The User Accounting system has simplified administration of users on the NGS.
Users who go over their allocated CPU hours find themselves warned when they reach 90% of their allocation, and automatically locked out when they reach 100%. They can apply for further resources using the online form. Since the system entered production in October 2006, it has locked 74 users out, of which 80%...

The LHC experiments perform most, if not all, of their computing activities on Grid resources. This requires an accurate and updated picture of the status of the Grid services used by them, and of the services which are specific to the experiment. To achieve this, a common method is to periodically execute tests on the services, where the functionalities tested may be different from a VO to...

Users of gUSE can be either grid application developers or end-users. Application developers can develop sophisticated workflow applications where workflows can be embeded into each other at any depth. Even recursive workflows allowed. gUSE enables to embed workflows derived from other workflow systems (e.g. Taverna, Triana, Kepler, etc.). gUSE supports the concept of workflow templates,...
