The LHC experiments ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb are preparing for data acquisition planned to start in 2008. The LHC experiments are relying on several GRID infrastructures (LCG/EGEE, OSG, NDGF). Providing the reliable monitoring system which enables the transparent view of the experiment activities across different middleware platforms and combines the Grid monitoring data with information...

The Bookkeeping (Bkk) is a crucial component in the LHCb software infrastructure, both for the production, as it registers and uploads to the database all newly produced files, as well as for the data analysis, since it is the tool which allows physicists to retrieve datasets and their metadata.
The motivation for this activity on the Bkk arises from requirements of the physicists, who...

Today’s Grid usage is still very far from the simplicity and functionality of the web.
While pressing for middleware usability, we try to turn the Global Grid User Support (GGUS) into the central tool for identifying areas in the support environment that need attention. To do this, we exploit GGUS' capacity to expand, by including new Support Units that follow the project's operational...

R-GMA is currently being used by APEL, the ARDA Dashboard and Service Discovery on the LCG grid and by Grid Ireland. APEL uses a producer at each site to publish accounting data. A consumer is used to accumulate all of the data in a central location where it is migrated off line for later analysis. The ARDA dashboard has a consumer that pulls in monitoring data about the status of grid jobs as...
