AMGA Web Interface is the implementation of the metadata
interface designed by the
ARDA team and it is the official metadata service of the
EGEE gLite middleware. It
provides many interesting features: metadata organization in
a hierarchical
structure, users, groups and ACLs handling with X509
certificates/proxies support,
powerful SQL-like query language, replications....

The SPM software package, based on the comparison of the
candidate case to normal
cases through a Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM)
algorithm, is largely used by
the neurological research community to quantify ipometabolic
patterns in brain
PET/SPECT studies for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s
Disease (AD). Since the
accuracy of ipoperfusion maps is strictly related to...

DILIGENT is an ongoing EU IST project whose goal is to
deliver an infrastructure
making possible to define and dynamically create virtual
digital libraries by reusing
available resources. A virtual digital library is a pool of
resources dynamically
aggregated to meet the user requirements where these
resources range from information
sources to services exploiting computing and storage...

The demo shows two types of browser applications developed
on top of the gLite
metadata catalogue AMGA.
The first one is a generic database GUI which allows an
interactive exploration of
the metadata schema and entries plus the possibility to
issue SQL queries on the
catalogue itself.
The second one is a specialised version developed for the
LHCb experiments. In this
case the system...

Climate research is generally very data-intensive.
Observations, analysis and output
data of climate simulations are traditionally stored in
large archives and central
databases. In order to make this data searchable and
accessible for further analysis
and/or data comparison on the grid appropriate interfaces
between the existing data
storage systems and the EGEE infrastructure need to...

Dashboard project for CMS and ATLAS experiments has to
provide a single entry point
for the monitoring information collected from the
distributed computing systems of the
corresponding experiment.
One of the main functionalities provided by the experiment
dashboard is job monitoring.
Dashboard job monitoring service presents a complete view of
the experiment activity
on the Grid...

The EGEE project has created the largest production-level Grid
infrastructure in the world, which provides a level of
performance and
reliability never achieved before. The efforts made in the
project
includes a wide range of activities from the deployment and
management
of this vast infrastructure or middleware development, to
user training.
Among them, application porting is of...

Bioinformatics analysis of data produced by high-throughput
biology, for instance genome projects [1], is one of
the major challenges for the next years. Some of the
requirements of this analysis are to access up-to-date
databanks (of sequences, patterns, 3D structures, etc.) and
relevant algorithms (for sequence similarity, multiple
alignment, pattern scanning, etc.) [2]. Since 1998,...

Malaria is a dreadful disease affecting 300 million people
and killing 1.5 million
people every year. Drug resistance has emerged for all
classes of antimalarials
except artemisinins. This example illustrates the real need
for new drugs
against neglected diseases.
There are millions of chemical compounds available, but it
is nearly impossible
and very expensive to screen such a...

Recent studies have suggested that the high pathogenic avian
flu H5N1 virus has the
potential of developing drug resistance and of acquiring the
ability of
human-to-human transmission. To enable biologists a better
response to the threat,
the second EGEE biomedical data challenge battling avian flu
was set to screen
300,000 compounds against 8 predicted mutations of the
Influenza A...

Due to the dynamic and complex nature of the Grid, it’s not
easy to use it in a daily
work. To attract new users, especially from scientific
community, user friendly tools
are needed to simplify access to the Grid. To solve this
problem we introduce the
concept of Migrating Desktop Platform which is a graphical,
user oriented product
that simplifies the use of the grid technology in...

This application, ported routinely on EGEE, is to provide
first order informations
on seismic source for large Earthquakes occuring worldwide.
These informations are: the centroid, which corresponds to
the location
of the space-time barycenter of the rupture. In this
demonstration some
examples will be shown and the functionalities of LCG and
gLite used.

The P-GRADE portal plays more and more important role in the
life of various
Grid user communities. After several successful demos at the
biggest
conferences and Grid user forums in Europe, Asia and the US,
the
representatives of several Grids and Grid based Virtual
Organizations have
approached us and requested to support their communities by
the Portal. As a
result, the...

The EGEE infrastructure is the largest production
infrastructure (over 200 sites,
more than 15,000 CPUs and about 9 PB storage). High-Energy
Physics (notably
the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN),
Biomedical applications,
Earth Observation, Computational Chemistry and Nuclear
Fusion are depending
on the EGEE infrastructure.

Traditional developments in Grid technologies have
concentrated on providing batch
access to distributed computational and storage resources.
The requirements to
access, control, and acquire data from widely networked
distributed instruments
trigger the need to include a variety of new components. For
instance, scientific
equipment like sensors and probes are a need in nowadays
