Grid Interoperability Centre

The Grid Interoperability Project is proposed as a reinforcement of the activity of EGEE-II and will allow the partners to take part in the integration and certification of grid middleware. Partners are expected to contribute hardware for a local test-bed as well as suitable grid resources remotely.

The project will focus on the following activities:

• Testing and certification: This activity will encompass tests of the EGEE-II stacks on test-beds provided by the partners.

• Support, analysis, debugging and problem resolution: This activity will depend on the problems encountered on the contributed test-bed.

• Interoperability: This activity will review current levels of interoperability, also with middleware stacks proposed by the partners, with an aim to strengthen them and improve standardization of interoperable grid middleware in general.
