenges for the next years. Some of the\nrequirements of this analysis are to access up-to-date \ndata banks (of sequences\, patterns\, 3D structures\, etc.) and\nrelevant algor ithms (for sequence similarity\, multiple \nalignment\, pattern scanning\, etc.) [2]. Since 1998\, we are\ndeveloping the NPS@ Web server ([3]\, Net work \nProtein Sequence Analysis)\, that provides the biologist with\nmany of the most common resources for protein \nsequence analysis\, integrated into a common workflow. These\nmethods and data can be accessed through s imple \nweb browsing and HTTP connection\, or througth high-level\nbioinfo rmatics interface like MPSA program [4] or \nAntheProt [5].\nToday\, the c omputing resources available behind the NPS@ Web\nportal limit the capabil ities of our server\, as it is \nthe case also for other genomics and prot eomics Web portals.\nIndeed some methods are very computing-time \nand mem ory consuming. Our NPS@ portal is facing an\nincreasing demand of CPU and disk resources and the \nmanagement of numerous bioinformatics resources (algorithms\,\ndatabanks).\nNPS@ [3] is providing biologist with a Web for m to input\ntheir data (protein sequences) in order to run a BLAST \nanaly sis against a given protein sequence database. User\npastes his sequence o f protein in the corresponding \nfield. Then he chooses the database that will be scan with\nthe query sequence. All the protein databases available \non NPS@ can be selected through a multi-valued list of the form.\nGPS@ grid web portal (Grid Protein Sequence Analysis\,\nhttp://gpsa-pbil.ibcp.f r) is the grid release of the NPS@ \nbioinformatics portal. GPS@ hides the mechanisms required\nfor submitting bioinformatics analyses on the grid \ ninfrastructure. Selecting the “EGEE” check-box will schedule\nthe sub mission of the BLAST on the EGEE grid [6] \nwhen clicking on the “submit ” button. The bioinformatics\nalgorithms and databases available on GPS@ have been \ndistributed and registered on the grid and GPS@ runs its own\ nEGEE interface to the grid.\nFirst\, the job description in the Web form is converted into\na JDL file\, that can then be submitted to the workload \nmanagement system of EGEE. The GPS@ sub-process that have\nsubmitted th e job\, is also checking periodically \nthe status of this job by querying the resource broker with\nthe good commands. All steps are notified to th e user \nthrough the Web page of the submission\, indicating the time\nand the duration of the current step. When \nachieved\, i.e. reaching the “ Done” step\, the GPS@ automat\ndownloads the result file from BLAST. The n this raw \nresult file in BLAST format is processed and converted into\n a HTML page showing\, in a colored and graphical way\, \nthe list of simil ar protein sequences\, and also graph and\npairwise alignments of them. Th is formatting process is \ndirectly inherited from the original NPS@ porta l\, providing\nbiologists with a well-known interface and way of \ndisplay ing results.\nGPS@ portal makes the Bioinformatics job submission easier\n on the grid\, and provide biologist with the benefit of \nthe EGEE grid in frastructure to analyze large biological\ndataset: e.g. including several protein secondary structure \npredictions into a multiple alignment\, or c lustering a\nsequence set by analyzing\, with BLAST or SSEARCH\, each \nse quence against the others\, …\n\nAcknowledgements\nThis work has been fu nded by GriPPS project (ACI GRID\nPPL02-05)\, EGEE project (EU FP6\, ref.

After several successful demos at the\nbiggest \nc onferences and Grid user forums in Europe\, Asia and the US\,\nthe \nrepre sentatives of several Grids and Grid based Virtual\nOrganizations have \na pproached us and requested to support their communities by\nthe Portal. As a \nresult\, the P-GRADE portal is already the official portal of\nthe VO CE (Virtual \nOrganization Central Europe)\, HunGrid (Hungarian VO of EGEE )\nand the eGrid \n(Economic Grid) VOs of the EGEE Grid. It also provides\ nservice for the users of \nGILDA (the Grid training infrastructure of EGE E)\, Croatian\nGrid and Turkish Grid \ninfrastructures. Moreover\, the P-G RADE portal is the\nofficial portal of SEE-GRID \nwhich operates a Grid in frastructure in the South-East\nEurope region. Besides \nLCG-2 and gLite b ased production Grids the portal is\nsuccessfully used as \nservice for th e GT2 based UK National Grid Service (NGS) and\nit was also \nsuccessfully connected to the GT4 based Westfocus Grid (UK).\nOur latest \nachievement is that the P-GRADE Portal has been connected to\nthe ARC \nmiddleware\, thus now it is able to execute Grid applications\nin the Nordugrid \ntoo. After a successful demonstration at the\nSupercomputing'05 exhibition the \nrepresentatives of the US Open Science Grid and Teragrid\nalso expressed their \ninterest to connect the portal to their Grid. Consequently\,\nthe P-GRADE Portal is \nnow connected to both OSG and Teragrid\, reaching the users\nof many large \nproduction Grid infrastructures of the World. More over\,\nrecently the GIN (Grid \nInteroperation/Interoperability Now) Grid of GGF is\nsupported by the portal \nenabling the simultaneous access to all of its resources\ncoming from different \nGrids.\n\nAs P-GRADE portal becomes more and more popular among users\nwe have \nreceived important fe edbacks asking for new features of the\nportal. One of \nthose requests wa s the support of parametric studies at the\nworkflow level. \nThe idea of parametric study applications is that the same\nworkflow should be \nexecu ted with a large number of different input data files.\nMoreover\, differe nt \njobs must be fed by different number of files and the portal\nshould be able to \nautomatically generate the cross-product of these input\nfile s and run the \nworkflow for each element of this cross-product. Obviously \nhandling large \nnumber of workflows and files raises many new problems. Here\nwe mention \nonly some of them just to illustrate the problems:\n\n 1. Where to place and how to organize the necessary input files?\n2. Where and how to store the output of each execution of\nthe workflow?\n3. How t o prevent flooding the Grid and the portal by large\nparameter study \napp lications?\n4. How to specify the parametric study workflows in a way\ntha t simply extends \nthe specification of normal workflows?\n5. How to manag e the large number of workflows by the portal?\n\nThe main principles of s upporting parametric study\napplication by P-GRADE \nportal are as follows :\n\n1. Any port of a PS-WF (parametric study workflow) can be\nused to fe ed many \nfiles to the WF. Such a port is called as PS-port and\ndistingui shed from the \nordinary input ports both in the UI and in the inner\nrepr esentation of the WF. \nFor each PS-port in a PS-WF there is a unique inte ger\nidentifier (an ordering \nnumber starting from 0) generated by the po rtal.\n2. A PS-port represents a set of input files that are stored\nin th e same directory \nof a SE (storage element). It is the responsibility of the\nuser to place these \ninput files into the SE before submitting the P S-WF. Such a\ndirectory must not \nstore any other files\, only the input files belonging to the\nassociated PS-port. \n3. If there are several PS-p orts in a PS-WF\, then the portal\nRS (run-time \nsystem) takes care of pr oducing the necessary cross-product\nof the input files \nof these PS-port s. \n4. For each element of the cross-product the RS generates an\nexecuta ble WF \n(e-WF). The internal representation of an e-WF is the same\nas th e normal WF. \n5. Once the RS generated an e-WF it submits this e-WF in th e\nsame way as \nnormal e-WFs are submitted (since they are the same).\n6. The number (N) of e-WFs that are generated for parallel\nexecution is the \ndecision of the portal. When a PS-WF is submitted\, the\nportal RS gene rates N e-\nWFs of the cross product and submit them simultaneously to\nth e Grid. Once an \ne-WF is completed the portal RS generates the next eleme nt\nof the cross \nproduct and the related e-WF and submits it into the Gr id.\n7. An extra global parameter of a PS-WF is the target output\ndirecto ry of the \nworkflow results. The target output directory must be in a SE. \n8. Once an e-WF is completed the portal moves the zipped\nresult into th e \ntarget output directory. As a result not more than N partial\nWF resul ts should \nbe stored on the portal simultaneously for one PS-WF. Any\npos t-processing of \nthe results is the task of the user and not of the porta l.\n9. To avoid the flooding of the Grid and portal by a single\nuser\, on e user can \nsubmit only one PS-WF at a time. The next one can be\nsubmitt ed if the \npreviously submitted PS-WF is completed. Moreover\, the\nporta l administrator \ncan set the maximum number of e-WFs that can be\nsimulta neously generated \nfrom a single PS-WF as well as the maximum number of j obs\nthat can be \nsubmitted by the portal to the Grid.\n\nDuring the demo of the portal we will demonstrate how the\nnew PS support \nfeature of P- GRADE portal works. We hope that this new\nfeature will \nsignificantly in crease the usability of the portal and will\nopen doors for many \nnew Gri d user communities.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contri bId=144&sessionId=149&confId=1504 LOCATION:CICG URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=144&sessionId=1 49&confId=1504 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Mario Campolargo\, Head of Unit of Research Infrastructures\, Euro pean Commission - eInfrastructures as icebreakers for Industry DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060925T122000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060925T124000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T220252Z UID:indico-contribution-1504-142@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: CAMPOLARGO\, Mario ()\nAbstract: The talk introduces the audience to the \nEuropean Union (EU) research policies\, focusing in the \narea of Research Infrastructures.

Heterogeneity is the beauty of Grid\, but\nstill a mile stone to reach.\nTo integrate the large population of Windows-based resour ces\ninto the Grid world\nthrough Grid services is also essential to acqui re more\nmomentum from the industry\nand from the grass-roots. In general\ , we successfully make\nCCS nodes running jobs\nfrom gLite resource broker and Windows jobs are able to\nexecute natively under the\ncontrol of gLi te as well. \n\nThe main challenges of this project stem from the essence of\n Unix and Windows. For\nexample\, gLIte makes use of plenty of shell s cripts for\nwrapping end users’ job\ndescriptions to meet the target env ironment and get\ndispatched and executed on the\nfly\, but we are short o f such flexible tools in Windows. Job\nprofiles have to be\nre-compiled fo r Windows.

