This event gives an overview of the goals and activities of OMII-Europe project.

The OMII-Europe vision is to harvest open-source, WebServices-based, grid software from across Europe and to supply these key grid services in a form that will allow them to interoperate across heterogeneous infrastructures, in particular EGEE, UNICORE and Globus.

The emphasis is on the re-engineering of software components rather than on the development of new technology. OMII-Europe will develop a repository of quality-assured Grid services running on these existing major Grid infrastructures.

The proposed work involves a set of 16 established partners from Europe, the USA and China.

The OMII-Europe project is funded by the EU within the framework of the Sixth Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP6), as part of the specific programme 'Structuring the European Research Area', within the 'Research infrastructures' activity. Call name: 'Communication Network Development - eInfrastructure - Grid Initiatives'. Call identifier: FP6-2005-Infrastructures-7.

Target audience

Anyone active in or interested in grid computing. Access Grid participation is invited, also.
