3. SEE-GRID-2 PSC05 Meeting - Thessaloniki, Greece, 11-12 September 20073 WP3 objectives & activities (1) Develop the next-generation SEE-GRID infrastructure  Next generation of EGEE middleware (gLite), the VOMS, the WMS, information services and file catalogue services will be assessed having in mind project and WP3 objectives  SEE-GRID infrastructure deployment regarding the middleware services will follow and adapt its services according to the results of the assessment. Support in deployment and operations of the Resource Centres  Next generation monitoring services will be deployed so as to support the over-the-board infrastructure monitoring.  The current SEE-GRID helpdesk will be expanded in SEE-GRID-2, with the main goal of full EGEE interoperability.  Support the expansion and deal with the overall upgrade of the current infrastructure by proliferation of RCs in each SEE country increasing:  the total available regional resources (CPUs, storage, etc.) thus boosting the capacity and reliability of the provision of Grid services at regional level, and  the diversity and distribution of participating teams per country thus strengthening cooperation and collaboration at national level.

4. SEE-GRID-2 PSC05 Meeting - Thessaloniki, Greece, 11-12 September 20074 WP3 objectives & activities (2) Network resource provision and assurance  WP3 will also deal with network resource provision, in close cooperation with the SEEREN2 project, thus ensuring stable connectivity for the RCs in the region.  Attention will be paid to Bandwidth-on-Demand requirements, to cater for bandwidth-intensive applications in case they need dedicated resources for particular experiments. CA and RA guidelines and deployment  Regional SEE-GRID catch-all Certification Authority (CA) will continue to operate providing certificates for countries without a CA.  Experienced CA team will provide support for per-country CA deployment and accreditation.

Atanassov His analysis of our RB rb001 shows that  The overall success rate of the analyzed data is somewhere near 70%  The percentage of the successful jobs greatly depends on the users experience. Jobs by more experienced users have success rate above 80%. Interactive diagram helps in identifying the bottlenecks in the process model. It can show throughput time between any 2 transitions Color coding to specify low, middle and high waiting time Conclusions:  Job re-submission does not help in 99% of cases  20% of the 470 jobs submitted by one user had waiting times above 57 hours, and all of them failed.
