Roberto Barbera Università di Catania and INFN Catania - Italy ALICE Collaboration and DataGrid Project The Grid: networked data processing centres and ”middleware” software as the “glue” of resources. Researchers perform their activities regardless geographical location, interact with colleagues, share and access data Scientific instruments and experiments provide huge amount of data The Grid vision

Università di Catania and INFN Catania - Italy ALICE Collaboration and DataGrid Project EDG m/w has been released but… EDG software (Globus, UI, JDL, WP2, WP3, etc.) contains tens of commands/switches which also have their own logical sequences. Browsing Grid VO “directories” (users, RC’s, DB’s, etc.) requires LDAP “speaking” and tomorrow could require SQL “speaking”. “User gridification” is a tough task for a “rookie”  this does not fit with the claim that “grids” are for everybody and that grid computing will be as easy as surfing the Internet ? Furthermore, all this holds for DataGrid. What will happen when other grids’ software (especially UI’s) will come up (PPDG, iVDGL, etc.) ? Will users have to learn tens of “grid dialects” ? Today “grid computing” is a rather complicated experience for un- experienced user only possible at selected machines (UI’s)  this does not fit with the claim that one could do “grid computing” even from a PDA ? Is there any way to set-up a “user-friendly” grid ? Portals & Portlets 2003, Edinburgh, 14.07.2003

Roberto Barbera A web portal: why and how ? It can be accessed from everywhere and by “everything” (desktop, laptop, PDA, WAP phone). It can keep the same user interface to several back-ends (grid “dialects”  command-line UI’s). 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.

Roberto Barbera Present status Current implementation of GENIUS includes more than 100 services. Among them: secure web transactions, user authentication and authorization; grid authentication with MyProxy ! remote interaction with the user’s and “grid” file system; interfaces for job submission/control, data management, VO servers, and monitoring systems; several Resource Brokers and VO’s available; persistent (user level) book-keeping and spooler system; secure interactive analysis with TightVNC full support for “parallel” multi-jobs (“sequential” ones easy to implement) web guided job description (in collaboration with DATAMAT) P2P services added with ChatEverywhere CVS available ! New and very easy installation procedure Several installations of GENIUS in Italy and worldwide (Czech Rep., France, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Taiwan, etc.) GENIUS is the official Portal of the GriDis Project for dissemination (http://web.datagrid.cnr.it/GriDis/jsp/index.jsp). Almost 80 people trained during May-Junehttp://web.datagrid.cnr.it/GriDis/jsp/index.jsp Roberto Barbera Università di Catania and INFN Catania - Italy ALICE Collaboration and DataGrid Project

Roberto Barbera Università di Catania and INFN Catania - Italy ALICE Collaboration and DataGrid Project Future devel. and activities GENIUS is one of the grid portals officially included in the GGF Grid Portal Manifesto and the GENIUS Team is involved into the GGF GCE-RG working group. PDA version available soon. New style sheets already defined Possibility to create “skins” for different “look&feel”’s (in collaboration with CNR) Interface to EDG 2.0: work will start next week and continue during July-August Full integration with GriDis’ “grid on demand” Integration of new specific VO services. Graphic creation of new services Integration of VOMS/VOX and DGAS tools for AAA Close look at the technology of portlets as containers of grid services (see how to match them with GENIUS services) Integration of graphic job workflow creators. Discussions ongoing between Catania, Datamat, FhG and CNR (first meeting in Rome on July, 29)

Roberto Barbera Università di Catania and INFN Catania - Italy ALICE Collaboration and DataGrid Project FAQ’s…and answers (1) Q: I want to use GENIUS. Do I have to pay for it ? free A: No. GENIUS is “open source” and the underlying portal framework EnginFrame is free for the education and research communities. Q: I want to use GENIUS. Do I need any software running on my laptop ? A: No client software needs to be installed apart from the web browser. GENIUS can really be accessed from everywhere. Q: Do I have to be afraid about cached password sent over the web ? A: Access passwords are securely “streamed” only when needed and then destroyed. Only temporary sessions are possible. Q: Can new authentication methods implemented into GENIUS ? A: Of course. Kerberos V is a good example. EnginFrame is already compliant with Kerberos authentication.

Roberto Barbera Università di Catania and INFN Catania - Italy ALICE Collaboration and DataGrid Project FAQ’s…and answers (2) Q: I want to add a new VO to GENIUS and customize new services for that VO. How can I do that ? A: A new VO can be added to GENIUS in just minutes. New VO specific services can be added just modifying only two files: an XML file and a shell script. Q: Can I use GENIUS to interface other m/w’s ? A: Yes. Although GENIUS is currently based on the DataGrid middleware(w/ and w/o GLUE extensions), it can be very easily interfaced to others. A direct interface to the Globus Toolkit already exists and another one to Condor is in progress. Q: How can I start downloading/using GENIUS ? A: Go to the reference site https://genius.ct.infn.it, click on “GENIUS CVS available” and follow the instructions.https://genius.ct.infn.it Portals & Portlets 2003, Edinburgh, 14.07.2003

Roberto Barbera Università di Catania and INFN Catania - Italy ALICE Collaboration and DataGrid Project Summary and conclusions GENIUS, notwithstanding its “youth”, 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 “problem solving environment” GENIUS is not only intended for a scientist day-by-day use. It has expressly been included in the EU EGEE Proposal as a dissemination and tutoring tool for non expert users (in the last 2 months, during the Catania and Rome EDG Tutorials, almost 80 people have been trained to use it) All GENIUS services (also those not shown here) can be “seen” at the URL: http://alipc1.ct.infn.it/grid/genius/ gallery
