EGEE-II INFSO-RI Enabling Grids for E-sciencE GStat Work Plans for EGEE-III Joanna Huang, ASGC/OPS EGEE SA1 F2F Meetings, Abingdon 1-5 December, 2008

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-II INFSO-RI Core Concepts Monitor EGEE compatible information systems Primary goals for GStat: –Detect faults in the information system –Validates the information content –Displays useful information with different views Build a sustainable architecture –Enabling decentralized operations –In a federated environment Redesign GStat in modular way –Reusable components –Multi-location (site/roc)‏ –Multi-application (certification/operations)‏
