Description
Identifying, implementing and operating efficient and scalable data management and processing structures is one of the biggest problems one has to face when using a distributed computing infrastructure. These structures require robust software services with flexible integration and customisation facilities for both system administrators and end users.
The middleware software stacks hosted on the European Grid Infrastructure provide several services for the management og data and metadata. The largest user groups of the European Grid Infrastructure have long-running experience of using these services and extending, integrating, customising them for community-specific use cases.
This workshop provides a forum for EGI data service developers and operators, as well as for existing and emerging users of these service to exchange experiences, requirements and best practices concerning data management and processing. The workshop is coordinated by the User Community Support Team (UCST) of EGI.eu, the team that is responsible for the gathering and analysis of user requirements in EGI. By bringing the main stakeholders of data-related services together, UCST aims to facilitate information exchange and capture new requirements that can be fed into the next generation of software services of EGI.
The aim of the workshop is to capture reusable best practices and solutions togehter with data-related requirements that are not yet addressed by any community or technology provider.