However\,\ns tatistical processing\nsystems can overcome this problem by widening the a mount of\ndata they are able to\nconsider\, but cost remains a strong limi t on the size of\nexperiments. As a more\ngeneral solution\, similar data may be collected across\nseveral acquisition\nfacilities\, but\, in order to be able to reproduce or compare\ndifferent experimental\nsetups\, side conditions associated to experiments must be\naccurately tracked.\nMoreove r\, end-users may be provided with different analysis\nalgorithms by diffe rent\nproviders\, and search tools may be needed to find data and\napplica tions. Eventually\,\ndata or experimental setups as well as results from\n experiments should be collected\nthrough a user-friendly web interface.\nS tarting from these considerations\, we decided to implement\na Grid-based data storage\nand management system for data concerning bioinformatics\nex periments. Indeed\, a Grid\nservice based approach may provide a shared\, standardized\nand reliable solution for\nstorage and analysis of the above mentioned biological data.\nMoreover\, a Grid portal\nmay allow unpractis ed users to store their experimental data\non a complex storage\nsystem an d to access distributed data and services. Instead\nof developing a databa se\,\ndata and experiment annotations can be stored using metadata\nmanage ment tools\,\nproviding high flexibility and assuring experiment\nreplicat ion for biological\nresearch activities. Security and privacy issues can b e\naddressed using a\ncertificate-based authentication schema coming out f or free\nfrom the Grid technology\nand sensible data can be federated or a ccessed without\nmoving them or via volatile\ncopies.\nThe described envir onment relies on storage services (with\nreplication and catalog\nservices ) provided by the gLite Grid middleware. Through the\nAMGA metadata catalo g\,\ngLite is able to exploit the added value of metadata\, in\norder to l et users better\nclassify and search experiments. The key feature in our\n solution is that data files\ncan be searched and accessed just by providin g their\ndescription metadata. Several\nkeywords (metadata fields) are ass ociated to data files and\nthe metadata catalog\ncollects such high level descriptions. Files are physically\nstored on the Grid\, and\nthe metadata catalog has also the information for accessing\nthem\, through their\nlog ical file name\, without taking care of filesystem\nstructures. This way\, files\ncould be replicated on disks to achieve more reliability but\nthe file collection is\nkept consistent.\nFrom a functional point of view\, th e adopted framework is\ndeployed in the form of a\nWeb Grid application vi sible to users as traditional web\npages\, but it is ready to be\ndeployed also as a grid service exposed to the public with\nstandard interface (WS DL).\nA Web interface has been implemented in order to hide the\ncomplexit y of framework and\nto make users able to use a standard browser for navig ating\na Grid portal and for\naccessing available data services. From a da ta point of\nview\, the proposed\nenvironment permits users to upload/down load their data and\nresults on/from the Grid\nPortal and to store them on Grid storage resources. The\nfilesystem complexity is\nhidden by the AMGA representation\, thus allowing also a\nmultiple perspective access\nto da ta collections.\nThe same framework can be adopted in a biomedical scenari o\ncombining text data for\npatients\, studies\, and reports\, as well as medical imaging\nacquisition volumes\, and\ntime series signals or genomic information.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=13 2&sessionId=151&confId=1504 LOCATION:CICG URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=132&sessionId=1 51&confId=1504 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Building gLite based scalable Grid environment with HP SFS DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060926T120000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060926T122000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T220252Z UID:indico-contribution-1504-131@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mr. DÓBÉ\, Péter (BME)\nIn BME we have assembled a site consisting of a Grid Gate\n(GG)\, a Storage Element\n(SE) and over thirty Working Nodes (WN). The GG and SE as\nwell as many of the WNs are\n HP ProLiant G2 servers with two Intel Xeon 3.00GHz\nprocessors and 2GB RAM .\n\nIn most cases it is very difficult to maintain and\nadminister such s ites. Expanding\nthese with new nodes is a time-consuming task that requir es\nextraordinary attendance.\nWe have created an NFS based solution\, whi ch allows nodes to\nbe added in a matter of\nminutes without prior install ation of gLite software. The\nworker nodes are nearly\ndiskless: most part of the file system on each is served via\nNFS root located on the\nGG hos t. This supplies all the necessary applications and\nconfiguration files t o\noperate in the Grid environment. Only temporary data files\nand the hos t-specific\nprivate keys and certificates are stored locally. The latter\n two are required by the\nPKI based authentication mechanism that is common ly used in\nGrids such as the EGEE\nGrid. It is also possible to deploy co mpletely diskless\nnodes where these are\ndownloaded from a secure network . The hosts may contain\nlarge capacity disks\, which\ncan be used not onl y for temporary storage for the worker\nnodes\, but as a storage\ndisk in a Disk Pool Manager (DPM) architecture. The\noperating system is still ser ved\nby NFS or another possibility is to download a complete file\nsystem image to a local\nhard disk. With this realization we have created an easi ly\nmanageable site.\n\nThe hosts are connected with a Gigabit Ethernet ne twork\,\nwhich also connects them to\nan HP Scalable File Share (SFS) stor age system of\napproximately 3 Terabytes capacity.\nTo make both the GG an d SE accessible from outside\, each of\nthem has another network\ninterfac e which connects it to the Internet. The site is\npart of the EGEE\ninfras tructure\, and hence runs the gLite middleware. We have\nalso established a\nVirtual Organization called “egeebme” and a local\nCertificate Auth ority for testing\nand educational purpose. This allows students and\nrese archers to become acquainted\nwith gLite without applying for a globally a ccepted\ncertificate and VO membership.\n\nThe homogeneous set of the HP s ervers makes it possible to\nuse one common kernel\nimage on each host wit hout further configuration on the\nhosts separately. Inserting\nanother id entical HP ProLiant G2 server needs no special\naction. For other hardware \nconfigurations\, only a different type of kernel image is\nrequired\, bu t the same NFS\nroot can be used. User authentication on the site is\nprov ided by Kerberos and LDAP\nrunning on the GG machine. The system on the SE contains the\nclient tools for the HP\nSFS and is configured to make the storage space available to\nthe Grid infrastructure.\n \nThe SFS is based on the Lustre File System\, and provides an\nefficient administration\nenv ironment and a single point of management. The flexible\nLustre technology permits\na huge variety of configurations. Meta-data and object data\nis stored on different\ndisks\, providing separate scalability for both. This allows\ngrid administrators to\nfine tune the system to meet the specific needs of the\ndifferent types of\napplications. Files are stored on Objec t Storage Targets\n(OST) and administrative\ndata is handled by the meta-d ata Server (MDS). File-data can\nbe striped across\nmultiple OSTs\; allowi ng extreme file sizes and multiplying\nfile I/O performance. \n\nSFS provi des a network-independent solution with high\nnetwork performance\,\nredun dancy\, higher availability and transaction rates than\nthe standard solut ions\,\nalso offering compatibility between different types of\ndistributi ons and\narchitectures. It can be reached through the conventional\nstanda rd network file\nsystems. Network bandwidth and latency is improving rapid ly\,\nwhich obsoletes current\nstorage technologies. HP SFS therefore supp orts the most\nrecent types of network\nsystems as interconnect. Gigabit E thernet is only the\nslowest possibility\, but\nInfiniBand or Myrinet can provide 770 Mbyte/s network\nperformance.\n\nRobust computing nodes requi re an effective and reliable\naccess to the main file\nsystem. While using NFS\, we have been experiencing file I/O\nmalfunctions\, so we have\nbeen looking for a more sophisticated solution. By upgrading\nfrom NFS to SFS based\ncentralized file systems random failures and network\ndropouts can be eliminated.\n\nIn addition to being part of the European Grid\, the sit e\nserves as a computing\ncluster for the computations at BME Faculty of A rchitecture.\nThe problem being solved\nis calculating the prestressing st rength of reinforced\nconcrete bars used in bridges.\nThis can be modeled as a Boundary Value Problem (BVP) that\nis easy to parallelize by\nparamet er sweeping\, i.e. dividing the parameter domain into\nsmaller subdomains each\nnode can work on separately.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDi splay.py?contribId=131&sessionId=151&confId=1504 LOCATION:CICG URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=131&sessionId=1 51&confId=1504 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Interactive Virtual Screening on the Grid DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060926T150000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060926T152000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T220252Z UID:indico-contribution-1504-130@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mr. LEE\, Hurng-Chun (ASGC\, Taiwan)\nRecent studies have suggested that the high pathogenic avian\nflu H5N1 virus has the\npo tential of developing drug resistance and of acquiring the\nability of\nhu man-to-human transmission. To enable biologists a better\nresponse to the threat\,\nthe second EGEE biomedical data challenge battling avian flu\nwa s set to screen\n300\,000 compounds against 8 predicted mutations of the\n Influenza A Neuraminidase for\nanalyzing the efficiency of the known drugs and for\nsearching new drugs. In April and\nMay 2006\, we succeeded to mo bilize over 2\,000 CPUs in the\nEGEE Grid infrastructure\,\ndemonstrating that the high-throughput screening (HTS) of\ndrug analysis can be\nefficie ntly reproduced on the Grid using the WISDOM platform\npreviously develope d for\nthe Malaria data challenge in last Summer. The 6-weeks\nactivity ha s covered over 100\nCPU years of CPU power required for the virtual screen ing\nprocess and has produced\nabout 600 Gigabytes of docking results for further analysis.\n\nCurrent computing model of the Grid-enabled HTS adopt s a\ncoordinative way of\nexecution in order to gain the docking throughpu t\; however\,\nto bring biologists a\nreal end-user application for their daily research\, the\napplication usability needs\nto be improved taking i nto account the realistic usage\npatterns. For example\, the\npreparation and deployment effort needed for starting the\ndata challenge will not be\ nappreciated by the users who frequently repeat the virtual\nscreening for testing\ntheir libraries and docking parameters. The batch mode HTS\nis a lso not feasible for\ninteractive analysis which can save biologists’ ti me by\nallowing them to start\nanalyzing partial results on the fly instea d of dealing with\na huge amount of output\nat the end. In addition\, biol ogists prefer a graphical user\ninterface to configure\ndomain-specific pa rameters.\n\nTo improve the usability\, we first introduced a light-weight \nframework called DIANE\nto enable the interactive analysis of the Grid-e nabled\nvirtual screening application.\nDIANE was originally developed for handling the distributed\napplications within a\nMaster-Worker model. It provides an overlay system on top of\nthe Grid system\, in\nwhich the pull -mode scheduling and failure recovery\nmechanisms are implemented based\no n the CORBA protocol. On the other hand\, the DIANE\nframework hides the d etails of\nthe job operations on the Grid so that application\ndevelopers can concentrate on the\nimplementation of application logic\, and end user s benefit\nfrom the simplified job\ndescriptions containing only intuitive and application\nspecific parameters. The\nstability and efficiency of DI ANE has been tested by taking\na significant part of the\navian flu data c hallenge.\n\nFollowing the successful avian flu data challenge\, the\nAcad emia Sinica Grid Computing\nCentre (ASGC) in Taiwan is in charge of develo ping a\nuser-friendly docking\nenvironment leveraging on the DIANE framewo rk. Building on\ntop of the DIANE\ncommand-line interface\, we have custom ized a web-based\ninterface for biology\nend-users. Through the web interf ace\, users can quickly set\na filter on compound\nlibraries\, configure d ocking parameters\, start-up and\nmonitor their virtual screening\nactivit ies on the EGEE production environment. During the\njob execution\, the\nc ompleted dockings are scored based on the binding energy.\nThe docking com plexes are\navailable as soon as the results are produced\; therefore\nbio logists can progress on\nfor further analysis without being blocked until their jobs\nare finished. A\nvisualization interface of complex structures also aids\nbiologists in analysis.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionD isplay.py?contribId=130&sessionId=149&confId=1504 LOCATION:CICG URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=130&sessionId=1 49&confId=1504 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Integration of the ATLAS Production System with the Distributed Da ta Management on the EGEE Grid Infrastructure DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060926T122000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060926T123000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T220252Z UID:indico-contribution-1504-137@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dr. CAMPANA\, Simone (CERN/IT/PSS and INFN/CNAF)\nIn the last 2 years\, the ATLAS collaboration has been continuously running Monte\nCarlo event simulation on the LCG/EGEE production grid.

