2. High Energy Physics: LHC ALICE - heavy ion collisions, to create quark-gluon plasmas - 50,000 particles in each collision LHCb - to study the differences between matter and antimatter - producing over 100 million b and b- bar mesons each year ATLAS - general purpose: origin of mass, supersymmetry, micro-black holes - 2,000 scientists from 34 countries CMS - general prupose detector - muon tracking, electromagnetic calorimeter, central tracking and hadron calorimeter ~6-8 PetaBytes / year ~10 8 events/year ~10 3 batch and interactive users

3. The EGEE Consortium Total of 70 full partners covering entire EU and beyond Total budget: ~32 M

10. Modern fire safety engineering for the future built environment Integrated Emergency Response Model for the 21st Century

11. Example: Mont Blanc Tunnel Fire Fire detected 1st Decision 1st Response TIME (min) 0 10 Traffic stopped 15 Fans turned on in wrong direction! French Fire Br. 20 Intervention made difficult by poor initial response EventsConsequences Italian Fire Br. 25 Enhancement of smoke and fire 39 dead! Emergency assessment too slow! Lack of co-ordination b/w 2 sides too many vehicles enter tunnel

12. Mont Blanc Tunnel Fire & FireGrid Fire detected 0+ Sensors channel info to C&C Emergency Response Mode Better emergency assessment Sensor driven simulations initialised 1st Decision ~1 Traffic stopped Early forecasts Select pre-designed scenario matches TIME (min) Events Consequences x- Pre-emergency response planning Case-based training Many scenarios generated Co-ordination Preparedness Use in Design Mode application Lives saved! 20 Fire Brigades Emergency magnitude minimised Effective intervention C&C tasks emergency responders Escalation: Alert Experts, Commandeer resources Better emergency planning

13. e-Science Application Binary Data File BinX – accessing legacy binary data The Problem: Many binary data files Applications must know the data format Binary data formats are machine-specific BinX Library The Solution: Write a stand-aside format description in XML Provide a library to Interpret the description Provide file access across different machines Build higher-level services BinX file describes binary file structure simulations
