Report on the experience (or the proposed activity). It would be very important to mention key services which are essential for the success of your activity on the EGEE infrastructure.
In the present contribution the status of the various activities of the two Projects
as well as the applications running on the e-Infrastructures will be presented
providing the audience with a real example of a regional grid for communities
belonging both to Research and Industry.
Describe the added value of the Grid for the scientific/technical activity you (plan to) do on the Grid. This should include the scale of the activity and of the potential user community and the relevance for other scientific or business applications
The entire infrastructure of the two Projects mentioned above is built on top of the
gLite Middleware and will eventually join the EGEE production service through the
Italian Grid Infrastructure.
With a forward look to future evolution, discuss the issues you have encountered (or that you expect) in using the EGEE infrastructure. Wherever possible, point out the experience limitations (both in terms of existing services or missing functionality)
.
Describe the scientific/technical community and the scientific/technical activity using (planning to use) the EGEE infrastructure. A high-level description is needed (neither a detailed specialist report nor a list of references).
Two big Projects, TriGrid VL (http://www.trigid.it) and PI2S2 (http://www.pi2s2.it),
financed by Sicilian Regional Government and Italian Ministry of University and
Research, respectively, with a total budget of about 15 M€, are changing completely
the way of doing e-Science and industrial pre-competitive research in the South of
Italy. All academic and research Institutes operating in Sicily as well as several
SMEs are involved in the two Projects.
