The medical field offers a wide and challenging scenario in which new grid applications can be developed to improve collaborative work between scientists. The development of grid-based medical applications needs to take into account some key factors such as the need to conform to strict legal constraints in terms of data privacy and security. Moreover physicians are quite reluctant to use new...

When dealing with grid environments, grid middelware are powerful tools for the development of computational servers able to exploit the available resources. But managing a grid middleware, and a fortiori the grid environment itself can be a hard task when no dedicated tools exist. Some are usable through nice graphical interfaces, but they are all dedicated to one or some limited tasks and do...

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

Demonstration
Nowadays, many biomedicine studies are dealing with large, distributed, and heterogeneous repositories as well as with computationally demanding analyses. Complex integration techniques are more often required to handle this complexity, even if for small sized applications, when they are intrinsically distributed: this particular scenario is frequently found in medical informatics...

* Data management requirements
The data has to be handled directly by end-users. It is thus mandatory to set up a high-level data management tool providing a uniform view of distributed storage. A user-level file access control is also required to prevent users from ruining someone else's experiment because of wrong data manipulations.
Although the Logical File Catalog provides a uniform...

Scientific Results Obtained Using Grid Technology
Demonstration
Two representative fusion applications have been chosen to show the power of grid computing for this community. The first is the grid-based stellarator optimization, run in the RDIG VO; the second is Ion Kinetic Transport, which is running in the fusion VO.
Both applications have been successfully ported from a supercomputer to the EGEE infrastructure. The porting of the first implied the use...

The g-Eclipse framework requires stable and reliable basic Grid services like information systems, data replication systems and resource brokers. g-Eclipse is a JAVA application and requires either JAVA APIs or well defined WS descriptions for the basic Grid services, which are independent of the Grid operation system.
For the demo, only a computer with JAVA and an arbitrary OS (Windows,...

Decoupling routing aspects from data access, the GRelC DAIS can be used in several data integration scenarios. Some examples are: integration of information stored within several distributed metadata DBs for Earth Science to perform queries across distributed collections described by a common metadata model; distributed queries on accounting services deployed at several sites (e.g. APEL or...

The input files of a node (job or service call) of a P-GRADE workflow can come from file systems, like SRM or SRB, or from database management systems via OGSA-DAI and the results can also be fed into any of these solutions. Both the file systems and the databases can be located in different production grids, and the jobs of the workflow can also be mapped to different grids. These grids can...

The grid user support model in EGEE can be captioned "regional support with central coordination". This model is realised through a support process which is clearly defined and involves all the parties that are needed to run a project-wide support service. This process is sustained by a help desk system which consists of a central platform integrated with several satellite systems belonging to...

The I/O of Astronomical Applications almost always involve one or more databases. Grids unable to directly access databases force users to access databases off-line and transfer data of interest in classical SEs before the execution of the applications. Similarly, output will be stored in classical SEs and transferred to a database off-line after the termination of the application. This way of...

A huge amount of work has been devoted to satisfy chemical community requirements on the grid. The activity of CompChem, Gaussian and VOCE VOs has been mainly focussed on the grid ports of chemical software packages and on the development of grid tools that simplify job manipulation and workflows, automating complex data management tasks. The ports targeted commercial software packages like...

The environment evolved throughout the development: It was first made of a set of scripts that generate the jobs, submit the files and check regularly their status while they are on the Grid. Through this abstract we want to present the new environement that is based on the AMGA metadata catalog for more flexibility and on a Java environment that can be used through web services. The...
