GLIF Workshop (1/5) (90 mins)
Erik-Jan Bos (SURFnet) & Gigi Karmous-Edwards (MCNC)
Workshop on automating the connection of lightpaths for data-intensive scientific research.
The Global Lambda Integrated Facility (GLIF) is a global virtual organisation that promotes lambda networking, and involves (National) Research and Education Networks, consortia and institutions who agree to share their lambda resources for use in data-intensive scientific research.
This workshop will focus on the ongoing activities to design and implement an international lambdagrid infrastructure, and to provide relevant functions and services should be provided. This includes the identification and documentation of best practices, the development of a database of technical resources that combine scheduling mechanisms, investigating automation of control plane mechanisms, and helping define control plane architectures for Grids
