Content TCD’s past experience with portals Plans for WS-Pgrade and SCI-BUS – Integration with HELIO to build a portal for the Heliophysics community – Use WS-Pgrade as the standard user interface to Grid-Ireland’s computational and storage facility.

TCD and portals Migrating Desktop ( ) – CrossGrid and Grid-Ireland sites Ganga and Diane (2008-now) – Used to test jobs for the Costas’ arrays. Genius (2004) – Used with EDG middleware P-Grade – Deployment with Quattor profiles – GENE-VO applications developed in P-Grade

HELIO HELIO - Introduction HELIO is designed to help the scientist in: finding, retrieving and analyzing data regarding the sun, its related phenomena and their effects on: the Earth, and, the other planets of the Solar System.

HELIO Technological Challenge Data and Metadata from the various instruments are: Dispersed Non completely standardized There is a complex feedback between data and metadata. Codes and Computational facilities are: Dispersed Non completely standardized Different User’s Profiles

Different users Users that possess a Grid Certificate Users that do not possess a Grid Certificate BUT are willing to login to the HELIO portal Users that do not possess a Grid Certificate AND are NOT willing to login to the HELIO portal Security Prefer to use IDL code Prefer to use HELIO Portal Prefer to write workflows HELIO Access Layer + HELIO API + Community Interaction Service HELIO Access Layer + HELIO API + Community Interaction Service

How to merge HELIO and SCI-BUS ? ?

Interesting areas User access: – Port the Helio Front End into WS-Pgrade ? – How to give access to IDL-Oriented users ? Resources access: – How to merge the storage and processing services into SCI-BUS ? – How to merge the HELIO security model into SCI- BUS ? General architecture issues: – How to merge the HELIO API ? – How to merge the other HELIO services ?

WS-PGrade as Grid Ireland User Interface Move Grid Ireland users to WS-Pgrade. – How to support the users that still wand a text- based approach ?
