OMII-Europe: Using open standards to deliver interoperability
(90 mins)

OMII-Europe is an EU-funded, multinational project with sixteen partners from across Europe, China and America. Our objective is to deliver grid interoperability through the use of open standards so that e-scientists have seamless access to a wider range of resources across heterogeneous grid infrastructures. To this end, OGF standards play a vital role in our software development. We have identified five key grid components and are re-engineering them using standards so that they work across gLite, Globus and UNICORE. OMII-Europe is now at a stage where these components are close to being deployed and demonstrated.
In our presentation, we plan to give a brief overview of each of these components: what the component can do, the standard in use, its architecture and the stage at which it is in now. This will also give the audience a deeper understanding of how the OGF standards can be used and why they are essential in our work. OMII-Europe is ideal for making this presentation since we are continuously working with these emerging standards and many of the project members are also in the individual OGF groups.
Moreover, we intend to explore a real use case in which our software is not only beneficial, but necessary. We will show how the combined use of our components helps users overcome grid infrastructure boundaries to perform tasks that accelerate and ease their work.
