An easy way to access GRID resources

Objective

Project strategic objective
The A-WARE project will develop a stable, supported, commercially exploitable, high quality technology named A-WARE able to give easy access to Grid resources. A-WARE will primarily target the Grid Foundations topic of the above-mentioned strategic objective.

Starting points
The project will be based on the EnginFrame Grid portal experience and on Unicore/GS technologies; EnginFrame is a framework developed by NICE, this tool is adopted by a wide number of important companies worldwide; EnginFrame is the base of the GENIUS portal adopted by EGEE; Unicore/GS is the outcome of several projects, and represents one of the most mature European middleware available today.

Guiding principles
The guiding principle of the project will be to exploit and leverage the maturity of the Unicore/GS software components, developing a technology able to easily widen the adoption of Grid technology via a web thin-client approach based on user-friendly interfaces, hiding the complexity of the underlying Grid middleware to occasional as well as frequent users. To facilitate the exploitation, particular care will be put on simplifying the deployment of the Grid under typical industrial scenarios, such as Intranet security, single-sign-on systems, etc. Finally, another guiding principle of the project will be both to adopt and influence standards in all key project areas.

Project brief description
The design phase will address the coupling between Unicore/GS and a generic open source portal technology; the framework will be designed addressing the full service / job-flow life-cycle (design, submission, validation, execution, monitoring, data management and virtualisation), including industry-focused AAA, SLAs, QoS and presentation issues; at the same time it will guarantee interoperability with the most important available Grid middleware.
