Description
The discussion will follow the presentations of these several grid systems built to ease the user interface and workflows enactement on the Grid. This discussion, in order to initiate an overview about current usage of Grid by Sciences, will be angled firstly towards a user perspective in Biology. Some tracks about the future of Bioinformatics at a large and distributed scale will be presented from the current studies in Europe such as the EGEE Bioinformatics activity and the PORTAL working group, the EMBRACE EU-FP6 project, the ELIXIR EU-FP7 project, and also from some national initiatives about the usefulness of Grid for Biology like in the French Bioinformatics Network RENABI. Then the discussion will go over and try to make a statement of the current grid usage by Sciences, and the conceivable future.
