This is a list of (partly overlapping) e-Science projects the HEP group at UCL is
involved in. It is still under construction and may be incomplete.
| ATLAS |
The UK e-Science programme is funding three posts at UCL to
to develop software for the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron
Collider. Work includes development of
Atlfast,
JiveXML,
Atlantis
and RTT.
|
| CEDAR |
Combined E-science Data Analysis Resource.
With funding from the PPARC e-Science programme, physicists and software
engineers at UCL and Durham are building on the HEPDATA and JetWeb projects to develop a
unified facility for storing and accessing particle physics data and
tuning and validating theoretical models.
Related projects within CEDAR include the development of
HepML, a standardised data
format for HEPDATA records and for Monte Carlo generator
configurations, and the HepForge
development environment for high energy physics software.
|
| EGEE |
Enabling Grids for E-sciencE |
| ESLEA |
Exploitation of Switched Lightpaths for E-science Applications.
The ESLEA project is exploiting the UKLight switched circuit optical network
for applications including Particle Physics, Radio Astronomy, Computational Science
and e-Health.
The UCL HEP group is involved in using UKLight to transfer data from the CDF
experiment at Fermilab to the UK.
|
| GridPP |
GridPP is a collaboration of particle physicists and computer
scientists from the UK and CERN, who are building a computing Grid
for particle physics. GridPP is funded by PPARC as part of its
e-Science Programme. |
| NETSYS |
The inter-departmental Networked Systems Research and Development
Group (NETSYS) at UCL is recognised as a UK e-Science Centre of Excellence in
networked systems. Work carried out by members of the HEP group
includes research and development of protocols for guaranteeing
bandwidth and quality of service in the MBNG (Managed Bandwidth Next
Generation) project, and using RGMA (Relational Grid Management
Architecture) for networking monitoring.
