Integration of Portlets Make a Biosciences Portal Easy to use of bioscience applications, easy to submit jobs to grid environment Access through web browsers Dont need to install some applications with GridSphere Consists of … Single Sing-on functions Access to bio-applications Grid portlets (managing grid environment) Meta-Scheduler

GridSphere Part of GridLab projects funded by EU 100% JSR168 compliant Open source & free to use Gridportlets- the most important offering of GridSphere project for Grid users Login, logout File upload & download (GridFTP based) Globus 2.4 based job submission Job monitoring Credential management (GSI based & MyProxy complaint) Profile personalization and Layout customization Administration portlets for creation of users, groups, portlet management and portal layout customization Persistence (using Hibernate)

Grid Portlets Build upon the core features in the GridSphere portal framework Provide developers with a framework for developing Grid portals Offer developers a collection of "portlet services" for performing tasks on the Grid Also provide a collection of simple, easy-to-use, well integrated portlets that showcase the functionality offered in Grid Portlets These portlets include the core functionality every Grid portal should contain and can be used on their own or in conjunction with custom Grid-enabled web applications

Single Sing-on based GAMA Grid Account Management Architecture (GAMA) GAMA is complete GSI credential management and integration solution tailored for use in emerging CyberInfrastructure through web portals or web service- based clients Make grid security as easy to use as any comercial web site while maintaining the security and delegation capabilities of GSI

Two components of GAMA GAMA Server runs on secure, locked-down machine with no user accounts to increase security, provides all services for user credential management through secure web services, API support for creating new users, listing users and user authentication, GAMA Portlets provides all administration and management functions for user and administrator, provides facilities for users to request accounts and for administrators to automate account approval process, supports GridSphere portal framework with no changes to the core framework, allows multiple portals to connect to the same backend GAMA server.

Meta-Scheduler CSF4 Community Scheduler Framework first GT4-WSRF compliant Meta-Scheduler CSF can communicate with other different Grid environment Different Hardware, OS, Infrastructure, Local Scheduler, Resource Manager… CSF4 is a group of grid services host in GT4 Job submission, control, monitoring Queue Service for jobs CSF4 GT2 LSF GT4 PBS GT4 SGE …

Sightseeing I could see the Koalas at the Zoo (LonePine). Also I enjoyed Koala Hug. In the Zoo, there were also Kangaroos. We can touch them freely. I went to Fraser Island. It was very beautiful sand Island.
