EGEE as an Example of a Global Production Grid
Session leader: Erwin Laure

Speaker: Erwin Laure
As result of the significant research effort put into Grid
computing, large scale international as well as regional production
Grid infrastructures offer their users access to distributed
computing and data resources at an unprecedented level. The
EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-Science) project integrates current
national, regional and thematic Grid efforts, in order to create
a seamless Grid infrastructure for the support of scientific
research. The infrastructure, which is one of the largest of
its kind world-wide, supports distributed research communities,
which share common Grid computing needs and are prepared to
integrate their own computing infrastructures and agree on common
access policies. In this talk we will discuss issues and techniques
for creating and operating such a large scale Grid infrastructure,
give examples of the current usage, and discuss the long term
potential of Grid technologies.
