Grid added value for medical imaging

• Distributed data remote data storage and
  processing
• Distributed processing Pipelines processing
• Parallel computing Modeling and simulation

Earth Observations

• ESA missions
• about 100 Gbytes of data per day (ERS 1/2)
• 500 Gbytes, for the next ENVISAT mission (2001).

• DataGrid contribute to EO
• enhance the ability to access high level
  products
• allow reprocessing of large historical archives
• improve Earth science complex applications (data
  fusion, data mining, modelling )

Earth Observation challenges

• Generalisation of Earth Science application
  infrastructure to become GRID-aware
• consider near real-time constraints
• Extend GRID access to European Environmental and
  Earth Science applications
• to large science communities
• to value adding and commercial communities
• Demonstrate collaborative environment for Earth
  Science

Dissemination tasks in brief

• Provide and maintain the basic e-tools for
  dissemination and management (web, mail..)
• Co-ordinate the by country dissemination
  activities (brief seminars)
• Foster the Industrial Deployment (IR Forum)
• Support the Open Source adoption by researcher
  and individuals

InterProjects Collaboration

• DataGrid is
• represented and coordinated with the GGF
• in contact with the Globus development team
• in contact with the Griphyn project
• coordinated with EUROGRID and Damien
• in contact with the PPDG Particle Physics Data
  Grid
• Open to new collaborations, especially with
  industries

Industry and Research Forum

• It is the main point of contact between Industry
  and Grid Research
• Lead by INFN, managed by Italian CNR
• Involve as many european and worldwide industries
  than possible
• Yearly conferences foreseen (first one in spring
  2001)
• Industry advantages in IR Forum participation
• Being in the mainstream of a promising technology
  since its development phase
• Being able to achieve expertise before
  competitors
• Being able to provide requirements and influence
  the design of this new computing model
• Being able to timely develop grid-enabled
  products