T o attract new users\, especially from scientific\ncommunity\, user friendl y tools\nare needed to simplify access to the Grid. To solve this\nproblem we introduce the\nconcept of Migrating Desktop Platform which is a graphi cal\,\nuser oriented product\nthat simplifies the use of the grid technolo gy in the\napplication area.\nMigrating Desktop Platform (MD) is an advanc ed graphical\nuser interface and a set of\ntools combined with user-friend ly outlook\, similar to window\nbased operating systems.\nIt hides the com plexity of the grid middleware and allows to\naccess grid resources in\nan easy and transparent way with focus on interactive and\nparallel grid app lications.\nThese applications are both compute- and data-intensive and\na re characterized by the\ninteraction with a person in a processing loop. M D can\nattract new users by its\nfeatures: easy to use\, platform independ ent\, accessible from\nanywhere\, enables\npossibility to easily add new a pplication that can be batch\nor interactive\,\nsequential or parallel. Th anks to its open architecture it\ncan easily integrate\nexisting or incomi ng tools - for example supporting grid\noperations or enabling\ncollaborat ive work. Number of grid applications has already\nbeen integrated with MD \nframework.\nAs a key product of CrossGrid project Migrating Desktop has\ nproved its usefulness in\neveryday work of users’ community. Migrating Desktop was\nused in Polish grid project\n– Progress and is now used as an integration platform in EU\nBalticGrid project.\nInteractivity and MPI support is also continually developed\nin EU int.eu.grid\nproject\, while tools from MD will become part of Eclipse\nbased grid toolbox developed\nb y EU g Eclipse project.\n\nPlatform overview\nThe aim of Migrating Desktop is to provide scientists with a\nframework which hides\nthe details of mo st of the Grid services and allows working\nwith grid application in\nan e asy and transparent way. The graphical user interface\nintegrates and make s use of\nnumber of middleware and integrates the individual tools\ninto a single product\nproviding a complete grid front-end. It uses OSGi\nspecif ication as a mechanism for\ndiscovering\, integrating\, and running module s called\nbundles. When MD is launched\,\nthe users can work with environm ent composed of the set of\nbundles. Usually a small\ntool is written as a single bundle\, whereas a complex tool\nhas its functionality\nsplit acro ss several bundles. A bundle is the smallest unit\nof our platform that ca n\nbe developed and delivered separately. Such approach allows\nincreasing the\nfunctionality in an easy way without the need of\narchitecture chang es. \nMigrating Desktop framework allows users to access\ntransparently th e Grid resources\,\nrun sequential or interactive\, batch or MPI applicati ons\, to\nmonitor and visualize\napplications\, and manage data files. MD provides a front-end\nframework for embedding\nsome of the application mec hanisms and interfaces\, and\nallows the user to have\nvirtual access to G rid resources from other computational\nnodes. \nMD is a front end to Roam ing Access Server (RAS)\, which\nintermediates to\ncommunication with diff erent grid middleware and\napplications. Roaming Access Server\noffers a well-defined set of web-services that can be used\nas an interface for\nac cessing HPC systems and services (based on various\ntechnologies) in a com mon and\nstandardized way. All the communication is based on the web\nserv ices technology.\n\nThis platform can work with different grid testbeds: b ased\non LCG 2.7\, gLite 3.0\, \nProgress 1.0. Due to its open nature it c an be extended with\nsupport for other testbeds. \n\nApplications:\nExampl e application use case: interactive application\n(CrossGrid) - Parallel AN N\ntraining application. \nThis application is used to train an Artificial Neural\nNetwork (ANN) using simulated\ndata for the DELPHI experiment. Th e ANN is trained to\ndistinguish between signal\n(Higgs bosson) events and background event (in the demo the\nbackground used includes\nWW and QCD e vents). The evolution of the training can be\nmonitored using MD with a\ng raphics presenting current error\, and 4 small graphics that\nshow the ANN value vs.\nan event variable (that can be selected by the user). The\napp lication is compiled\nwith MPICH-P4 for intracluster use and with MPICH-G2 for\nintercluster use. This\napplication uses the interactive input chann el to let the\nuser make a clean stop of\nthe training (instead of killing the job)\, and also the\npossibility of resetting the\nANN weights to ran dom values\, to avoid local minima. Using\nMD\, user can change\nparameter s of this grid application while it is running.\n\nOther application that are already working with MD are: Air\nPollution (crossgrid)\,\nMedical (Gr id-based Approach for Virtual Arteries\,\ncrossgrid)\, Flood Management\nA pplications (crossgrid)\, Air Pollution Modeling\n(crossgrid)\, simple Mag ic\napplication use-case\, \nPlanned in the nearest future are: Visualizat ion of Plasma\nin Fusion Reactors\, GAMESS.\n\nUsed technology\nMigrating Desktop bases on the Java applet technology. It\ncan be launched using the \nJava Webstart technology or using a web browser with the\nappropriate Ja va Plug-in\nincluded in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). MD is based\no n Swing libraries for\ndesigning graphical user interface\, Java CoG Kit v ersion 1.2\nis being used as an\ninterface to Globus (for operation on pro xy and GridFTP/FTP)\nfunctionality. Axis\nver.1.2.1 web services client is used for communication with\nthe Roaming Access\nServer. Migrating Deskto p follows OSGi Service Platform\nspecification version 4\n(August 2005) an d is based on the same plugin engine as\nEclipse platform.

The total CPU time required for each of these\nGeant4 r elease validation productions amounts to about4 \nCPU-years\, which have t o be concentrated in a couple of\nweeks. The Geant4 team has already run f our of them\, \nstarting in December 2004. From December 2005 they run as\ nGeant4 VO demonstrating the full involvement of \nGeant4 inside the EGEE communities. Several EGEE sites have\nprovided them with the needed CPU\, and this has \nguaranteed the success of the production\, arriving to an\n overall efficiency rate of about 99%.\nWe report the Geant4 experience in using the Grid\, and in\nparticular the results obtained during the last \ nproduction (June 2006). During that production we used the\nGanga/Diane f ramework developed by the ARDA \ngroup at CERN was used for. the 10% of th e production with\nvery promising results.

As such\, it\nprovides a brid ge \nbetween more fine-grained techniques (such as X-ray\ncrystallography or\nNMR) and coarser methods like traditional light microscopy\,\nmaking \ nan un-substitutable tool for understanding subcellular\nstructures and \n macromolecular assemblies. Its main downside being the heavy\ndemands on \ ncompute power at some steps of the analytical process.\n\nWe have underta ken the project of bringing 3D-EM techniques\nto the Grid.\nInitial tests with 3D reconstruction yielded poor speedup\nresults turning\nup important lessons for subsequent work. We are now dealing\nwith ML \nclassification of data\, proceeding to refactor Xmipp and\ndealing with \nthe major bloc kstoppers detected. Still\, some relevant\nissues worth noting\nstill rema in that result in major conceptual challenges.\n\nIn this presentation we deal with the general problem of\n3D-EM in its\nexperimental context\, des cribe our approach\, preliminary\nresults and\ndirections for future work. \n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=134&sessionId=1 30&confId=1504 LOCATION:CICG Conf.

The project\nstarted on July 1\, 2006 and is partially funded by the \nEuropean Commission. The\nintegrated Grid environment wil l address all needs of \npossible Grid activities and\nGrid actors. The cu rrent lack of an uniform Grid \nworkbench toolbox\, which will be an\nentr y point to the Grid resources\, will be removed with \nthe g-Eclipse frame work. The\nproject plans to deliver the future workbench\, bringing \ntoge ther new users\,\napplications and Grid resource providers. The main goal \nfor g-Eclipse project is to\nprepare integrated Grid environment for all grid \nactivities. The idea is\, that the\nsame toolbox can be use for ut ilizing grids in \napplications\, for operating and\nmanaging the grid inf rastructure\, and for developing \ngrid applications. g-Eclipse\nwill be b ased on Eclipse\, probably the most successful \nIDEs nowadays. Eclipse wa s\ndeveloped by IBM in 2001 and then turned to the \nnonprofit Eclipse Fou ndation\n(www.eclipse.org)\, to be managed as an open-source \nplatform.Th e architecture of the\ng-Eclipse framework will be made for reuse and \nex tension to allow for easy adaptation\nby new Grid applications. The g-Ecli pse project will \naddress three major groups in\nthe Grid domain: Grid us ers will benefit from the \nWindows-like access to Grid\nresources\; Grid operators and resource providers will be \nable to reduce the\ntime-to-ser vice by the Grid management and Grid site \nconfiguration tools\; and Grid \napplication developers will reduce the time-to-market \nfor new Grid app lications by\naccelerating the development and deployment cycle. \nThe g-E clipse project aims for general support for \ndifferent Gird middleware sy stems\,\nbut in the first year the g-Eclipse framework will include \nexem plary support for the\ngLite middleware. \nThe project itself\, the main i deas and the requirements \nto an EGEE infrastructure\nwill be presented. First integrated tools as prototypes \nwill be presented. The poster\nshou ld help to get in touch with potential users of the \nframework\, the gLit e\nmiddleware developers as well as with other \napplications developers.\ n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=7&sessionId=151& confId=1504 LOCATION:CICG URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=7&sessionId=151 &confId=1504 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Discussion DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060928T150000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060928T153000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T220252Z UID:indico-contribution-1504-245@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contr ibId=245&sessionId=141&confId=1504 LOCATION:CICG Conf.

