Europe/Zurich
500/1-001 - Main Auditorium (CERN)
Description
After defining what is meant by the term 'e-Science', this talk will survey the activity on e-Science and Grids in Europe. The two largest initiatives in Europe are the European Commission's portfolio of Grid projects and the UK e-Science program. The EU under its R&D Framework Program are funding nearly twenty Grid projects in a wide
variety of application areas. These projects are in varying stages of maturity and this talk will focus on a subset that have most significant progress. These include the EU DataGrid project led by CERN and two projects 'EuroGrid and Grip' that evolved from the German national Unicore project. A summary of the other EU Grid projects will be included. The UK e-Science initiative is a $180M programme entirely focused on e-Science applications requiring resource sharing, a virtual organization and a Grid infrastructure.
The talk will conclude with a survey of other Grid initiatives across Europe and look at possible future European
projects.
