DEGREE ChallengesDEGREE Challenges

• Diversity of Grid middleware and toolsDiversity of Grid middleware and tools Problems of porting applications Need standardization

• Evaluating technologies that are under developmentEvaluating technologies that are under development Need tight cooperation with developers to follow the evolution Developers can benefit from the feedbacks

• Still gaps between scientific users and grid technologiesStill gaps between scientific users and grid technologies Use portal technologies to hide Grid complexity Improve Grid awareness of ES community

• Complex requirements from applicationsComplex requirements from applications Different requirements of different applications Applications may use non-standardized protocols/tools Need to find common denominator of application

requirements and existing tools functionality