For example\nthe GenoMiner application\n (Castrignanò et al.\, 2006) intends to carry out\ncross-genome comparisons with the\naim to detect highly con served sequences\, LIKELY INVOLVED IN\nCODING OR REGULATORY\nACTIVITY. A complex procedure has been ADOPTED in order\nto improve the speed of\nth e comparison and to limit the search to selected parts of\nthe genomes. Ho wever\, the\ngrid is needed to validate the entire procedure. For this\nre ason a grid application\nhas been set up to compares each tract of the hum an genome\nwith the whole rat genome.\nAn overall number of more of 2000 M illion sequence\ncomparison is required\, where each\nof them can take up to 2-3 seconds.\nIn order to keep track of the comparison correctly execut ed\na "task-queue" schema\nbased on Database server suitably implemented . The\n"task-queue" is capable of\nmanaging multiple dependencies between tasks\, it keeps\ntracks of the grid-job-id to\nwhich is demanded the exe cution of a specific task. It keeps\nalso track of the number\nof attemptS to execute a particular task in order to avoid\nthe resubmission of jobs\ nthat "always" fail.\nThere is also the possibility to choose the priority of some\nof the tasks in order to\nrun them in the correct sequence.\nThe DB server used by the task queue can also be used to\nmonitor the status of the\napplication. This feature gives the possibility to the user\nto co ntrol the status of\nall the jobs running and executed in a very easy way .\nThe main Grid Services used by this application are the\nStorage Servic es\, to collect\nthe the huge amount of output date produced by the\nappli cation\, and the Workload\nManagement System to choose the best farms wi th free CPU's\nthat can run the\napplication and to transport in a reliab le way the crucial\nfiles needed on the WN.\nThe challenge is actually run ning on the Italian gLite\ninfrastructure (INFN-GRID):\nmore then 450 thou sands sequences comparisons have been\nperformed in a month time.\n\n\nRef erences: \n1) Castrignano T\, De Meo PD\, Grillo G\, Liuni S\, Mignone F\, \nTalamo IG\, Pesole G.\nGenoMiner: a tool for genome-wide search of codin g and\nnon-coding conserved sequence\ntags.

The next step \nfor Grid is Semantic Grid in which knowledge about resources\nis exposed and \ nhandled explicitly.\n\nIt is envisioned as semantic layering over the cur rent Grid\ninfrastructure. \nSemantic Web Services technologies can be app lied to the\nGrid in a way to \nachieve the Semantic Grid vision. For exam ple\, the\nbackground knowledge and \nvocabulary of a Grid middleware comp onent could be captured\nin ontologies. \nMetadata can be used to label Gr id resources and entities\nwith concepts\, for \nexample describing a data file in terms of the application\ndomain where it is \nused. Rules and cl assification-based reasoning mechanisms\ncould be used to \ngenerate new m etadata from existing metadata\, for example\ndescribing the \nrules for m embership of a VO and reasoning that a potential\nmember’s \ncredentials are satisfactory.\n\nMoreover\, activities like Grid service discovery or \nnegotiation of service level \nagreements\, among others\, can be potent ially enhanced using the \nfunctionalities provided by Semantic Web Servic e technologies.\n\nStarted far apart in applications and technology\, grid \nservices and web services \nconverged (Grid services started with GT1\, web services\nstarted with XML\, \nSOAP and WSDL\, and finally converged a s WSRF\, an extension\nof web services \nthat considers grid specific requ irements)\, but still they\nare defined at a \nsyntactical level\, without any formal\nsemantic that would make the suitable for automation. A\ntech nology is needed \nthat will extend and enrich these service descriptions with\nnew elements that \nwill allow to automatize service related tasks. The\nconceptual model of WSMO\, \nand WSML\, the formal language that refl ects the conceptual\nmodel\, will allow \ndifferent types of automatic pro ofs to be made in this\nlanguage\, thus providing \na certain level of aut omation for service related tasks.\n\nThe OGSA framework\, the conceptual model for grids\, defines\ndifferent types of \nservices with specific cap abilities that are needed for grid\napplications. \nHowever\, OGSA doesn ’t provide a formal language for\ndescribing these \nservices\, thus bei ng of little use in automatic performance\nof different service \nrelated tasks. Current languages used in\ngrid\, like GRAM (grid resource allocati on manager)\, are\nbased on XML and XML-\nschema\, thus inheriting all its drawbacks (semi structured\ndata format\, no \nformal semantics\, no reas oning support\, etc)\; here is where\nOGSA could benefit \nfrom the concep tual model of WSMO and its associated\nlanguage\, WSML.\n\nAll the OGSA se rvices\, which are summarized below could\nemploy WSMO for \nsemantically describing their properties: Infrastructure\nServices - OGSA \nleverages W eb services architecture to implement a SOA. WSDL\nis used for \nservice d escriptions. SOAP is the communication protocol.\nHere WSMO/WSMX \nwill be helpful. Initially this infrastructure was based on\nOGSI but now it will be \nbased on WSRF.\n\nWSMO conceptual model can be extended to cope up w ith\ncomplexity of Grid \nServices. The extended WSMO model for Grid can a ct as\nspecification to realize \nSemantic Grid\nServices.\n\nExecution Ma nagement Services - These services deal with the\nproblems of \ntask initi ation and management. Grid resource broker uses\nthe status \ninformation for each resource stored in monitoring and\ndiscovery service to \ndiscove r a resource and initiate a job or set of jobs on\nthat resource. After \n scheduling jobs\, it also gathers information on the status\nof jobs. With the \nemergence of Semantic Grid\, the information stored by Grid\nresour ce broker has \nto be made semantically annotated which will enable the Se mantic\nGrid infrastructure to manage\, monitor and discover the\navailabl e grid \nresources automatically\, more easily and more precisely.\n\nData Services - Data services in the grid are responsible\nfor efficient data \naccess\, data consistency\, data persistency\, data integration\nand dat a location \nmanagement.\nTriple Space Computing associated closely with S emantic Web\nServices can \nbring next level of advancement in the Data se rvices of gird. \n\nResource Management Services - These services allow th e\nmanagement of \nindividual resource itself\, management of resources in Grid\n(i.e. resource \nreservation\, monitoring\nand control) and monitor ing of Grid infrastructure which\nconsists of resources \nas well like mon itoring the registry service. Semantic\nannotations to grid \nservices wil l improve the Resource Management by providing\nexplicit meta-\ninformatio n to describe the resources of Grid.\n\nSecurity Services - Security servi ces provide controlled\naccess to resources \nwhich can be in various admi nistrative domains with\ndifferent access and \nsecurity policies. Grid Se curity Infrastructure (GSI)\nspecifies the whole set of \nprotocols and se curity architectures that are required for\ncontrolled resource \nsharing across the Grid. Semantic annotations to Grid\nresources and other \nentit ies will also help the security services to have a\nclear and unambiguous \nscenario and to act accordingly for authentication and\nauthorization of the \nresources.\n\nSelf-Management Services - Self-management services i nclude\nSLA\, policies and \nservice level manager model. SLA includes bus iness and IT\nagreements \nbetween the provider and user of the service. P olicies are\nused to govern the \nbehavior of an SLM (Service Level Manage r) and the\nmanageable resources \nunder its control. Service Level Manage r Model provides the\ninterface such that \nvarious human operators and SL M can work together without\nhaving \nknowledge about each other built in at design time. Service\nlevel agreements \n(SLAs) are currently being inv estigated by Semantic Web\nServices community as \nwell. However\, explici t availability of meta information\nwill enable the self \nmanagement of s ervices more automatic and dynamic.\n\nInformation Services - Monitoring a nd Discovery Service in\nOGSA is an XML \ndatabase called Xindice that col lects information from each\nof the resource in \nGrid. It Stores dynamic data for monitoring and discovery.\nIt also acts a registry \nfor grid ser vices. XPath and XQuery languages are used to\nquery data from \ninformati on service. Semantic annotations to the\nintermediate information of \nGri d will make the monitoring and discovery in Grid more\nprecise and accurat e in \ncomplex and dynamic scenarios.\n\nAcknowledgements\nThe work is fun ded by the FIT-IT (Forschung\, Innovation\,\nTechnologie - \nInformationst echnologie) under project GRISINO - Grid\nsemantics and intelligent \nobje cts.

They enable \nmultidiscip linary teams\, distributed around the globe\, to \nshare ideas\, applicati ons and data to solve problems at \nscales not previously considered possi ble. To \naccomplish this objective we have built a substantial \nmiddle ware infrastructure (Globus\, g-Lite\, OGSA) that \nprovides us with the c ore foundation of capabilities and \nservices that support security\, comp utation \nvirtualization and data virtualization. Unfortunately\, \nthese services alone do not provide a platform for \nengaging the large majorit y of potential scientific and \nindustrial users. They are simply too com plex and\, by \ntheir nature\, too unreliable to use except for a small \n community of Grid experts. To engage the vast \nmajority of potential us ers of Grids a category of tools \nand services\, know in the TeraGrid pro ject as Science \nGateways\, is emerging. They are built around web \npor tal and desktop client technology and provide a layer \nof abstraction pro viding data and computational \nservices in a language that is easily cast in terms of \nspecific scientific domain languages. Portals like Genius\ , \nGridSphere and the Open Grid Computing Environment \n(OGCE) are being deployed for many scientific domains \nincluding bio-science\, chemical in formatics\, astronomy\, \nearth sciences\, nano-technology and many indust rial \napplications. This talk will examine the core services \nprovided by these gateway tools including personal \nmetadata catalogs\, workflow t ools\, graphical user \ninterfaces\, and data provenance and publication \ nservices. We will look at what works and describe \nwhere we still nee d more research in the future.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDispl ay.py?contribId=2&sessionId=11&confId=1504 LOCATION:CICG Conf.

