1 st EGEE Project Conference, A grid portal: why and how It can be accessed from everywhere and by “everything” (desktop, laptop, PDA, cell phone). It can keep the same user interface to several back-ends. It must be redundantly “secure” at all levels: 1) secure for web transactions, 2) secure for user credentials, 3) secure for user authentication, 4) secure at VO level. All available grid services must be incorporated in a logic way, just “one mouse click away”. Its layout must be easily understandable and user friendly.

1 st EGEE Project Conference, GENIUS present status Current implementation of GENIUS includes more than 100 services. Among them:  grid authentication with MyProxy !  several Resource Brokers, VO’s and RLS available;  full support for “interactive” and “parallel” multi-jobs  web guided job description, submission and monitoring (in collaboration with DATAMAT)  Web guided workflow description (in collaboration with GridLab)  P2P services available  PDA and cell phone versions available  Transparently compliant with EDG2.1, LCG2 and Grid.it middlewares/VO’s  Interfaced to many generic applications and to the ALICE, BaBar, and CMS grid environments

1 st EGEE Project Conference, Conclusions and outlook for GENIUS GENIUS is “well on track” and seems to have a recognized present and a promising future It tries to merge the concepts of “user portal” and “science portal” and can easily evolve into a graphic “problem solving environment” It is the most advanced suite “on the market” for transparent access to several grid middlewares GENIUS is not only intended for a scientist day-by-day use. It has expressly been included in the EU EGEE Proposal and Technical Annex as a dissemination and tutoring tool for non expert users (in the last months, during the Catania, Rome and Edinburgh Tutorials, almost 100 people have been trained to use it) and as the grid portal for generic applications

1 st EGEE Project Conference, Conclusions and outlook for GILDA GILDA is a complete suite of grid elements (test-bed, CA, VO, monitoring system, web portal) and applications fully dedicated to dissemination purposes. GILDA runs and will run the last production (stable) version of the grid middleware (currently Grid.it based on LCG 2.0.0). GILDA is the dissemination tool which will be used by NA3 during induction courses and tutorials (first in Edinburgh next week!). Next future (2-3 weeks):  adding new sites: NeSC, InterQuanta (private company in Spain), any other interested;  finalize and advertise the “24x7” public “grid demonstrator”: a customized version of the full GENIUS web portal from where all users belonging to the GILDA VO can submit a pre-defined set of applications to the GILDA Testbed;  publish all the documentation on the GILDA web site.

1 st EGEE Project Conference, Final conclusions and outlook NA4 Generic Applications is a key activity in the process of getting new scientific and industrial communities interested and committed to use the continental grid infrastructure built by the EGEE Project. GENIUS is a well established tool which will be fundamental in the process of interfacing new applications with the EGEE middleware hiding its complex internals to non-experts users from new communities. GILDA is a complete suite of grid elements (test-bed, CA, VO, monitoring system, web portal) and applications fully dedicated to dissemination purposes. This could also represent the ideal grid testbed where to start the porting of new generic applications. GILDA is the dissemination tool which will be used by NA3 during courses and tutorials (first in Edinburgh next week!) so the important aspect of induction of the grid paradigm to new communities is also covered. It is now important to have the first meeting of the EGAAP board and define the first Generic Applications to be interfaced. It is also important to establish from the first days a good collaborative team-spirit among all people committed to NA4 Generic Applications, independently of their physical locations.
