Interactive and Real-Time Applications on the EGEE Grid Infrastructure
2010
EGEE is currently the flagship European
gridproject having established the largest
gridinfrastructure worldwide. This infrastructure is routinely used on a daily basis by more than 13,000 users coming from a large number of scientific disciplines, including but not limited to high energy physics, fusion
physics,
computational chemistry, life sciences,
earth sciences, astronomy, and astrophysics. Many of these
grid-enabled applications require real-time interactions with the end users. This chapter presents the capabilities offered within EGEE for supporting interactive applications. More specifically, we will see that interactivity requires support from multiple layers of a
gridarchitecture starting from the
grid
middlewareitself, the
gridsite configuration, and the network infrastructure. Moreover, user- and VO-level solutions have been proposed to overcome limitations posed from the lower
middlewarelayers. Lastly, we present a number of real-life applications exploiting interactivity on the EGEE
grid.