SEE-GRID is based on the SEE++\nsoftware for the\nbio mechanical 3D simulation of the human eye and its\nmuscles. SEE++ simulat es the\ncommon eye muscle surgery techniques in a graphic\ninteractive way that is familiar to\nan experienced surgeon. SEE++ is world-wide the most \nadvanced software for this\npurpose\; it is used by various hospitals an d medical doctors\nfor surgery training and\nplanning\,\n\nSEE++ deals wit h the support of diagnosis and treatment of \nstrabismus\, which is the\nc ommon name given to usually persistent or regularly\noccuring misalignment of the\neyes. Strabismus is a visual defect in which eyes point in\ndiffe rent directions. A\nperson suffering from it may see double images due to\ nmisaligned eyes. SEE++ is able\nto simulate the result of the Hess-Lancas ter test\, from\nwhich the pathological\nreason of strabismus can be esti mated. The outcome of such\nan examination is two gaze\npatterns of blue p oints and of red points respectively. The\nblue points represent the\nimag e seen by one eye and the red pointsthe image seen by\nthe simulated other eye\,\nbut in a pathological situation there is a deviation between\nthe blue and the red points.\n\nIn SEE++\, a third gaze pattern\, a measured o ne (with green\npoints) of a patient can\nbe given as input. In this case \, SEE++ takes some default\nor estimated eye data and\nmodifies a subset of them until the calculated gaze pattern\nof the simulated eye (red\npoin ts) matches the measured gaze pattern. This procedure\nis called patholog y\nfitting. The current algorithm is time consuming and gives\nonly a mor e or less\nprecise estimation for the pathology of the patient. Doctors\nw ant to see quickly the\nresults from such a decision support system\, but for\nreaching adequate response times\nit is not sufficient to use only lo cal computational power.\n\nThe goal of SEE-GRID is to adapt and to extend SEE++ in\nseveral steps and to develop\nan efficient grid-based tool for Evidence Based Medicine\,\nwhich supports the surgeons\nto choose the best surgery techniques in case of the\ntreatments of different\nsyndromes of strabismus. We approach this goal in three phases:\n\n- We have implemente d a parallel and grid-enabled version of\nthe Hess-Lancaster test\nsimulat ion (it is based on the Globus Toolkit at present).\n\n- We are currently developing a grid-based medical database\ndescribed for storing and\nsorti ng patient data with gaze patterns and eye data.\n\n- We plan to make a gL ite compatible version of SEE-GRID and\nthen further develop it\non the ba sis of the higher services of the EGEE-II\nmiddleware (comparedwith the\nl ow-level services of the Globus Toolkit).\n\n- We will work on a parallel grid-enabled pathology fitter\nalgorithm.\n\nReferences:\n\n1.

VO CE infrastructure\, part of the\nEGEE II Grid\,\ncurrently consists of com putational resources and storage\ncapacities provided\nby the Central Euro pean resource owners. VOCE currently\nprovides a complete \ngrid infrastru cture running all necessary grid services\nhelping thus\nscientists to sol ve their research projects and problems.\nOne of the currently\nintensivel y studied areas of modern material design and drug\ndiscovery is \nchemist ry of interlocked supramolecules and their mutual\ninteractions. \nIn the presented work\, we investigate rotaxane\, a\nsupramolecular complex. \nRo taxanes are interlocked molecules in which macrocycle (the\n'wheel') is \n threaded by a long 'axle' component. Our system consists of\na molecule \n cucurbit[7]uril (CB7) and a 4\,4'-bipyridinium derivate.\nExperiments show a \nswitch-like movements along the axle in this supramolecular\ncomplex. \nTo give a detailed insight to the switch-mechanism we calculated\nthe fr ee energy profile along reaction coordinate related to\nthis movement. \nT he evaluation of the free energy is a computationally\ndemanding task requ iring\nextensive computational resources due to necessity to\nproperly sam ple large \nphase-space. Currently used methods for the free energy\nestim ations \n(such as umbrella\, bluemoon or adaptive biassing force\nmethod) require \na calculation of a huge amount of middle-length molecular\ndynam ic simulations which can run independently in parallel.\nTherefore\,\nthes e types of computational tasks are very well suited to\nexploit\nlarge gri d environments like the VOCE. The complete solving\nof the described \nres earch problem comprises approximately hundreds thousands\nof CPU hours at\ n1.6 GHz CPU with 1 GB RAM. Our results clearly demonstrate\nthat the VOCE Grid \nis the place where challenging applications requiring\nadvanced co mputational \nchemistry techniques can be easily utilized and\ncorrespondi ng research problems \nsuccessfully solved.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contr ibutionDisplay.py?contribId=12&sessionId=151&confId=1504 LOCATION:CICG URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=12&sessionId=15 1&confId=1504 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Fusion_RDIG applications DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060926T120000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060926T121000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T220252Z UID:indico-contribution-1504-15@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mr. VOZNESENSKY\, Vladimir (Nuclear Fusion Inst.\, R RC "Kurchatov Inst.")\nThere are three main nuclear fusion applications to run on\nRussian Data Intensive Grid \ninfrastructure at this moment and i n the nearest future:\n1.

In this\nreport we o utline\nthe work carried out in our laboratory by performing a\nmolecular dynamics\nsimulation of the Propane bulk system in liquid and gas phase. \ nThe calculations were aimed at estimating in an a priori\nfashion some th ermodynamics\nproperties of the system and to build the related phase\ndia gram [1]. To\nthis end the DL_POLY [2] software package was used for the\n npt statistical\nensamble at different temperatures. Computational tasks w ere\ndistributed\nusing the EGEE-Grid platform [3].\n To obtain prelimi nary indications on the performance of\nthe used platform\,\n a test case was run on six different EGEE-Grid clusters. In\norder to\nevaluate the el apsed time of each simulation and the related\nspeed-up for\neach cluster\ , we ran the calculations sequentially on one\nnode and in parallel \non 2 and 4 nodes. Measured elapsed times and speedups will be \nillustrated at the meeting. The parallel performance of some\nclusters of the \nEGEE-Gri d is very close to the ideal value due to\ntheir dedicated usage. Deviatio ns from it occurring in the\nother clusters are\nmainly due to the time sh aring regime adopted by them. This\nmeans that\nthe parallel performances of each EGEE-Grid cluster strictly\ndepend on the\nadopted regime. In orde r to evaluate more in detail the\nparallel performance\nof each cluser and the waiting time intercurring between the\nscheduling and\nthe running of a process we restricted parallel calculations\nto two nodes. To\ncarry ou t a statistical analysis we ran 50 parallel jobs. As\napparent from the ta ble\, \nmore than 70% of the jobs ran properly and only 26% was\naborted. \nAbortion is due for 62% to comunications errors between the\nnodes of th e same cluster\, for 23% to internal errors of DL\nPOLY occurred\nduring t he running and for 15% to the scheduler.\n The calculated value of the density of the system gets\ncloser to the data\ngiven in literature (582 K g m(E-3) at T=230 K at P=1.013 bar\n[4]) when\ngoing from 200 K to 230 K. At the same time we computed\nhigh values of pressure and correlated stati stical errors.\nPossible ways out\nof this problem can be an increase of t he simulation time in\norder to obtain\na better average value of the pres sure and/or a small\nmodification of the\nforce field of the system in ord er to normalize the effect\nof the pressure on\nthe system.\n\nReferences\ n[1] Costantini\, A.\, Lagana'\, A.\, Pirani\, F.: Lecture Notes\nin Compu ter Sci-\n ence 3980 (2006) 738-713.\n[2] Smith\, W.\, Forester\, T.R.: DL POLY2: a general-purpose\nparallel\n molecular dynamics simulation pa ckage.

During\nthe 5 weeks of th e RRC06 Conference (15 May to 16 June 2006)\ndelegations from 119 Member S tates negotiated the frequency\nplan.\n\nThe frequency plan was establishe d in an iterative way.\nDuring week time at the RRC06 administrations nego tiated and\nsubmitted their broadcasting requirements to the ITU-BR and\nt he associated results of negotiation (sometime in terms of\nseveral millio n records). The ITU/BR carried out over the\nweekend\, substantive validat ion and processing activities\nand conducted all the calculations (analysi s and synthesis)\nthat resulted in assigning specific frequencies for the\ ndraft plan. The result of the calculations was distributed\nto delegation s at the beginning of the subsequent week and\nserved as input for the nex t round of negotiations\, with the\nlast iteration constituting the basis for the final\nfrequency plan. In addition\, partial calculations were\npe rformed for parts of the planning area in between two\nglobal iterations ( for the entire planning area). \n\nFor obtaining optimum planning of the a vailable frequency\nspectrum\, two different software processes have been\ ndeveloped by the European Broadcasting Union and they have\nbeen run in s equence at the Conference by ITU/BR:\ncompatibility assessment and plan sy nthesis. The\ncompatibility assessment (which was very CPU demanding and\n adapted to run on a distributed infrastructure) calculated\nthe interferen ce between digital requirements\, analogue\nbroadcasting and other service s stations. The plan synthesis\nassigned channels to requirements which co uld share the same\nchannel.\n\nThe limited time to perform the calculatio n called for the\noptimization of the process. The turnaround time to pro vide\na new set of results was a critical factor for the success\nof the C onference. The EGEE grid greatly enhanced the ITU-BR\navailable resources\ , constituted by a 100 PCs client-server\ndistributed system developed wit hin the ITU-BR.\n\nThe compatibility assessment consisted in running a lar ge\nnumber of jobs (some tens of thousands). Each job is\nbasically the sa me application running on different datasets\nrepresenting the parameters of radio-stations. One should\nnote that the execution time varied by more than 3 orders of\nmagnitudes (the majority of jobs needed only few second s but\nfew jobs required many hours) depending on the input\nparameters an d could not be completely predicted. To cope\nwith this situation we decid ed to use a client-server system\ncalled DIANE that allows run-time load b alancing\, access to\nheterogeneous resources (Grid and local cluster at t he same\ntime) and a robust infrastructure to cope with run-time\nproblems . In the DIANE terminology\, a job is defined as a\n“task”. DIANE allo wed us to use in the most effective way\nthe available resources since in this system each available\nworker nodes asks for the next task: while a l ong task will\n“block” a node\, in the mean time the short tasks (the large\nmajority) will flow through the other nodes.\n\nWe demonstrated to be able to perform the required\ncalculations on the EGEE/LCG infrastructu re during\nfeasibility tests performed in November 2006 and we used\nthese techniques during the Conference in very close\ncollaboration with CERN. We were also able to integrate the\nEGEE infrastructure with the ITU-BR di stributed system at\nthe monitoring level\, via the Caltech-developed prod uct\nMonALISA.\n\nThe EGEE infrastructure did not only enable us to give t he\nadequate support for an important international event but\,\nin additi on\, the substantial speed-up observed opened the\npossibility to allow fa ster and more detailed studies during\nthe Conference. The technical impro vement gave the\npossibility to provide a better service and technical dat a\nto the Conference’s delegates.\n\nOur set up was well suited for this application. The\npossibility to access resources from the grid and corpo rate\nresources (which we have not exploiting) is very appealing\nand shou ld be interesting for other users. The possibility\nto describe and execut e more complex workflow (presently we\nare using the system to execute ind ependent tasks in\nparallel) could increase the interest for the tools we have\nbeen using.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribI d=127&sessionId=131&confId=1504 LOCATION:CICG Conf.

