UK e-Science All-Hands Meeting
==============================

Grid Middleware For Engineering Design Search and Optimisation
====================

Computational Fluid Dynamics.
Challenges: Globus blah blah legacy blah.
They use matlab scripting language.

They also use Globus 2... so I don't care any more.

e-Science: The grid and MS.NET
====================
MS.NETGrid
MS.NETGrid-OGSI

Related: Globus and OGSI.NET (Virginia)

It looks like they have just done GT3 but in C#.
They do say that though (inspired by).

Training courses.
They have tested a ipdt client with a tomcat
services. This is a web services problem.

BAE Grid
====================
BAE have a bit of problems with spreading parts of their network due to secrecy with their military contracts.
Big VO problems.

They need the grid to conform to their requirements.
It does not quite.

Security needs to be accreditable and certifiable.

The White Rose Grid
====================
The White Rose University consortium: assocation of 3 universities: Leeds, York, Sheffield.

Helps the universities support larger projects than one single university could handle.

This is a working grid.

*** Portal done with Struts. ***

Providing QoS networking to high performance grid applications.
====================
Middleware: Gara.

Australia has some successes with QoS for video.

Dependable grid Services.
====================
How do you choose a service?
Function and Performance.

They use GT3 to do failure detection: service data. If it stopes being updated you can assume there's been a error.

Service rejuvenation which is rebooting every day as in windows 98!

Fault injection (FL)
====================
Testing OGSA middleware.

Network level FL is changing packets on the wire.

With GT3 there is message signing and encrypted transports. Means you can't target specific parts of a message.

They do IF at the SOAP API level.

Experiments: drop packets with server to client mesage it makes the client wait indefinitely.
