Scientific Challenges

Scientific challenges concentrate effort of some partners on well defined issues, such as a particular experiment on Grid’5000. Scientific challenges are expected to be bound in time. However, a scientific challenge may contain several sub-challenges, typically representing various steps toward the ultimate challenges.

• Network

• System
  • Energy Profiling of Large Scale Applications -- Laurent Lefèvre (AVALON), Jean-Marc Pierson (IRIT), Jean-Marc Menaud (ASCOLA)
  • Robustness of Large Systems in Presence of High Churn -- Pierre Sens (REGAL), Jean-Marc Vincent (MESCAL)
  • Large Scale Management of Virtual Machines -- Adrien Lèbre (ASCOLA)
  • Orchestrating Experiments on the gLite Production Grid Middleware -- Lucas Nussbaum (ALGORILLE), Frédéric Suter (CC IN2P3).
• Programming Paradigm
