    • NA4/JRA1 Session

      The main goals of a common session JRA1/NA4 should be:

      1. Expose the JRA1 community to the users needs.
        The "users" should explain their plans (for example, ARDA end-to-end prototypes, Biomed pilot users plans, etc...) making explicit the key technical points.
      2. Expose the NA4 community to the plans and constrains from JRA1.
        In order to give sensible input, NA4 should be aware of the technical issues (service design and development, performance vs functionality, integration and testing mechanisms) in JRA1. In particular the priorities should be balanced with the technical constrains within JRA1.
      3. Discuss (resolve) the main issues discovered so far.
        The usage of the middelware infrastructure requires additional software from the users to be developed (modified, integrated). In many cases there is no clear boundary between a truly generic middleware and specific solutions. The workshop should clarify (in a pragmatic way) the boundaries to avoid duplication, to foster sharing technical solutions, to encourage the convergence on common tools whenever possible.

    • NA4/SA1 Session

      This session will be discussions based and will address areas of particular
      interest to the applications and operations community. Two major issues are

      a) Getting non-HEP VOs set up on LCG - the status and procedures

      b) Bringing new non-HEP resources onto LCG (e.g. from Biomedicine
      and 'other' application areas). We will discuss procedures, and the status
      of negotiation for identifying new resources.

        CLOSE OF SESSION
    • NA4/JRA4/SA2 Session

      The first goal of this session is for applications to get a better understanding of the networking activities in EGEE. The second goal is to discuss application requirements on networks in terms of networking monitoring and bandwidth allocation. Two use cases, one for HEP and one for biomed, will be used to drive the discussion.

      • 37
        JRA4/SA2 issues relevant to NA4
        The talk will introduce the activities of JRA4 and SA2 which are relevant to the applications

      • 38
        Detailed NA4 use cases (HEP, BioMed)
        The two talks, one for biomed, one for HEP will present use cases to be further discussed with SA2 and JRA4 to drive expression of requirements.

    • Final Discussion

      The goal of this final session is to make sure all issues are addressed and give anyone the opportunity to ask questions.
      Feedback on this meeting is also welcome especially from "generic" application and NA4 newcomers
