WorldGRID is an intercontinental testbed spanning Europe and the US integrating architecturally different Grid implementations based on the Globus toolkit. The WorldGRID testbed has been successfully demonstrated during the WorldGRID demos at SuperComputing 2002 (Baltimore) and IST2002 (Copenhagen) where real HEP application jobs were transparently submitted from US and Europe using native mechanisms and run where resources were available, independently of their location. To monitor the behavior and performance of such testbed and spot problems as soon as they arise, DataTAG has developed the EDT-Monitor tool based on the Nagios package that allows for Virtual Organization centric views of the Grid through dynamic geographical maps. The tool has been used to spot several problems during the WorldGRID operations, such as malfunctioning Resource Brokers or Information Servers, sites not correctly configured, job dispatching problems, etc. In this paper we give an overview of the package, its features and scalability solutions and we report on the experience acquired and the benefit that a GRID operation center would gain from such a tool.
We outline design and lines of development of autonomous tools for the computing Grid management, monitoring and optimization. The management is proposed to be based on the notion of utility. Grid optimization is considered to be application-oriented
We describe R-GMA (Relational Grid Monitoring Architecture) which has been developed within the European DataGrid Project as a Grid Information and Monitoring System. Is is based on the GMA from GGF, which is a simple Consumer-Producer model. The spe
Selecting optimal resources for submitting jobs on a computational Grid or accessing data from a data grid is one of the most important tasks of any Grid middleware. Most modern Grid software today satisfies this responsibility and gives a best-effor
The GPCALMA (Grid Platform for Computer Assisted Library for MAmmography) collaboration involves several departments of physics, INFN sections, and italian hospitals. The aim of this collaboration is developing a tool that can help radiologists in ea
Grid based systems require a database access mechanism that can provide seamless homogeneous access to the requested data through a virtual data access system, i.e. a system which can take care of tracking the data that is stored in geographically di
