Description
This session demonstrates and trains on the current results of the DILIGENT project (http://www.diligentproject.org). It is organized in two slots.
The first slot (14:00-15:30), titled 'the gCube framework', introduces the gCube middleware for resource sharing (http://www.gcube-system.org). This middleware manages to share computing, content and service resources by exploiting gLite and GT4 . The architecture, the technical solutions, and how services and resources are transparently consumable by WSRF services are illustrated.
This slot is intended for a technical audience.
The second slot (16.00-17.30), titled 'infrastructure and applications', presents and discusses the implementation and the exploitation of the DILIGENT infrastructure to address the needs of heterogeneous user communities. In particular, an overview of the existing DILIGENT infrastructure and two concrete application scenarios are presented.
A place for discussion of similar experiences concludes the slot.
This slot is intended for a general audience.

Dr Pasquale Pagano (CNR - ISTI)04/10/2007, 14:05A brief overview of the gCube framework is provided. In particular, this talk presents the way it embeds and exploits gLite by offering a feature full platform for distributed hosting and management of web services; storage, retrieval, and access of raw data and information; and a framework for extending state-of-the-art indexing, selection, fusion, extraction, description, annotation,...Go to contribution page

Evangelos Floros (Unknown)04/10/2007, 14:20This talk presents gCube's approach to define, run, and optimize complex process-based applications n the Grid. Following the idea of programming-in-the-large, gCube first supports a powerful graphical user interface for the composition of both Grid services and jobs into processes. Second, gCube provides a fully distributed approach to process (workflow) management that avoids any single...Go to contribution page

Paolo Roccetti (Engineering Ingegneria Informatica)04/10/2007, 14:35In Virtual Research Environments, the management of service identities must face with issues related to the dynamic services deployment in the infrastructure. This talk briefly presents how these issues have been solved in the gCube framework.Go to contribution page

Dr Pasquale Pagano (CNR-ISTI)04/10/2007, 14:45This talk introduces the gCube Content and Storage Management that provides means for persistently storing and physically structuring any content in a Grid-enabled VRE. In addition, it presents novel approach to advanced replication in the Grid that allows for increased availability of content in a VRE.Go to contribution page

George Kakaletris (University of Athens)04/10/2007, 15:00This talk presents the gCube Search Framework that is the orchestrator of the Information Retrieval process, distributed in its nature. It consolidates query and environment information, prepares and plans retrieval execution and ultimately offers the gluing elements that bring together all the independent components into a meaningful and performant collaboration. The gCube Search Framework...Go to contribution page

Pedro Andrade (CERN)04/10/2007, 16:00This talk gives on overview of the DILIGENT infrastructure highlighting its different constituents. It is explained how gCube and gLite are made available to enable the creation of Virtual Research Environments. In particular it is explained the importance of the DILIGENT Hosting Node (DHN) to host the gCube services and how the gLite services are associated with the EGEE PPS infrastructure....Go to contribution page

Andrea Manzi (CNR - ISTI)04/10/2007, 16:10The goal of the ImpECt scenario is to improve accessibility, interoperability and usability of environmental data, models, tools, algorithms and instruments integrating the distributed data sources with specialized data handling services. In particular, the DILIGENT infrastructure is used as a means for supporting the preparation of projects and periodical reports on specific environmental...Go to contribution page

Dr Matteo Mordacchini (CNR - ISTI)04/10/2007, 16:30SAPIR is an EU project aimed to extend the power of web searches beyond centralized text and metadata searches to include distributed audio-visual content. By exploiting the DILIGENT infrastructure, a large collection of images, counting 100 millions of objects, is under processing with the aim to generate the bigger data set of image features than at any time before. The result of this data...Go to contribution page
