High energy & nuclear physics

Condition: knowledge of the state of the grid: CPU load, network load…

Design of a grid service that processes high level information requests (i.e., requests that express (and are specific to) the user’s needs))

Just a new toy for scientists or a revolution?

• Just a new toy for scientists or a revolution?

• Huge investments

• Classical issues but a functional, operational and applicative context very complex

• Complexity from heterogeneity, wide distribution, security, dynamicity

• Functional shift from computing to information

• Data management in grids: not prehistory, but still middle-ages

• Still much work to do!!!

• A global framework for grid computing, pervasive computing and Web services?

Just a new toy for scientists or a revolution? Neither of them!
