    Data access on the grid
    Oral contribution
    1. The technique addressed in connection with concrete use cases In a GRID environment the main components that manages the jobs life are the Grid Resource Framework Layer, the Grid Information System Framework and the Grid Information Data Model. Since the job life is strongly coupled with its computational environment then the Grid middleware must be aware of the specific computing...

    Introduction AMI (ATLAS Metadata Interface) is a developing application, which stores and allows access to dataset metadata for the ATLAS experiment. It is a response to the large number of database-backed applications needed by an LHC experiment called ATLAS, all with similar interface requirements. It fulfills the need of many applications by offering a generic web service and servlet...

    Data access on the grid
    Oral contribution
    We present the ARDA Metadata Grid Application (AMGA) which is part of the gLite middleware. AMGA provides a lightweight service to manage, store and retrieve simple relational data on the grid, termed metadata. In this presentation we will first give an overview of AMGA's design, functionality, implementation and security features. AMGA was designed in close collaborations with the...

    Oral contribution
    Oracle is known as a database vendor, but has much more to offer than data storage solutions. Some key Oracle products that are in use or are being currently full-scale tested at CERN will be discussed in this talk. It will primarily be an open discussion and interactive feedback from the audience is more than welcome The following topics will be discussed: Oracle Client...

    Data access on the grid
    Oral contribution
    In this paper we describe the architecture and implementation of the gLite File Transfer Service (FTS) and list the most basic deployment scenarios. The FTS is addressing the need to manage massive wide-area data transfers on dedicated network channels while allowing the involved sites and users to manage their policies. The FTS manages the transfers in a robust way, allowing for an...

    Data access on the grid
    Oral contribution
    The medical community is routinely using clinical images and associated medical data for diagnosis, intervention planning and therapy follow-up. Medical imaging is producing an increasing number of digital images for which computerized archiving, processing and analysis are needed. Grids are promising infrastructures for managing and analyzing the huge medical...

    SPIDR (Space Physics Interactive Data Resource) is a de facto standard data source on solar-terrestrial physics, functioning within the framework of the ICSU World Data Centers. It is a distributed database and application server network, built to select, visualize and model historical space weather data distributed across the Internet. SPIDR can work as a fully-functional web-application...

    Data access on the grid
    Oral contribution
    Nowadays huge amounts of information are searched and used by people from all over the world, but it is not always easy to find out what one is looking for. Search engines helps a lot, but they do not provide a standard and uniform way to make queries. The challenge of gLibrary is to design and develop a robust system to handle Multimedia Contents in a easy, fast and secure way...
