Abstract: The long-term and sustainable usage of a Grid infrastructure for e-Science is a huge and cost-intensive challenge, just like the installation of such an infrastructure. Legal requirements like legal frameworks and their consideration by technical implementations, privacy, adequate business models an...
Abstract: The Windows Server Compute Cluster Edition is a great platform for research and education. The combination of Windows HPC and sophisticated products such as Wolfram gridMathematica unleashes the power of the platform. We present a programmatic approach, how Microsoft wants to foster research and edu...
Abstract: With the emergence of grids scientists get access to more computing resources. Therefore they can compute much more complex problems which consist of many steps like complex system setups, different simulations and analysis. To organize the computation of the complex problems the need for a comforta...
Abstract: The organization and management of the user support in a global e-science computing infrastructure such as EGEE is one of the challenges of the grid. Given the widely distributed nature of the organisation, and the spread of expertise for installing, configuring, managing and troubleshooting the gri...
