to set-up system that can be used in an (quasi) ad-hoc manner, as our system<br />
is designed to operate. Fur<strong>the</strong>r, <strong>the</strong>re does not seem to be a fully equipped<br />
framework that provides all layers such as middleware, workflow system, Grid<br />
monitor and web portal. All <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se layers have been incorporated in <strong>the</strong><br />
system introduced in this <strong>the</strong>sis.<br />

Project Category Description<br />
@neurIST Application<br />
ACGT Application<br />
Grid plat<strong>for</strong>m <strong>for</strong> management, integration and<br />
processing <strong>of</strong> data associated with cerebral<br />
aneurysm and subarachnoid haemorrage.<br />
Grid plat<strong>for</strong>m to support exchanges <strong>of</strong> clinic and<br />
genetic in<strong>for</strong>mation with a particular focus on<br />
breast cancer data.<br />
BioinfoGRID Middleware This project aims to connect European computer<br />
centers to <strong>of</strong>fer computational services especially in<br />
BIOPATTERN Application<br />
<strong>the</strong> area <strong>of</strong> Bioin<strong>for</strong>matics.<br />
Within this project <strong>the</strong> members want to create a<br />
pan-European plat<strong>for</strong>m enabling sharing and analysis<br />
people’s biopr<strong>of</strong>iles. This should allow to combat<br />
major diseases such as cancer and brain diseases.<br />
Condor Middleware Condor is a specialized workload management system<br />
<strong>for</strong> compute-intensive jobs. Similar to o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
batch systems, Condor provides a job queueing,<br />
several scheduling policies and priority schemas, resource<br />
monitoring and management. The Condor-<br />
G extension is fully interoperable with resources<br />

managed by <strong>the</strong> Globus system.<br />
This was one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> first projects (and predecessor<br />
to <strong>the</strong> EGEE project) that aimed to enable intensive<br />
computation and analysis <strong>of</strong> shared large-scale<br />
databases across widely distributed scientific com-<br />
munities.<br />
This consortium develops generic and sectorindependent<br />
data-mining tools and services <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
grid.<br />
The German national Grid initiative wants to establish<br />
a sustainable Grid infrastructure <strong>for</strong> e-<br />
Science in Germany by (a) streng<strong>the</strong>ning existing<br />
Grid user communities and (b) integrating<br />
and extending existing but dispersed middleware<br />
testbeds.<br />
The DutchGrid is <strong>the</strong> plat<strong>for</strong>m <strong>for</strong> Grid Computing<br />
and Technology in <strong>the</strong> Ne<strong>the</strong>rlands.
