Description
The EELA project aims at building a grid infrastructure in Latin
America and at attracting users to this infrastructure. The EELA
infrastructure is based on the gLite middleware, developed by the EGEE
project. A test-bed, including several European and Latin American
countries, was set up in the first months of the project. Several
applications from different areas, especially Bio-medicine and High
Energy Physics were deployed immediately and others, from climate and
e-learning, were added during the second half of the first year of the
project. In High Energy Physics, EELA currently provides resources to
ALICE and LHCb. Work on resources for ATLAS in EELA is on its way and
collaborations have been established with the Latin American CMS
groups.
We will present the experience of the first 18 months of EELA and the
current status. Finally, we will present the plans for future grid
developments supporting the collaboration between Europe and Latin
America, with particular emphasis on setting up a sustainable
infrastructure.
