10. EU-IndiaGrid (RI-031834) is funded by the European Commission under the Research Infrastructure Programme 10 Interoperability/1 The 2 nd year will be more focused on Interoperability The 1 st year was spent in: –achieving some pre-requisites: ASGC CA acting as catch-all CA until the Indian National CA is established and approved by APGridPMA Interconnecting GARUDA’s private network with the intercontinental link –carefully analysing the gLite and GARUDA middlewares –discussing among partners a number of possible interoperability scenarios –defining a stepwise strategy to achieve the goal

11. EU-IndiaGrid (RI-031834) is funded by the European Commission under the Research Infrastructure Programme 11 Interoperability/2 It was soon recognized the need of: –taking advantage from EUChinaGrid experience about interoperability with CNGrid GOS middleware –identifying solutions being compliant with consolidated/emerging standards (GLUE, JSDL, OGSA-BES, gridFTP, SRM) Corresponding actions undertaken: –EU-Asia Interoperability sessions/workshops/round tables organised at international grid events at EGEE’07 of Budapest, October 2007 at WLCG-Tier2/EU-IndiaGrid Workshop of Taipei, November 2007 at IGIIW and EU-IndiaGrid Conference of Bangalore, this week –Participation to Open Grid Forum Interoperability Panel planned from OGF22, February 2008

16. EU-IndiaGrid (RI-031834) is funded by the European Commission under the Research Infrastructure Programme 16 ENEA-Grid approach to provide access to AIX Can be applied on other contexts, being based on: 1)availability of a shared file system on the site WN and on the GRID Proxy WN 2)use of a remote execution tool for implementing the wrapper it works also with NFS or GPFS it works also with rsh or ssh Invasiveness of the grid middleware and firewall requirements are minimized !

22. EU-IndiaGrid (RI-031834) is funded by the European Commission under the Research Infrastructure Programme 22 The main focus of EU-IndiaGrid Project in its 2 nd year will be the interoperability between gLite and GARUDA Several discussions held, several approaches figured out during the 1 st year, and a stepwise strategy has been proposed The Project is actively organizing panel sessions, round tables, discussions about interoperability with other Projects interested in this matter (EGEE’07 in Budapest, WLCG-WS in Taiwan, eScience 2007 in Bangalore) A contact with OGF was started late September 2007, the participation at Interoperability Panel at upcoming Open Grid Forum events is planned EU-IndiaGrid is ending in September 2008 A proposal is ready for EU-IndiaGrid2, describing a more detailed way on standards adoption/collaboration for job and data management interoperability Conclusions
