CERN

Daniel Filipe Rodrigues, openlab fellow working at CERN in the context of the EDS-CERN collaboration on Grid monitoring, delivered a well attended talk today at the EGEE’08 conference, entitled “Grid Messaging system as a core component of the monitoring infrastructure for WLCG”. The presentation was part of the session called “HEP/LCG community Meeting: World-wide Grid for HEP applications of LHC: the monitoring procedure”.

Mr. Rodrigues emphasized the novelty and attractiveness of messaging, an essentially asynchronous mechanism provided with powerful capabilities such as broadcasting, for the monitoring of the WLCG. This talk was complemented by a poster which attracted the attention of many participants.

In addition, at the beginning of the session, Mr. Pablo Saiz, in his introductory talk, referred heavily to the well-known Gridmap tool, another outcome of the EDS-CERN openlab collaboration.

openlab results in the field of Grid monitoring received therefore significant exposure at the key annual international conference on Scientific Grids.
