Today's computing and storage requirements make EGEE Grid a perfect platform for
chemistry applications [1]. Despite the fact that a few quantum chemical codes have
been successfully ported to the Grid [2] there is still lack of commercial chemical
software that would be available for whole EGEE community. The main reasons blocking
wide use of commercial software are its license...

Edutain@Grid is an exciting and ground breaking new project making use of Grid
technology. The project will identify and define a new class of applications that are
highly significant for Grid computing but have not been studied in the past, which we
characterise as Real-Time Online Interactive Applications (ROIA). The distinctive
features that make ROIA unique include large user...

Geant4 is a general purpose toolkit for simulating the
tracking and interaction of particles through matter. It is
currently used in production in several particle physics
experiments (BaBar, HARP, ATLAS, CMS, LHCb), and it has
also applications in other areas, as space science, medical
applications, and radiation studies.
The complexity of the Geant4 code requires careful testing
of...

In the last 2 years, the ATLAS collaboration has been continuously running Monte
Carlo event simulation on the LCG/EGEE production grid. The ATLAS production system
is highly automated: jobs defined in a central database are handled by supervising
agents, submitted to and executed by the underlying Grid infrastructure. On the other
side, more recently the ATLAS Distributed Dada Management...