In order to make this data searchable and\naccessible for further analysis\nand/or data comparis on on the grid appropriate interfaces\nbetween the existing data\nstorage systems and the EGEE infrastructure need to be\nestablished. This interfac e is\nrealized in close collaboration with the German C3-Grid\nproject\, w hich currently\nestablishes a common metadata model\, and metadata publish ing\ninfrastructure as well\nas data access mechanism. With respect to met adata these\ndevelopments are based on\ninternational standards like the I SO 19115 / 19139 XML\nmetadata schema and the OAI\n(open archives initia tive) metadata harvesting approach. For\ndata access a common\ncommunity w eb service interface is developed which triggers\ncomplex data selection\n procedures and makes the result available on gridftp\naccessible storage. \n\nAs a prerequisite for the data access a metadata catalogue\,\ncontain ing information\nfor discovery and access of available datasets is needed. To\nmake the metadata\ndescriptions of the existing databases available o n the EGEE\ninfrastructure the AMGA\ncatalogue is used. The catalogues is updated by means of XML\ndescriptions\, which are\nharvested on a regular basis from the existing datacenters.\nThe upload of discovered\ndata files from the external database to the EGEE\ninfrastructure is based on\nwebse rvices and gridftp: Based on information from the\nmetadata catalogue the\ nappropriate webservice endpoint is contacted from within an\nEGEE data an alysis job.\nThis webservice triggers data preprocessing functionality\nan d delivers the result to\na local gridftp accessible workspace from where they can be\nretrieved\, stored on an\nSE and registered as EGEE accessibl e.\n\nIn order to exemplify the added value for the climate\ncommunity we will show\ncomponents of a complete workflow of searching\, accessing\nand analysing climate data\nsupported by the established interfaces.\n\nhttp: //indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=129&sessionId=149&confId =1504 LOCATION:CICG URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=129&sessionId=1 49&confId=1504 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:VO Resource allocation process DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060927T130000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060927T133000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T220252Z UID:indico-contribution-1504-319@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: BARROSO LOPEZ\, Maite (CERN)\nPresentation of the pr ocess that has been agreed in \nthe PEB/PMB.

They\, then\, do\nnot nee d to be isolated or encrypted. But\, in some cases\, these data stemed fro m\npatients or are analyzed with\, for instance\, pharmaceutical or agrono mics goals. Also\nin simple ways \, these data\, before to become public\, have to be kept confidential\nwhile researchers haven’t been able to pu blish their work or to register them. So\nthey are a lot of cases where th e integrity and the confidentiality of biological\ndata have to be protect ed against unauthorized accesses.

Service Level\nAgreements (SLAs) shoul d be used\nto define the quality of service for a job execution.\nHowever\ , providers are still\ncautious on adoption as agreeing on SLAs including penalty\nfees is a business risk:\nsystem failure\, operator unavailabilit y etc. can lead to an\nSLA violation. AssessGrid\nwill address the risk aw areness and consideration in SLA\nnegotiation\, self-organising\nfault-tol erant actions\, and capacity planning. Risk\nassessment methods will serve \nproviders as decision support for accepting/rejecting SLAs\,\nfor price/ penalty\nnegotiation\, for activating fault-tolerance actions\, and for\nc apacity and service\nplanning. A confidence service will be developed in\n AssessGrid for supporting\ncustomers in the estimation of provider’s rel iability.\nThe AssessGrid results will support all Grid actors by\nincreas ing the transparency\,\nreliability\, and trustworthiness as well as provi ding an\nobjective foundation for\nplanning and management of Grid activit ies.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=316&session Id=151&confId=1504 LOCATION:CICG URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=316&sessionId=1 51&confId=1504 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Discussion DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060926T102500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060926T103000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T220252Z UID:indico-contribution-1504-315@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contr ibId=315&sessionId=79&confId=1504 LOCATION:CICG Conf.

It has\ncompared these findings to results from earlier studies of\nGrid use in the auto industry in the US and Japan.\n\nThe study’s initial fin dings are that Europe’s automakers\nhave adopted Grids and are doing tho usands of simulations a\nday to support design\, product development\, and testing. In\nat least one case\, virtual cars are being used to manage\np roduction.\n\nOne of the drivers for Grid deployment is the tremendous\nco st savings they offer. Preliminary estimates from the\nstudy suggest that during 2007-2010\, auto firms will save\nabout 25% of production costs eac h year. This will be a\nresult of using Grids to support virtualized desig n and\nproduct development and creating virtual cars for production.\n\nEu ropean\, American and Japanese auto firms are deploying\nfirm-wide Enterpr ise Grids at about the same pace\, with most\nfirms expecting to have such Grids in place by 2009-2010.\nCollaboration Grids with links to partner f irms (Partner\nGrids) are more evident in the US\, but Europe and Japan wi ll\ndeploy these more rapidly than US firms later this decade.\n\nThis pre liminary analysis suggests that the IT-based model\nof Grid adoption does not represent how auto firms are\nadopting Grids. It suggests that Grid ad option is directly\nlinked to managing the complexity that results from be ing\nable to use Grids. With thousands of simulations\, auto firms\nneed h igher-level management capabilities linked to Grids to\nsynchronize new fi ndings with design models. With such\ncapabilities\, including dynamic pro visioning and feedback\nmechanisms\, Grid adoption would be faster.\n\nhtt p://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=161&sessionId=88&confI d=1504 LOCATION:CICG Conf.

Despite the fact that a few qua ntum chemical codes have\nbeen successfully ported to the Grid [2] there i s still lack of commercial chemical\nsoftware that would be available for whole EGEE community. The main reasons blocking\nwide use of commercial so ftware are its license requirements. Confirmation of\nfulfilling the lice nse requirements is the key step in porting software to the Grid\nand than using it. \n\nThere are many computational packages available nowadays fo r chemists. Among them the\nmost popular for its easiness of use\, large n umber of computational methods and\nconstant development during the last t hirty years is the Gaussian package [3\,4]. The\nadvantages of Gaussian ma ke it an excellent choice for our application. Moreover\,\nenabling to use the Gaussian package on the Grid by wider community will benefit not\nonl y in chemistry but also in biochemistry\, medicine and even physics. \n\nI n this report we would like to share our experience in enabling commercial software\non the Grid using Gaussian program [5] as an example. In such a case access to the\nsoftware is influenced by additional license requirem ents. Therefore\, in order to\nmeet these requirements\, a new virtual org anization (VO) gaussian has been created.\nMembership in gaussian VO enabl es user an access to Gaussian package operated and\nmaintained by ACC Cyfr onet AGH.

The main goal of\nMediGRID is the \n development of a grid-middleware-platform with Globus\nToolkit 4 as a basi s for \neScience Services for the community and to help researchers\nto us e these \nservices. Here we present the first results of the projects\ncon sisting of the \ninfrastructure\, first community applications and basic\n privacy rules.\n\nMaterials and Methods\nConcerning the data flow in grids \, most projects are similar\nin the lower layers \n(s. Fig. 1)\, but the biomedical community has to face\nparticular challenges in the \nupper lay ers. The top layer represents the heterogeneous\nbiomedical data \nsources . Beyond the problem to find the relevant data sets\nvia metadata \ndescri ption\, access control to the data is of paramount\nimportance\, as the \n owner of the data are foremost the patients. Due to the\nheterogeneity of the \ndata we need an additional ontology layer to homogenize the\ndata. G iven \nsemantic interoperability the researcher can correlate and\nanalyze the data \nwith biomedical informatics methods. Biomedical data in\nmedic al grids are \nheterogeneous\, contain different kinds of information and\ nhave different levels \nof privacy. The data might include information ab out [2]: \n\n• Population: Epidemiology \n• Diseases: Clinical pract ice\, clinical trials\n• Patient data: Health record\, clinical history \, physical\nexams\, \nlab/imaging studies\n• Organ/tissue: pathology\n • Cellular: histology\n• Molecular: genetic test results and genomic data.\nHaving these data online with the suitable tools to connect\,\ncom bine and \nanalyze creates new challenges for data protection and privacy. \n\nResults \nThe current privacy concepts do not cover the aspects and\na bilities of grid \ncomputing. Especially the re-identification risk with t he\ncombination of different \ndata types has to be assessed. There are s evere privacy\nconcerns related to \ngenomic-wide association studies [3-5 ]. These are the main\nreasons for the \ndevelopment of an enhanced securi ty concept for MediGRID. Four \nmethodological modules are responsible to construct the\nsuitable \ninfrastructure: ontology\, resource fusion\, mid dleware and\neScience. On the \nother hand\, three research modules take t he initiative to\nuse this national grid \ninfrastructure to assist their work: biomedical Informatics\,\nimage processing \nand clinical research. The MediGRID consortium developed a\nmiddleware \ncomponent as a connector for the medical community to\nresources of the \nintegration project in D -Grid [6]. \nThe community modules use this middleware to “gridify” th eir\napplications in \norder to show the advantage of grid computing in me dicine. \n\nOntology\nUsing OGSA-DAI as a standard of Data Access and Inte gration\nin grids\, the \nontology module has successfully developed an on tology tool\nand implemented \nit as a first step to be a Gridsphere-Portl et in the\nMediGRID portal being \navailable for all project partners.\n\n Bioinformatics\nDialign is a widely used software tool for multiple\nalign ments of nucleic acid and \nprotein sequences. Within the MediGRID portal a parallelized\nversion of the \nsoftware is used to speed up the computat ionally expensive\nprocedure. In that \nway distributed computing allows t he user to obtain\nhigh-quality alignments of \nbigger databases and longe r sequences. AUGUSTUS is a program\nthat predicts \ngene structures in euk aryotic genomic sequences with high\naccuracy. Since \nAUGUSTUS performs a successive analysis of overlapping\nsequence sections\, it \nis easy to p arallelize. Therefore users benefit from\ndistributed computing with \nsev eral instances of the program. Grid resources also allow\nfrequent update \nand centralized storage of huge EST databases.\n\nImage Processing\nA 3D image reconstruction for prostate biopsy will register\nthe different \nu ltrasonic scans helping the physician to have a new viewing\nof the prosta te \nthat was not possible using the traditional 2D methods. The\nvirtual vascular \nsurgery helps to calculate and present the animated 3D blood\nf low field in the \nbrain vessels\, which could be used to anticipate the\n pressure on the walls of \nthe vessels and for example to predict a bleedi ng risk. The\nBrain 4D MRI image \nprocessing application in MediGRID assi sts the\nidentification of the brain areas \nresearch. All three applicati ons are demanding the\npossibility of massive data \nvolume storage and pr ocessing. Because of the constant\nincrease of the data \nvolume coherent with the development in the imaging\ntechniques\, a dynamic \nextendable c omputing and storage infrastructure is needed\,\nwhich ideally will \nbe a grid environment.\n\nPrivacy\nIn the first step we are working with non p erson-related\ndata and set up the \nfirst generation of privacy rules. As a preparation for the\nnext phase – dealing \nwith person related data – we defined the additionally\nnecessary advanced \nsecurity methods lik e audit and tracking. Furthermore some\nlegal issues \nconcerning virtual organizations and the ownership of data\nand material have \nto be address ed.\n\nFurther perspective \nAs we gained experience with our first medica l grid\napplications\, we will be able \nto “gridify” other community applications more easily. The\ninitial incarnation of \nthe infrastructure is set up\; some details are still to\ncome. As genotyping \nconstantly g ets cheaper\, many formerly phenome-related\nprojects around \ncomplex dis eases consider genotyping within the next couple\nof years. Beyond \nthe i ndisputable opportunities of these studies there are\nquite some challenge s \nto be faced. MediGRID addresses issues like the\nhomogenization of \n heterogeneous data sources and how do we deal with the\nwell-known privacy \nproblems. Solving those issues will enhance the portability\nof life sc ience grid \nservices to other projects and other communities. \n\nReferen ces\n1 www.medigrid.de\n2 Martin-Sanchez\, F.\, V.

