Description
As sustainability is becoming ever-so important, the realization of infrastructures on a national/regional basis are emerging to the forefront of recent Grid projects and joint collaborations. This session, broken into two 90-minute intervals, demonstrates a variety of these projects and collaborations covering the latest developments and services using the EGEE infrastructure and other national/regional infrastructures.
A variety of regions have shown signs of growth and maturation over the past few years, namely Africa, Latin American, Sicily and South Africa. Each will be presenting how Grid technologies have been recently applied and specific results achieved either in HPC applications, integration of national infrastructures into EGEE, illustration of Service Grids vs. Opportunistic Grids or regional GILDA activities ensuring that new users can fully understand the characteristics of the Grid services offered.
The EGEE infrastructure has also opened doors to new collaborations and service offerings in specific sectors such as bioinformatics together with the LIBI project and interconnection of other Grid technologies such as BOINC Grid through the EDGeS project.
Finally, this session offers participants and inside look at new opportunities for new use cases to obtain early access to EGEE services and WLCG user communities through the EGEE-III Pre-Production Service.
