Description
The session aims at gathering mainly EGEE developers and integrators but also the European Grid community at large to discuss the benefits and possible issues related to the integration of the ETICS services in the European Grid Infrastructure. Currently ETICS uses Metronome for the management of build and test jobs, that are submitted to nodes maintained within the ETICS project. The ETICS 2 project is extending the job management of the ETICS services in order to use gLite submission facilities. This will allow the integration of the ETICS services in the EGEE infrastructure. The same work is being carried out using UNICORE. The integration will allow an easy deployment of the ETICS services on the EGEE infrastructure and the infrastructures using UNICORE.
After a general overview of the ETICS system and a description of existing and planned features, the rationale behind the integration of ETICS within EGEE will be discussed. A more technical description of the ETICS build and test job submission mechanism and its integration with gLite-based resources will be given. Finally some examples of usage of ETICS in EGEE and related projects will be presented and followed by a Q/A session
