Invited Presentations (Brito, Kranzlmueller)
(50 mins)
Invited Presentation 1 - Dr. Carlos Henrique de Brito Cruz, FAPSEP
Title: Cyberinfrastructure and intensive computing applications in Brazil
This talk will describe some of the initiatives for developing the cyberinfrastructure in Brazil and for fostering research on computing intensive topics. Examples to be discussed include climate modeling, high-energy physics data processing in collaboration with the LHC experiment, computational fluidodynamics and biodiversity.
Carlos Henrique de Brito Cruz graduated in Electrical Engineering from Instituto Tecnológico da Aeronáutica (ITA) in 1978, received a MSc degree in Physics in 1980 and a DSc degree in Physics in 1983, both from the Physics Institute “Gleb Wataghin� at the State University at Campinas (Unicamp). During 1981 Dr. Brito Cruz was a researcher at the Quantum Optics Laboratory, at the University of Rome. In 1982 Dr. Brito Cruz was appointed a professor at the Physics Institute at Unicamp. During 1986 and 1987 Dr. Brito Cruz worked as a resident visitor at AT&T Bell Laboratories in Holmdel, NJ. In 1990 he was a visitor for three months at Bell Labs, Murray Hill, NJ.
From 1991 to 1994, and from 1998 to 2002, he was the Director of the Physics Institute at Unicamp. From 1994 to 1998 he was the Dean of Research at the State University at Campinas (Unicamp). From 1996 till 2002 he has served as the President of the Foundation for the Support of Research in the State of São Paulo, Fapesp. From April 2002 to April 2005 he was President of The State University of Campinas, Unicamp. Since April, 2005 Prof. Brito Cruz is the Scientific Director of Fapesp.
Invited Presentation 2 - Dr. Dieter Kranzlmueller, EGI-DS
Title: European Grid Initiative - Towards a Sustainable Grid Infrastructure
The European Grid Initiative (EGI) intends to establish a permanent, sustainable grid infrastructure in Europe. Through the EGI Design Study, the requirements of the research community are collected and distilled into the functionality of the future pan-European grid. This future model will consist of the National Grid Initiatives (NGIs) and a new entity, the so-called EGI organization, which acts as the glue between the NGIs. Of major importance for this EGI model is the role of grid middleware, and especially the aspects of interoperability between multiple, possibly different national grids. This talk provides a short overview of EGI and the current status of the design study, with specific focus on the relation to standardization activities as carried out by the Open Grid Forum (OGF).
