Project strategic vision

  A world-wide Distributed Computing Infrastructure can

address big scientific challenges that are not manageable with departmental computing systems

  Virtual Research Communities can transparently access

different kind of resources: scientific applications and tools, Data Repositories, down to CPUs and Disks. The vision is that of VRCs sharing resources ubiquitously across different administrative domains

  Regional e-Infrastructures should be made interoperable

among each other. CHAIN is committed to promote and validate a proof-of-concept that addresses this

Conclusions

  The CHAIN project aims to provide a comprehensive vision

on the evolution of Regional e-Infrastructures

  The CHAIN Knowledge Base and Application DataBase

already provide information on available services

  CHAIN project has successfully agreed with other regional

projects on the SG approach. The GISELA SG offers both

general purpose and specific applications in a standard-based and middleware-independent environment
