the EUChinaGRID work packages

Here is the list of the EUChinaGRID work packages and their related activities:

  • WP1 - Project administrative and technical management
    The objectives of this WP are to correctly and efficiently manage the administrative and technical aspects of the Project and to liaise with related project and initiatives. The main activities carried out in this WP are:
    • A1.1: Administrative management
    • A1.2: Technical management
    • A1.3: Liaisons with related projects
  • WP2 - Network planning and interoperability study
    "" go to the IPV6 web site
    The objectives of this WP are to carry out studies on the available and foreseen network connectivity, promoting new high bandwidth links between Europe and China or Asia in general and to study the available Grid Middleware for an IPv6 network and the interaction between Grid Services and IPv4-IPv6 communication, giving a feedback and eventually proposing code modifications to the middleware editors (EGEE, Globus, etc.). The main activities carried out in this WP are:
    • A2.1: Network connectivity plan
    • A2.2: Analysis of multi-protocols Grid connectivity
  • WP3 - Pilot Infrastructure operational support
    "" go to the grid operation web site
    The objectives of this WP are to carry out studies on CNGrid and EGEE interoperability, to define a common policy for authorization and security, to carry out studies on how to deploy advanced services and to carry out activities aimed to promote interconnections with other Asian grids, pre-existing or induced. The main activities carried out in this WP are:
    • A3.1: CNGrid and EGEE interoperability
    • A3.2: Certification authority setup & operations
    • A3.3: Operational support on advanced services
    • A3.4: Promote new Asian Grid Infrastructures
  • WP4 - Applications
    The objectives of this WP are to validate the Intercontinental Infrastructure using EGEE applications and to support the porting of new applications relevant for the eScience and Industrial collaboration between Europe and China. The main activities carried out in this WP are:
    • A4.1: EGEE Applications
    • A4.2: Astroparticle Physics applications
    • A4.3: Biology applications
  • WP5 - Dissemination
    The objectives of this WP are to enlarge awareness of grid computing and promote the development of National grid initiatives collaborating with European grid efforts and to use dissemination activities to further train users and technical personnel needed to manage the pilot infrastructure. The main activities carried out in this WP are:

HIGHLIGHTS

The EUChinaGRID project officially ended on 31 March 2008, after 27 months of activity and a number of goals achieved.

However, the project consortium is planning further collaboration activities for the next few months.
