Boris Yordanov Robev

openlab Summer Student, IT-PES Group, from 09/08/10 to 04/10/10

Boris Yordanov Robev is studying at St. Kliment Ohridski University, Sofia, Bulgaria. He is currently attending the first year of his M.Sc in Computer Science. He started to take an interest in  distributed systems, cluster and grid computing few years ago and had the chance to increase his knowledge and skills during his stay at JINR last year. The CERN openlab summer student programme is a new good opportunity to work on such topics and Boris is currently working on a project related to the automation of the CERN accounting data collection for the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG). The objective is to deploy a tool providing a monitoring and notification mechanism to check the patching status of all nodes and clusters in the CERN Computer Centre. This project will help the administrators of the Computer Centre keeping multiple machines up-to-date
