CC-IN2P3

Description

Presentations by projects on their applications of the iRODS data grid. We would like to encourage presentations on client APIs that have been integrated with iRODS, rule sets that have been implemented, micro-services that have been developed.

14. ARCS Data Fabric

Mlle Pauline Mak

02/02/2009 10:30

The Australian Research Collaboration Service (ARCS) has implemented the Data Fabric using SRB. We are able to use Shibboleth authentication with the use of Short Lived Certificate Service (SLCS) to create GSI credentials. The SRB server is also modified such that we have automatic account creation for users from trusted Identity Providers (IdP). We have also built usage scripts that will...

16. ASPiS: integrating iRODS with Shibboleth and provenance engines

M. Eric Liao

02/02/2009 11:00

Natively, iRODS addresses authentication by means of locally managed user lists or X509 certificates. The ASPiS project is integrating iRODS with Shibboleth, to enable authentication to be devolved onto the user’s home institution, and to suppport attribute/role-based authorisation decisions within the iRODS context. The project is also integrating iRODS with external provenance engines (PASOA...

18. Using iRODS with the EnginFrame grid portal into the GRIDA3 project

M. Francesco Locunto, M. Marco Piras

02/02/2009 11:30

GRIDA 3 (Shared Resources Manager for Environmental Data Analysis and Applications) is an interdisciplinary project funded by the Italian Research Ministry. Primarily designed for providing a holistic description of environmental problems, the project will result in an advanced problem-solving tool for the integration, through a computing portal, of human know-how, simulation software,...

17. SRB usage in BioEmergences

M. Dominique De Waleffe

02/02/2009 12:00

BioEmergences is an EC funded project where biologists, mathematicians, engineers and computer scientists define, implement and systematize the production of symbolic and precise reconstruction of cells evolution starting from in vivo captures of microscope images of embryos. The computational means for the project are provided by the different partners own computing facilities for initial...

19. Using Data Grids for Long Term Digital Preservation

Dr Adil Hasan

02/02/2009 14:00

In this talk we describe an FP7 integrated project focussed on long-term digital preservation called SHAMAN. We focus on the issues concerned with using data grids in long-term preservation.

20. The Storage Abstraction Service of the SPAR project

M. Thomas Ledoux

02/02/2009 14:30

The National Library of France (BnF) is building its distributed archiving and preservation system (SPAR) in order to preserve in the long term all the digital information collected or created. This system is based on the OAIS standard but, in order to be independant of the underlying hardware infrastructure, a Storage Abstraction Service (SAS) is used. The SAS exposes its capabilities by the...

21. The Adonis research data preservation project for digital humanities in France

M. Thomas Kachelhoffer

02/02/2009 15:00

The aim of this project is to give to the french researchers on Humanities Sciences, a distributed data working space. On top of this, the project will be able to provide long term data preservation, to handle digital objects concepts, to provide data treatment facilities and some basic workflow mechanism. This activity is also connected to some European project as DARIAH. It will be currently...

22. iRODS as future data grid backend for TextGrid ?

M. Wolfgang Pempe

02/02/2009 15:30

TextGrid, which is part of the D-Grid initiative (http://www.d-grid.de), is the first project in the humanities in Germany creating a community grid for the collaborative editing, annotation, analysis, and publication of specialist text resources. The architecture of TextGrid enhances a Globus-based grid infrastructure with a specific middleware layer and an open, WebService-based service...

24. Collaborative data life-cycle management for petascale astronomy projects

M. Arun Jagatheesan

02/02/2009 16:30

In this brief talk, we look at the needs for Collaborative Data Life-cycle Management (CDLM), the advantages of CDLM and the concepts in iRODS that enable a large-scale CDLM infrastructure. We will highlight two astronomy projects as our usecase, namely LSST and ALMA. Both of these projects will have to manage several petabytes of data for several years from multiple independent agencies (or...

23. Enabling a robust VOSpace based on iRODS

M. André Schaaff

02/02/2009 17:00

VOSpace is the International Virtual Observatory Alliance interface to distributed storage. It is the visible side of the storage system. To make a VOSpace usable in the real life we need an efficient storage mechanism. After a few experiences we have focused on iRODS which is a new data grid software system developed by the SDSC Storage Resource Broker team and collaborators. Our first aim...

35. SRB service at STFC and the road to iRODS

M. Kevin O'Neill, M. Roger Downing

02/02/2009 17:30

STFC (Science and Technology Facilities Council, UK) is a long-time user of SRB in varied projects for internal and external customers alike. In this talk we describe how SRB has been used to meet the requirements of our main customers, and how the challenges associated with running a production service in this environment have been addressed. We also outline our plans for evaluation and...
