Description
The creation, analysis and manipulation of data and
meta-data lie at the heart of Grid Computing. This Grid data
takes many forms and is widely distributed - characteristics
that are not normally associated with database management
systems (DBMS). However databases are today playing a major
part in the development of grid computing. Oracle will
facilitate a workshop to explore the use of DBMS within Grid
computing. A range of distribution models will be covered
together with data structure and access methods and two
contrasting case studies will also be presented. Industry
representatives and the R&D community are invited during the
session to share ideas and to understand what can be done
together to tackle open and specific issue related to the
handling of data in distributed environments.
Starting from the experiences presented, attendees are invited during and following the presentations to engage in a discussion to develop further ideas on how databases can best support data management in a Grid R&D environment and how the Scientific/R&D community and the Industry can best work together for the mutual benefit.
· Current experiences and common approaches
· Exchanging ideas and knowledge
· Identifying common challenges and missing features
· Outline possible solutions or steps forward
Contributions will come from:
Graeme Kerr - Oracle in R&D Programme Technical Architect, Oracle EMEA - Oracle’s approach to data distribution
Gordon Brown Database Service Manager, RAL, CCLRC - The UK National Grid Services
Dirk Duellmann Physics Service Manager, IT Dept., CERN - Data Replication on the CERN Grid
