Description
The User Forum demonstration session traditionally provides the opportunity to mature research work and scientific activities, exposing highly interactive and visually appealing characteristics, to come and present their latest achievements. This year 20 demonstrations have been selected to be presented in two demo slots. For this purpose, the demonstrations are split in two groups each one scheduled for a different day. The first group of 10 demonstrations will be on display during the first slot on Monday afternoon, in parallel with the welcome cocktail, whereas the second group will be presented on Wednesday afternoon. Both sessions will be run in parallel with the poster sessions on display in the same area in the venue.
The demonstrations have been split into two logical groups based on their focus. Thus, on Monday the session will host demonstrations with more scientific focus; i.e. activities who will present scientific results achieved using a large scale Distributed Computing Infrastructures. On Wednesday, the interest will shift to more technical demonstrations, with the scheduled presentations focusing on advanced tools and technologies that facilitate the end-user/DCI interaction as well as on international projects and collaborations, which strive to extend and expand the current horizons of DCI infrastructure to novel technologies and paradigms. Some of these activities have been demonstrated in previous events, thus the attendees will have the opportunity to check upon their progress and be informed about latest results. Others, will be demonstrated for the first time.
Finally as with previous events, the best demonstrations will be selected form the EGEE External Advisory Committee and the event attendees. The best demos will be announced and awarded during the eventโs closing plenary on Thursday.

Mr Antonio Gรณmez-Iglesias (CIEMAT), Dr Francisco Castejรณn (CIEMAT)14/04/2010, 16:00Scientific results obtained using distributed computing technologiesDemonstrationSimulating a full fusion Tokamak requires a range of codes and applications which address different aspects of the plasma and at specific ranges of space and time scales. The computational complexity of all these tools is so high that only paradigms like grid computing or HPC allow to carry out all the simulations. The EUFORIA project enables the European fusion modelling community to exploit...Go to contribution page

Mr Alessio Rocchi (ENEA), Dr Andrea Santoro (ENEA)14/04/2010, 16:10End-user environments, scientific gateways and portal technologiesDemonstrationA simple and flexible user access to applications is the final target for any system providing access to computational resources, even more for highly abstract infrastructures as grids and clouds. In this work we present a portal to the EGEE user that allows to submit widely used scientific softwares as jobs to EGEE. The main target of this interface is to hide from the end user low-level...Go to contribution page

Prof. Dana Petcu (West University of Timisoara), Mr Silviu Panica (West University of Timisoara)14/04/2010, 16:20Experiences from application porting and deploymentDemonstrationCurrent applications involving satellite data need huge computational power and storage capacities. Grid computing technologies that have evolved in the last decade promise to make feasible the creation of an environment, for these kinds of applications, which can handle hundreds of distributed databases, heterogeneous computing resources, and simultaneous users. In this context the recent...Go to contribution page

Dr Sergio Maffioletti (Grid computing Competence Center (GC3), university of Zurich.)14/04/2010, 16:30Software services exploiting and/or extending grid middleware (gLite, ARC, UNICORE etc)DemonstrationGRIDSEED provides a simple tool to setup up a portable fully fledged gLite grid infrastructure based on virtual machines. It exploits the concept of โgrid in a boxโ providing a self-containing grid that could be easily deployed in any existing infrastructure for training and dissemination purposes. In this work we present a recent effort to include ARC middleware in the original GRIDSEED...Go to contribution page

Mr Peter Linnell (INRIA), Mr Yvon Jegou (INRIA)14/04/2010, 16:50National and international activities and collaborationsDemonstrationThe XtreemOS operating system provides for Grids what a traditional operating system offers for a single computer: abstraction from the hardware and secure resource sharing between different users. When a user runs an application on XtreemOS, the operating system automatically finds all resources necessary for the execution, configures userโs credentials on the selected resources and starts...Go to contribution page

Prof. Francisco Brasileiro (UFCG)14/04/2010, 17:10Software services exploiting and/or extending grid middleware (gLite, ARC, UNICORE etc)DemonstrationWe present how idle disk space available at desktops and worker nodes in computing elements can be used to implement the file system back-end of a gLite storage element. We developed the BeeFS to federate the distributed disks. Like some special-purpose file systems (eg. GFS), it uses a hybrid architecture that follows a client-server approach for serving metadata and manage file replicas, and...Go to contribution page

Mr Marcin Plociennik (PSNC), Milan Prica (Sincrotrone Trieste S.C.p.A.)14/04/2010, 17:20Experiences from application porting and deploymentDemonstrationWe present here the final results obtained in the context of the EU FP7 project Deployment of Remote Instrumentation Infrastrucutre project. This is one of the EGEE related projects. We present here the oceanographic and coastal observation and modeling using an imaging use case for demonstrating the usage of the remote instrumentation infrastrucure. The remote instrumentation techniques and...Go to contribution page

Mr Tamas Kiss (University of Westminster)14/04/2010, 17:30Scientific results obtained using distributed computing technologiesDemonstrationCarbohydrate recognition is a phenomenon critical to a number of biological functions in humans. Computer programs which can provide insight into such biological recognition processes have significant potential to contribute to biomedical research if the results of the simulation can prove consistent with the outcome of conventional wet laboratory experiments. In order to validate these...Go to contribution page
