1. gridCake & gridCamp making the Grid easier EGI Community Forum 2012 César Suárez Ortega Ceta-Ciemat
2. ABOUT grid » Useful technology, specially for researchers. » Great tool for collaboration. » Command line interfaces as typical front-end. » CLIs are complex for non-technical users. » Complexity causes contempt. » It doesn't hide its internals.
3. The Grid has to be friendlier!
4. ABOUT GRID WEB PORTALS » Alternative to command line interfaces. » They only need a simple web browser. » They can hide Grid internals. » Two types: » Built for particular projects. » Generics. » An essential pillar in the forthcoming Grid.
5. ABOUT GLITE DEVELOPMENT TOOLS » Globus Commodity Grid Kits m The base for a lot of libraries. Generic. | Complex. » Official Java libraries of gLite m Official. | No documentation and seems to be discontinued. » jLite m Proper documentation. And it works! | No official support for new gLite/EMI versions.
6. OUR MOTIVATIONS » To create a Grid library: » Easy to use. » Well documented. » Compatible with the latest gLite version. » To create a Grid web portal: » User friendly. » Generic. » Oriented to collaboration between users.
7. An easy glite java Library
8. highlights » Support most of the basic Grid services. » Java library. » It doesn't need any User Interface. » Based on jLite. » Designed to be really simple. » Documented with Javadoc and examples.
9. Supported services VOMS » Proxy creation » Proxy delegation MyProxy » Delegation » Retrieval GridFTP » Upload » Download » Delete » List CREAM » Job sent » Job monitoring » Pause / Resume » Batch operations

15. A glite web portal for collaboration
16. highlights » Developed using gridCake and GWT. » Design focused on collaborative features. » gridCamp doesn't need a User Interface. » Suitable for all kind of projects. » Easy to use. » It shares features with social networks.
17. User management » Simple registration. » No need of Grid credentials. » Every user has a public profile. » Every user can be friend of another user. » Friends can exchange messages. » The users could form PROJECTS.
18. PROJECT MANAGEMENT » Group of users. » Every project has a public profile. » Every user could create a project. » Every project has a message board. » gridCamp could host multiple projects. » Every GRID JOB is associated to a project.
19. Job management » Jobs could have metadata associated. » Any member of a project could: » Send jobs. » Monitor any job of the project. » Get the ouput of any job of the project. » Inputs are sent via HTTP uploads. » Outputs are gotten via HTTP downloads.
