Mr Philippe Galvez (California Institute of Technology)03/09/2007, 14:20Collaborative toolsoral presentationThe EVO (Enabling Virtual Organizations) system is based on a new distributed and unique architecture, leveraging the 10+ years of unique experience of developing and operating the large distributed production based VRVS collaboration system. The primary objective being to provide to the High Energy and Nuclear Physics experiments a system/service that meet their unique requirements of...Go to contribution page

Mr Emmanuel Ormancey (CERN)03/09/2007, 14:40Collaborative toolsoral presentationThe need for Single Sign On has always been restricted by the lack of cross platform solutions: a single sign on working only on one platform or technology is nearly useless. The recent improvements in Web Services Federation (WS- Federation) standard enabling federation of identity, attribute, authentication and authorization information can now provide real extended Single Sign On...Go to contribution page

Prof. Richard McClatchey (University of the West of England)03/09/2007, 15:00Collaborative toolsoral presentationThe Health-e-Child (HeC) project is an EC Framework Programme 6 Integrated Project that aims at developing an integrated healthcare platform for paediatrics. Through this platform biomedical informaticians will integrate heterogeneous data and perform epidemiological studies across Europe. The main objective of the project is to gain a comprehensive view of a child's health by...Go to contribution page

Dr Maria Grazia Pia (INFN Genova)03/09/2007, 15:20Collaborative toolsoral presentationComputational tools originating from high energy physics developments provide solutions to common problems in other disciplines: this study presents quantitative results concerning the application of HEP simulation and analysis tools, and of the grid technology, to dosimetry for oncological radiotherapy. The study concerned all the three major radiotherapy techniques: therapy...Go to contribution page

Giulio Eulisse (Northeastern University)03/09/2007, 15:40Collaborative toolsoral presentationWe describe a relatively new effort within CMS to converge on a set of web based tools, using state of the art industry techniques, to engage with the CMS offline computing system. CMS collaborators require tools to monitor various components of the computing system and interact with the system itself. The current state of the various CMS web tools is described along side current planned...Go to contribution page

Mr Nicholas Robinson (CERN)05/09/2007, 16:30Collaborative toolsoral presentationCERN has long been committed to the free dissemination of scientific research results and theories. Towards this end, CERN's own institutional repository, the CERN Document Server (CDS) offers access to CERN works and to all related scholarly literature in the HEP domain. Hosting over 500 document collections containing more than 900,000 records, CDS provides access to anything from...Go to contribution page

Dr Douglas Smith (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center)05/09/2007, 16:50Collaborative toolsoral presentationInternational multi-institutional high energy physics experiments require easy means for collaborators to communicate coherently in a global community. To fill this need, the HyperNews system has been widely used in HEP. HyperNews is a discussion management system which is a hybrid between a web-base forum system and a mailing list system. Its goal is to provide a tool for distributed...Go to contribution page

Mr Jeremy Herr (University of Michigan)05/09/2007, 17:10Collaborative toolsoral presentationLarge scientific collaborations as well as universities have a growing need for multimedia archiving of meetings and courses. Collaborations need to disseminate training and news to their wide-ranging members, and universities seek to provide their students with more useful studying tools. The University of Michigan ATLAS Collaboratory Project has been involved in the recording and...Go to contribution page

Norman Graf (SLAC)05/09/2007, 17:30Collaborative toolsoral presentationHigh energy physics is replete with multi-dimensional information which is often poorly represented by the two dimensions of presentation slides and print media. Past efforts to disseminate such information to a wider audience have failed for a number of reasons, including a lack of standards which are easy to implement and have broad support. Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF)...Go to contribution page

Mr Keith Beattie (LBNL)05/09/2007, 17:50Collaborative toolsoral presentationIn this experiential paper we report on lessons learned during the development of the data acquisition software for the IceCube project - specifically, how to effectively address the unique challenges presented by a distributed, collaborative, multi-institutional, multi-disciplined project such as this. While development progress in software projects is often described solely in terms of...Go to contribution page
