The participation of the IFIC (as Contractor), UV and ITI (as IFIC's Subcontractors) in the CROSSGRID project can be divided in the following sections:

 
 

In Work Package 1 (WP1)

Task 1.3 - Distributed Data Analysis in HEP - (IFIC; E. Ros, J. Salt, ...)

Our group will be involved in the development of final user applications for physics analysis in High Energy Physics running in a distributed mode in a GRID  environment using large distributed databases. There are two points in wich we want to contribute: the development of distributed data-mining techniques suited to the HEP field and the definition of a layered structure, flexible enough to adapt to different experimental set-ups.

Task 1.4 - Weather forecast and air pollution modelling - (UV; R. Crespo)

Department of Theoretical Chemistry of UV (University of Valencia) will be a subcontractor of CSIC (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas). The objectives of this taks to be coverd by the ICMol group will be to provide a representative collection of sample applications of GRID tools which will be developed by the atmospheric/oceanographic community.


 

In Work Package 3 (WP3)

Task 3.2 - Grid resource management - (ITI; J. Bernabeu, A. Ferré)

The main objective of this task is to develop a GRID resource management system based on self-adaptive scheduling agents for scheduling a particular parallel application submitted to a GRID, with the goal of achieving a reasonable trade-off between resource usage efficiency and application speedup, in accordance with users's optimisation preferences. ITI (Instituto de Tecnologías Informáticas) people will be involved in this taks in a close relation with the UAB (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) group. The contractual status will of this person will be the 'In-house-consultant'.

Task 3.5 -Test and Integration - (IFIC; Task leader S. González)

The main goals of the tests and integration are to deliver a release version of WP3 before each prototype. Such a release will be a base for further development in other workpackages, especially for the WP1 and WP2. Task 3.5 is very strongly correlated with the prototypes released in WP4. A feedback from other workpackages (WP1, WP2, WP4 and the diseemination WP5) is highly appreciated and will be taken into account before releasing each prototype version.


 

In Work Package 4 (WP4)

Task 4.1 - Testbed Set-up and incremental evolution - (IFIC; S. González, J. Sánchez, ......)

The aim of this task is to obtain an infraestructure as flexible as possible that will provide testbeds for other WP's to develop and test their work. The coordination with DATAGRID will be very important and the CSIC groups (IFCA and IFIC) will define common strategies to optimize this service.

Task 4.3 - Infraestructure support - (IFIC; Task leader J. Salt)

The idea is to provide testbed sites with easy and flexible fabric management tools and network support for the development of local grid infraestructures and its interconnection. From the point of view of our laboratory, this activity give us the oportunity to export our 'know-how' obtained in the deployment of our PC farm.