Grids are used to join various geographically\ndistributed computat ional and data\nresources\, and deliver these resources to heterogeneous u ser\ncommunities. While the\ninitial research on Grid computing was focuse d mainly on\nproviding a seamless access\nto a heterogeneous suite of comp utational and data\nresources\, current efforts are\naddressing the provis ion of a global distributed\ninfrastructure based on service\noriented par adigm. More and more grid toolkits are nowadays\nare following a service\n oriented approach by exposing and handling resources as\nservices. However a flexible\nservice Grid is not possible without support by semantic\ntec hnologies which lead to\nwhat is know as Semantic Grid. Semantic Grid come s as an\nextension of current Grid in\nwhich information and services are given well-defined\nmeaning [4]. Knowledge about\nresources is exposed and handled explicitly thus allowing a\ncertain degree of\nautomation in real izing various tasks on the Grid.\nFurthermore\, the information which\nis going to be manipulated in a service Grid has to be\nsemantically describe d. This\nwill allow services to better interpret and manipulate the\nconte nt of the information\nthey are processing.\n\nIn our ongoing work in GRIS INO project [1] - Grid semantics\nand intelligent objects\,\nwe aim of int egrating three leading edge technologies which\ncomplement\neach other\, f or the definition of intelligent and dynamic\nbusiness and scientific\npro cesses: (1) Semantic Web Services (SWS) as the future\nstandard for the\nd eclaration of web-based semantic processes\, (2) Intelligent\ncontent obje cts as\nthe unit of value which can be manipulated by semantic web\nservic es and (3)\nGrid Computing as a pervasive service distribution\ninfrastruc ture for a future\,\nambient intelligence space.\n\nGrid computing is a ce ntral pillar for our GRISINO platform\,\nproviding a\ncomputational and or ganizational infrastructure. It can be\nseen as the resource\nbackbone of GRISINO platform in terms of computational and\nstorage power.\nThe presen t abstract summarizes the authors initial ideas on\nhow Grid computing\, a s\none fundamental pillar of GRISINO platform\, will be\nintegrated with S emantic Web\nServices and Intelligent Content Objects in order to provide\ nplatform which supports\nintelligent and dynamic business and scientific processes.\n\nThe reminder of this abstract is structured as follows.\nFir st we describe our initial\nideas on how Grid computing and Semantic Grid as its\nsemantic extension could play\nthe role of a hosting infrastructur e for Semantic Web\nServices. Then we point the\nneed of Grid computing as a supporting infrastructure for\nIntelligent Content Objects\nand how the se technologies could be integrated. Finally we\nconclude our paper by\npo inting out the fundamental role of Grid computing as a\nfoundation block o f our\ninfrastructure.\n\n1 Grid computing and Semantic Web Services\n\nAm ong the technologies which are nowadays following a\nservice oriented para digm\, Web\nservices and Grid computing have the biggest impact both on\na cademia and industry. A\ncloser look at Web services and Grid computing sh ows that\nthese two areas have a lot\nin common. A resource on the Grid ca n be view as a service.\nLatest directions in Grid\nand Web services [3] p rovide a uni¯ed framework that deals\nwith both Grid and Web\nservices re quirements. What is missing is a proper support\nfor machine processable\n semantics and therefore human intervention is needed to\nactually discover \, combine\,\nand execute services. Semantic Web services promise to\nsolv ed this problem by\nproviding a fully mechanized web infrastructure for\nc omputers interactions [5].\n\nBy using semantic technologies the Semantic Grid vision can\nbe achieved. For example\,\nontologies\, which provide ma chine understandable\nterminologies\, will be used to\ndescribe resources and services on the Grid. The Semantic\nGrid will be a grid of\nservices s emantically annotated. Both domain ontologies\n(e.g. physic\, biology\nont ologies) and infrastructure onotlogies (e.g. virtual\norganiation ontologi es\,\nservice ontologies) will be required. They will allow a\nsertain deg ree of automation\nfor tasks like Grid service discovery or negotiation of \nservice level agreements. All\nthese tasks can be potentially enhanced u sing the\nfunctionalities provided by SWS\ntechnologies.\n\nAnother possib le integration point is around the Open Grid\nService Architecture\n(OGSA) [7]. The OGSA framework\, a conceptual model for\nGrids\, defines a set o f\nservices which are needed for grid applications. However\,\nOGSA doesnt provide a\nformal way to describe these services\, thus being of little\n use in automatic\nperformance of different service related tasks. One\npar ticular way to realize the\n(Semantic) Grid vision by integrating support for SWS into\ncurrent Grid architectures\nis to semantically enhance curre nt OGSA services\, as for\nexample infrastructure\, data\nor information s ervices. Last but not least all domain grid\nservices which will use\nthe Semantic Grid infrastructure will be annotated with\nsemantic descriptions .\n\n2 Grid computing and Intelligent Content Objects\n\nIntelligent Conte nt Objects can be seen as semantically\ndescribed and annotated\ncontent. In GRISINO\, Intelligent Content Objects will be\nproduced and manipulated on\na large scale by applications\, agents and services hosted by\nthe GR ISINO\ninfrastructure. Given this high scale dimension in terms of\ncomput ation and storage\,\nGrid computing is a natural choice to follow. \n\nHug e amounts of Intelligent Content Objects or KCOs will\nlikely be stored on a\nspecial form of grids called Data Grids [2]. They will allow\nfast sto rage\, indexing\nand retrieval of content information in a short amount of \ntime. For example an\nintelligent content object capturing information a bout a\nmovie can be replicated or\ntransformed using different services. The space needed to\nstore these objects grows\nalong with the number of o perations invoked on these\nobjects. Therefor a huge amount\nof disk space is required which can be hopefully provided by\nthe Data Grid.\n\nThe hug e amount of storage capabilities is not the only\naspect where Grid and\nS emantic Grid technologies could could empower our GRISINO\ninfrastructure. The other\nhuge scale dimension aspect relates to the huge\ncomputational capabilities provided\nby Grid. This integration dimension between Intell igent\nContent Objects and Grid\nCommuting will also be investigated in ou r integration\nsolution. Coming back to our\nprevious example it is likely that an intelligent content\nobject capturing\ninformation about a movie will require allot of\ncomputational power when processed by\nservices hos ted by GRISINO common system infrastructure\n(e.g. a movie rendering\nserv ice). Such power could be easily provided by a\nComputational Grid that ex poses\ncomputers and computers clusters as a uniform accessible\ncomputati onal platform.\n\n3 Conclusion\n\nFinally\, we believe that the research i n Semantic Web\nService provide a solid basis\nfor an integrated service o riented Semantic Grid.\nFurthermore we believe that the new\nSemantic Grid infrastructure which will emerge by combining\nGrid and Semantic Web\nser vices will provided a robust and flexible infrastructure\nfor intelligent\ nmanipulation of information content. Our work on the\nintegration aspects mentioned\nabove has just started. We plan to further investigate the\nin tegration points\npreviously mentioned and to prove our ideas by developin g an\nexperimental testbed -\nthe GRISINO platform.\n\n4 Acknowledgements\ n\nThe work is funded by the FIT-IT (Forschung\, Innovation\,\nTechnologie - Infor-\nmationstechnologie) under the project GRISINO - Grid\nsemantics and intelligent\nobjects.

The project will identif y and define a new class of applications that are\nhighly significant for Grid computing but have not been studied in the past\, which we\ncharacter ise as Real-Time Online Interactive Applications (ROIA). The distinctive\n features that make ROIA unique include large user concurrency to a single application\ninstance\, ad-hoc connections\, competition-oriented Virtual Organisations\, real-time\ninteractive response\, dynamically changing con trol and data application flows whilst\nmaintaining high Quality of Servic e (QoS)\, user friendly security\, and novel\nBusiness-to-Consumer market models. In order to overcome these challenges\, the\nproject team will dev elop a new middleware layer that will allow ROIA to exploit Grid\ncomputin g and validate the system using two pilot applications from online gaming and\ne-learning domains. Edutain@Grid is expected to be of key interest to game developers\nand publishing companies by tackling some current key in dustry challenges: (1) larger\nuser concurrency and high QoS ranging betwe en 64128 players for fast action online\ngames to thousand of players i n persistent Massively Multi-user Online Role Playing\nGames (MMORPG)\; (2 ) standard API and scalable networks for cheaper integration and\nonline g ame hosting.\n\nSimilarly the benefits to the e-learning community are exp ected to be significant\nwhere large numbers of geographically disparate s tudents can interact with\ninstructors making use of large operational dat a sets. In particular this will be\nrelevant to online simulations in scie ntific modelling applications used in the\nenergy\, defence\, transport an d legal market sectors. Furthermore Edutain@Grid is\nexpected to attract n ew developers and development ideas that were not previously\npossible or simply cost prohibitive.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?c ontribId=4&sessionId=131&confId=1504 LOCATION:CICG Conf.

Such systems can be describ ed by a set of constraint biochemical\nreactions and translated into a sys tem of differential equations. Each reaction has\nsubstrates and products with given stoichiometries\, and modifiers or catalysts that\naffect the r eaction kinetics. Often the topology of these biochemical reaction\nsystem s is known and available from databases\, but the detailed reaction kineti cs and\ntheir kinetic parameters are not well known. To overcome this prob lem we propose a\nMonte-Carlo approach\, where we simulate different biolo gical scenarios of certain\ninterest with kinetic parameters chosen from a given random distribution. By\nrepeating these simulations several times with different sets of kinetic parameters\ndifferences in the behaviour of the different models that reflect certain biological\nscenarios can be id entified. Depending on the size of the model a single simulation\ncan take several minutes to up to an hour so that for this approach an immense\nco mputational power is required. To do this in a maintainable time a paralle lisation\nof the approach is required. We will present this approach and i ts realisation using\nthe EGEE grid technology.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/c ontributionDisplay.py?contribId=309&sessionId=130&confId=1504 LOCATION:CICG Conf.

