Objectives

The goal is to test and improve interoperability mechanisms of Grid middleware, and to learn, through user experiences, deployments, and open discussions about the current status of Grid infrastructure between EU and China, Grid middleware in use on each side, and future features and interoperability mechanisms needed for the Grid. Last year, ETSI, INRIA and CoreGRID organized the 3rd GRIDs@work.

 

In EchoGrid, the plan is to set-up two EU-China Grid Plugtests knowed under the name IV and V GRIDS@Work. The first one will be located in Beijing end of October 2007, hosted by CNIC. The second one will run in fall 2008 and will have physical presence and operation from both Nice (France) and Shenzen (China).
