International EUIndia Grid2 Material Science, Climate Change & Interoperability Workshop
16 December 2010
December 13-16, 2010
Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, India
Hosted by IIT Dheli, and jointly organized by the EU—IndiaGRID2 project this workshop introduces the EU-IndiaGrid computing environment and will address to the user community in the field of Material Science and Climate Change research.
The workshop presents a computational GRID infrastructure completed with scientific tools that would enable researchers from both the scientific area involved to easily carry out simulations using various models either as a stand-alone or in combination. A specific session will be dedicated on the Interoperability between EU-IndiaGRID infrastructure and GARUDA grid infrastructure. Specific attention and training will also take place for Indian users of RegCM4 and coupled atmosphere-ocean simulations model.
Main Objectives
- Promote Grid Technology and EU-IndiaGRID2 infrastructure among the Indian material science and climate change community
- Build Grid computing capacity using pilot applications in material science and climate change
- Create/ Enhance Virtual organizations in material science and climate change research e by deploying Grid technology between the Indian subcontinent and Europe.
Who should attend ?
- Researchers and industry professionals who are using, developing or/or facilitating in the usage of e-infrastructure in the area of material science and climate change.
- Climate research RegCM4 users interested in working with the latest release of the package and enable its usage on grid infrastructure.
- Participants from India and other Asian countries are encouraged to apply.
EUIndiaGrid2 is playing an important role in enhancing and increasing Euro-India cooperation on e-Infrastructures through collaboration with key policy players both from the Government of India and the European Commission. EUIndiaGrid2 also works closely with policy initiatives such as e-IRGSP2 and Euro-India SPIRIT
Global networks are the glue that holds together Scientific Research Communities around the world. Networks such as GÉANT (The Pan-European Education and Research Network), TEIN3 (The Trans-Eurasia Information Network) and the NKN (National Knowledge Network of India) are all key to this process.
Two main grids exist in India – the Regional component of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG ) and GARUDA, the India National Grid Initiative. Both initiatives strongly rely on the development of national and international connectivity. In this respect fundamental steps have been taken and impressive targets have been achieved.
