Description

The EUAsiaGrid project aims to promote the expansion of European Grid Infrastructures to countries in the Asia-Pacific region. The project’s main goal will be to pave the way towards an Asian e-Science Grid Infrastructure, in synergy with the other European Grid initiatives in Asia, namely EGEE-III via its Asia Federation, and both the EUChinaGRID and EU-IndiaGRID projects and their eventual follow-on efforts.

Taking advantage of the existing global Grid technologies, with the specific emphasis on the European experience with the gLite middleware and applications running on top of it, the project plans to encourage federating approaches across scientific disciplines and communities. EUAsiaGrid will act as a support action, aiming to define and implement a policy to promote the gLite middleware developed within the EU EGEE project across Asian countries. EUAsiaGrid's main actions will be to dissemination informaiton, provide training, support scientific applications and monitor the results.


Withing EUAsiaGrid, NCeSS leads work package 2 on requirements capture and coordination policy definition and contributes to work package 3 on support for scientific applications, focusing in particular on the development of e-Social Science applications.
