This afternoon, the Conference opens with a key theme supported by the EUChinaGRID Project, Interoperability. Yongjian Wang, Beihang University, evaluates the challenging and multi-faceted issues related to interoperability, such as job management, data management, workflow and security. The mission of EUChinaGRID is to implement interoperability between CHGrid GOS and EGEE gLite. This talk presents the gatway-based solution proposed by EUChinaGRID aimed at implementing batch level job interoperability and providing a prototype to test it.

 

The presentation by Jianxin LI, also from Beihang University, revolves around the security architecture for CROWN (China Research & Development Environment over wide-area Network). The talk discusses the planned extensible framework enabling distributed access control & dynamic trust establishment between service providers and consumers in a Grid environment. CROWN Grid research into policy negotiation & virtual organisation security management is also discussed.

Dr Gang Chen, IHEP, offers insight into LCG, a Grid project aiming to provide HEP computing infrastructure for LHC (Large Hadron Collider) experiments at CERN (Switzerland). Dr Chen will give an overview of the architecture and design of the LHC Computing Grid, reporting on experiences in deplying LCG in China.

The afternoon concludes with the Live Demo & Poster Session featuring six demos showcasing state-of-the-art Grid technologies. The  Demos are presented by:
