Grid Leadership Avery –PI of GriPhyN ($11 M ITR Project) –PI of iVDGL ($13 M ITR Project) –Co-PI of CHEPREO –Co-PI of UltraLight –President of SESAPS Ranka –PI of Data Mining & exploration Middleware for Grid and Distributed Computinhg ($1.5 M ITR Project) –Project Co-lead for Sphinx –Senior Personnel on CHEPREO –PI MRI Bourilkov –Project Lead for CAVES and CODESH Cavanaugh –Project Coordinator for UltraLight –Deputy Coordinator for GriPhyN –Project Co-Lead for Sphinx Prescott –Co-organised the Boston OSG Technical Workshop –US-CMS Production Manager Rodriguez –Deputy Coordinator for iVDGL –Deployment Board Co-chair for OSG KIM –Project Lead for GridCAT

5. GriPhyN / iVDGL Develop the technologies & tools needed to exploit a distributed cyberinfrastructure Apply and evaluate those technologies & tools in challenging scientific problems Develop the technologies & procedures to support a persistent cyberinfrastructure Create and operate a persistent cyberinfrastructure in support of diverse discipline goals

6. Sphinx Scheduling on a grid has unique requirements –Information –System Decisions based on global views providing a Quality of Service are important –Particularly in a resource limited environment Sphinx is an extensible, flexible grid middleware which –Already implements many required features for effective global scheduling –Provides an excellent “workbench” for future activities! VDT Server VDT Client ? Recommendation Engine

7. CAVES & CODESH Concentrate on the interactions between scientists collaborating over extended periods of time Seamlessly log, exchange and reproduce results and the corresponding methods, algorithms and programs Automatic and complete logging and reuse of work or analysis sessions (between checkpoints) Extend the power of users working or performing analyses in their habitual way, giving them virtual data capabilities Build functioning collaboration suites (stay close to users!) First prototypes use popular tools: Python, ROOT and CVS; e.g. all ROOT commands and CAVES commands available
