“The Particle Physics Data Grid Collaboratory Pilot will develop, evaluate and deliver vitally needed Grid-enabled tools for data-intensive collaboration in particle and nuclear physics. Novel mechanisms and policies will be vertically integrated with Grid Middleware, experiment specific applications and computing resources to provide effective end-to-end capability.”