The\nproviders are the individual s and the organisations that decide to make available\,\nunder the supervi sion of the infrastructure\, their resources according to certain\naccess and use policies. The consumers are the user communities that want to buil d\ntheir own DLs. The resources managed by this broker are of different ty pes:\ncollections (i.e.\, set of information objects searchable and access ible through a\nsingle “access point”)\, services (i.e.\, software too ls implementing a specific\nfunctionality and whose descriptions\, interfa ces and bindings are defined and\npublicly available)\, hosting nodes (i.e .\, networked entities that offer computing and\nstorage capabilities and supply an environment for hosting collections and services)\,\nand EGEE re sources (i.e.\, computing elements and storage elements).\nIn order to sup port the controlled sharing of resources among providers and\nconsumers\, the Diligent infrastructure relies on the virtual organizations (VOs)\nmec hanism that has been introduced in the Grid research area. This mechanism models\nset of users and resources aggregated together by highly controlle d sharing rules\,\nusually based on an authentication framework. \nBy expl oiting appropriate mechanisms provided by the infrastructure\, providers\n register their Diligent resources by supplying a description of them. Acco rding to\nthe type of resources provided\, the infrastructure also automat ically extracts other\nproperties that are used to enrich the explicit des cription. The infrastructure takes\ncare of the management of the register ed resources by supporting their discovery\,\nmonitoring\, reservation\, a nd by implementing the functionality needed to support the\nrequired contr olled sharing and quality of service. \nA user community can create one or more DLs by specifying a set of requirements and\nby appropriately combin ing the available resources. These requirements specify\nconditions on the information space (e.g.\, the set of collections\, subject of the\nconten t\, documents type)\, on the services for supporting the work of the users (e.g.\,\ntype of search)\, on the quality of service (e.g.\, availability \, performance\,\nsecurity) and on many other aspects\, like the maximum c ost\, lifetime\, etc. The DL\nbroker satisfies the given requirements by s electing\, and in many cases also\ndeploying\, a number of resources among those accessible to the community\, gluing them\nappropriately and\, fina lly\, making the new DL application accessible through a portal.\nThe comp osition of a DL is dynamic since the infrastructure continuously monitors the\nstatus of the DL resources and\, if necessary\, changes them in order to offer the best\nquality of service. Therefore\, DLs (possibly serving different communities) can be\ncreated and modified on-the-fly\, without c onsiderable investments and changes in the\norganisations that set them up .\n\nThe potential of the Diligent infrastructure is being demonstrated an d validated over\ntwo complementary real-life application scenarios derivi ng from the environmental\ne-Science\, named ImpECt\, and the cultural her itage\, named ARTE\, domains. \nImpECt (Implementation of Environmental Co nventions) includes leading actors in the\nenvironmental sector\, and is r epresented by the European Space Agency (ESA). This\ncommunity exploits th e DILIGENT to support conference organisation and the\npreparation of proj ects and periodical reports. International and regional\nconventions relat ed to earth observation represent the framework for formulating\ninternati onal environmental agreements. These conventions are continuously evolving \nand thematic areas are specialising. Yet\, information sources are dispe rsed among\nenvironmental agencies and a DILIGENT-based DL could be the mo st appropriate tool to\nenable this community to more effectively coordina te actions.\nARTE is a community of scholars located all over the world\, working together to\nestablish a new discipline that merges experiences fr om research in humanities\,\nsocial sciences and communication. In order t o achieve their objectives these\nresearchers require a common background knowledge base. The DILIGENT platform\nprovides them\, in a short time fra mework\, a cost-effective instrument for setting up\nDLs\, i.e. common mul timedia knowledge repositories equipped with a number of\nservices\, speci fically tailored to the needs of this community. The ARTE community is\nre presented in DILIGENT by the Scuola Normale Superiore (SNS)\, one of the p artners\ncontributing rich archives of texts and images. Audio-video conte nt is being provided\nby the Italian National Broadcasting RAI Educational .\n\nThe Diligent project is currently testing the first prototype that wi ll be delivered\nby the end of September ’06. \nAccording to the Diligen t implementation plan\, this version is not fully-fledged.\nRather it supp orts the basic DL functionalities required to satisfy the main user\ncommu nities’ requirements. All the DL functionalities: (i) have been designed in\naccordance with the Service Oriented Architecture paradigm\, (ii) hav e been\nimplemented as WSRF compliant service elements\, and (iii) are pow ered by the EGEE\ngLite middleware components. \nIn particular\, this prot otype provides:\n• On-demand services deployment on nodes equipped with the Diligent VO box\;\n• Content security handling (access and watermark ing policies)\;\n• Semantic content management over a gLite superimposed storage management layer\;\n• Metadata management and indexing\;\n• A nnotation management and visualisation\;\n• Complex process visual desig n\, verification\, optimisation and execution\;\n• Text\, image\, sound\ , video and multimedia content processing\;\n• Information visualisation \;\n• Information retrieval out of structured\, semi-structured and unst ructured data\;\n• Support for application-specific extensions.\n\nIn ad dition to the above functionalities\, application specific ones have been\ nintegrated to better support the two user communities.\nThe aim of this t alk is to present the Diligent prototype. In particular\, the talk\nfocuse s on a specific functionality\, relevant to the ARTE community\, dealing w ith the\nmanagement of copyrighted videos on the gLite based Grid infrastr ucture. It has been\nimplemented exploiting the process visual design\, ve rification\, and optimisation\ncapabilities to combine content and metadat a management\, content security handling\,\nand indexing. The so designed workflow allows to import\, secure\, and make available\ngeneric set of vi deos originally stored in a storage device. This complex workflow\nhas bee n executed on the Diligent sites belonging to the EGEE PPS infrastructure and\na set of statistics have been collected.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/con tributionDisplay.py?contribId=229&sessionId=131&confId=1504 LOCATION:CICG Conf.

User-level scheduling is a light software\ntechnique t hat enables new\ncapabilities to be added and QoS characteristics and \nr eliability to be improved\, \non top of the existing Grid middleware and infrastructure.\n\nUser-level scheduling techniques may be used to reduce\n the job turnaround \ntime and to provide a more stable and p redictable job\noutput rate. Splitting \nthe processing into many fine -grained tasks improves the\nload balancing and \nensures that the work er nodes are used\nefficiently. As the result the computing resources ma y be\nreturned to the Grid\nfaster.

Grid\ntechnologies focus on a robust and extensible\ninfra structure. Agent systems\nconcentrate on autonomous and flexible behaviour s. Both\nwould benefit from utilising\nthe relative strengths of the other . Motivated by this\ndesire\, we review the current\nstate of the art of b oth areas\, review the challenges that\nboth communities face and\nexamine current attempts to develop an integrated strategy\nthat promises an enha nced\nsymbiosis between the two approaches.

They are even more\nfrustrating when their cause is not\nclear. And the GR ID is not an exception. For example\,\nsubmitting a job to the GRID\nand g etting back an error is frustrating. Not knowing if the\nerror was due to\ nsomething you did\, some middleware glitch or a site problem\nmakes it ev en worse. \n\nOur goal was to tackle this problem. In order to do that\,\n the first thing is to\nunderstand the different error messages reported ba ck to the\nusers. We went through\nthe most common error messages: first\, investigating the\nunderlying problems\; then\ncategorizing\, and if poss ible\, helping the responsible to\nfix it\; and finally\nmonitoring if tha t error message disappeared. \n\nOne common reason for job failures is sit e misconfiguration.\nBeing able to detect\nsuch a misconfiguration as soon as possible helps in several\nways: first of all\, it\nminimizes the time that it takes to bring the site back to a\nnormal state\; moreover\,\ndeb ugging it is easier\, since the problem happened in the\nrecent past.\n\nI n the next chapters we will describe in more detail the\nstudy that we did for some\nof the error messages. We will also describe the tools that\nwe created to monitor the\nsite efficiency.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contrib utionDisplay.py?contribId=157&sessionId=151&confId=1504 LOCATION:CICG URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=157&sessionId=1 51&confId=1504 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Anders Grangard eBus Director GS1 - Supply chain visibility with GS1 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060925T142000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060925T144000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T220252Z UID:indico-contribution-1504-156@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: GRANGARD\, Anders ()\nGS1 is a not-for-profit organi sation that develops global\nstandards for the unique identification of go ods and\nservices with offices in 104 countries around the world.

The efforts made in the\npr oject \nincludes a wide range of activities from the deployment and\nmanag ement \nof this vast infrastructure or middleware development\, to\nuser t raining. \nAmong them\, application porting is of crucial interest to\nthe scientific \ncommunity. In this context\, we have seen a proliferation of \nweb portals \nand ad-hoc middleware developments to ease the use of Grid \nby different \nscientist communities. However the actual infrastructure\ nlacks of a \ncommon\, consistent and general application development\nfra mework.\n\n The use of standard Grid Application Programming\nInterfaces (APIs) \ncould aid the rapid development and distribution of\napplications across \nthe Grid. Moreover\, the use of a standard API will help new\nus ers to \nport their applications to an unfamiliar environment\; and\nwill minimize \nthe impact of the modifications on the EGEE middleware\, as the \ninterfaces would remain unchanged.\n\n In this sense\, the Distribute d Resource Management\nApplication API \n(DRMAA) GGF specification constit utes an homogeneous\ninterface to \ndifferent Distributed Resource Managem ent Systems (DRMS) to\nhandle job \nsubmission\, monitoring and control\, and retrieval of\nfinished job \nstatus. The DRMAA standard represents a s uitable and\nportable framework \nto express scientific distributed comput ations. Also\, DRMAA\ncould reduce \nthe application development cycle. A Grid application could be \ndeveloped\, tested and debugged using the orga nization local\ncluster \n-DRMAA implementations includes Condor\, SGE and PBS- and\nthen executed \non the EGEE Grid using the GridWay Metaschedule r.\n\n In this demonstration we will show how to use DRMAA to\ndevelop Gr id\napplications. As an example we will consider a Fusion Ray\nTracing \na pplication\, part of the NA4 Fusion activities. In\nparticular\, we will \ nuse the DRMAA C and JAVA implementations provided by\nGridWay\, and \nres ources from the Fusion VO. GridWay is an open-source\nmeta-scheduler \nwhi ch gives end users\, application developers and managers\nof Grid \ninfras tructures a scheduling functionality similar to that\nfound on \nlocal DRM S. Additionally\, we will show in this demonstration\nGridWay \nscheduling and resource management functionality\, and\ncommand line \ninterface.\n\ nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=5&sessionId=149&co nfId=1504 LOCATION:CICG URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=5&sessionId=149 &confId=1504 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
