EGI User Forum 2011

Submitted by root on 17. January 2011 - 13:33


The EGI User Forum will be organised by EGI.eu, Vilnius University and LITNET in Vilnius, Lithuania, 11-15 April 2011, with the support of the EGI-InSPIRE and European Middleware Initiative (EMI) projects and local secretariat BAIP.

The conference will showcase the diversity of the user community within the European Grid Infrastructure through daily plenaries, oral presentations, poster sessions and co-located workshops.

The event aims to help all members of the EGI community, from end-users to application developers, operations staff and technology providers, to share their knowledge and build collaborations. The programme will also include numerous networking and social events and opportunities to ‘meet the experts’.

We look forward to meeting you in Vilnius!

Geosciences Applications on Grid and HPC

http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2010/session/1921
Using different Grid infrastructures or High Performance Computing (HPC)
and projects, there are many geosciences applications ported on to the
Grid or HPC. The applications use super computers as well as PC farms
and clusters or single CPUs.
This session gives geoscientists a unique opportunity to share knowledge
and different experiences and to provide examples to other geoscientists
that are not already aware of the benefits to use Grid and HPC.

ESSI14

Grid for Geosciences applications

In this session Grid middleware and tools developed by Informatics and
Grid developers to support Earth science applications will be presented.
Main focus is on Grid data management, workflow, web services and
portals. This session offers a unique opportunity to bridge Grid and
geoscience communities.

5th EGEE User Forum

Submitted by root on 7. December 2009 - 9:15

The User Forum is a key annual event organised by the Enabling Grids for E-sciencE (EGEE) project. The forum provides an important opportunity to scientific communities exploiting distributed infrastructure technologies, to present their work, discuss technology usage with colleagues, and learn about advances in middleware and application services.

The 5th EGEE User Forum will take place on 12-15 April 2010 in Uppsala, Sweden. The event is organized in collaboration with the European Grid Initiative (EGI) and the Nordic DataGrid Facility (NDGF), and will be hosted by the Swedish National Infrastructure for Computing (SNIC), the Uppsala Multidisciplinary Center for Advanced Computational Science (UPPMAX) and PDC - Center for High Performance Computing at KTH. This year the User Forum marks the end of the EGEE series of projects and the transition to a sustainable European e-Infrastructure model led by EGI, the European Grid Initiative. UF5 will help pave the ground for this transition by expanding its focus to cover a broader scope of European e-infrastructures and distributed computing technologies, providing the opportunity for the first time to all the relevant users community to meet, interact and collaborate.

The scientific programme consists of daily plenary sessions featuring distinguished keynote speakers, followed by parallel sessions focusing on e-Infrastructure use within the various user disciplines, and also on specific supporting technologies. Sessions for demonstrations and posters will augment the oral programme, and provide a key element of the forum.

The programme committee invites abstracts for contributions in one of following general topics:

• Planned or on-going scientific work and results obtained using distributed computing technologies,
• Data-intensive and data-oriented distributed applications,
• Experiences from application porting and deployment of existing software in distributed computing environments,
• Software services exploiting and/or extending grid middleware (gLite, ARC, UNICORE etc),
• Programming environments,
• End-user environments, scientific gateways and portal technologies,
• Emerging technologies within the European distributed computing infrastructures (cloud, virtualization etc),
• National and international activities and collaborations for share and exploitation of e-Infrastructures,
• Support services and tools for user communities.

Contributions may be offered the possibility of either an oral presentation, a poster or a demonstration. The Programme Committee will assume responsibility for assigning proposed contributions to the various parts of the event. The demonstrations can follow any of the above topics and must have a strong requirement for a visual or interactive presentation. Contributors should make sure that enough people will register and attend the User Forum in order for the demonstration to be manned continuously during one of the two dedicated demo sessions planned for Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon.

Important Dates:
Abstract submission opening date: 20th of October
Deadline for abstract submission: 7th of December
Notification of acceptance: 15th of January

EGEE '09 conference Barcelona

Submitted by root on 26. May 2009 - 14:34

The EGEE'09 conference will take place in Barcelona between 21-25 of September, 2009, with an expected participation of more than 600 delegates.
EGEE'09, the final conference of EGEE, will bring together researchers, businesses, collaborating projects, developers and decision makers to realise a sustainable future for European grid computing, through the European Grid Initiative (EGI).

Driven by the needs and requirements of the research community, EGI will enable the next leap forward in research infrastructures, supporting collaborative scientific endeavour across the European Research Area.

The transition to EGI will be a major theme of the conference reflected across the speakers, the exhibition and demos, and the broader conference sessions.

The EGEE'€™09 conference will take place at the Hotel Barcelo Sants in Barcelona.

SSC Workshop Orsay - 1st July 2009

Submitted by root on 22. June 2009 - 9:25

The next SSC Workshop will take place in Orsay on 1 July 2009. The preliminary agenda is available here:

http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=60563

We will continue the planning and preparation of the SSCs during this workshop. PLEASE BE SURE TO REGISTER on the web page so that we can plan the coffee breaks and lunch.

I've have updated the guidelines for the SSCs in response to the information we have concerning the call and feedback from various quarters. The SSC coordinators should prepare a description of their SSC following those guidelines (v6) and distribute it to this mailing list BEFORE the meeting.

The guidelines can be found in EDMS:

https://edms.cern.ch/document/989620/1

These are more geared towards scientific SSCs, but the support activities should also prepare a description of their work plans and state of their preparation.

Goals

There are two primary goals for this workshop:

* Understand the types of support to be provided in EGI and the desired support model.
* Understand the scope and work plans of the SSCs.

For the second point, the information in Section 3 of the SSC Guidelines documents should be collected and sent to the list a couple of days before the workshop. If possible, a preliminary list of partners in each SSC should be provided, along with a description of each partners role in the work plan and whether their activity will likely be funded or unfunded.

Participation

Participation in this meeting is open. However, the meeting will be geared toward those looking to define, to create, and to organize an SSC for EGI. If you will only be part of a user community served by an SSC, this meeting is probably not for you. All participants must register for the meeting.
Join Email List

To receive emails regarding this meeting and to participate in discussion of the SSC formation, you should join the email list egi-ssc-preparation@cern.ch. To join this list, provide the list name and your email address to loomis (at-nospam) lal.in2p3.fr. Then either log in with an existing CERN account or create an external CERN account to confirm your subscription.

Getting there

The Laboratoire de l'Accelerateur Lineaire (LAL) is located about 25 km south of the center of Paris and is easily accessible via the RER B (Metro). The LAL website contains detailed information about how to get to LAL from the Paris airports and train stations.
