Common use of Generic Applications Clause in Contracts

Generic Applications. Although High Energy Physics and Biomedical Applications, discussed above, are the two most important “customers” of the EGEE infrastructure, and their feed-back is essential for the re-engineering and fine tuning of the middle-ware services, the success of the Project strongly relies on the use of the continental infrastructure also by other different applications, belonging both to science and industry realms, which we address here as generic applications. On this purpose, we will also seek to cooperate with existing Framework 5 funded projects to deploy their applications on the EGEE infrastructure. For example, the CrossGrid project has deployed and extended the EU DataGrid software for interactive compute and data intensive applications such as simulation and visualisation for surgical procedures, flooding crisis, team decision support systems, and air pollution combined with weather forecasting. These application areas and user communities are obvious candidates for extending the scope of applications that will be early exploiters of the EGEE Grid infrastructure. We will then undertake the following specific activities: • organization of dissemination and tutoring events to spread the grid paradigm and attract people from science and industry. These activities are under the responsibility of the NA2/NA3 teams, with which a close liaison will be established; • selection of applications to be ported onto the EGEE infrastructure, in a gradual and orderly manner; • support the development community to migrate their generic applications to the EGEE infrastructure using high level user interfaces such as grid portals; • evaluation of grid impact on generic application performances.
