The Labs have to be involved
Labs like DESY or Fermilab will be part of several Grids/VO:
- LHC experiment CMS: “Tier-1” regional center for U.S. CMS, to be integrated with LHC computing grid at CERN and other Tier-1 and Tier-2 centers
- Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS): tight integration with other U.S. sites
- RunII experiments D0, CDF: large computing facilities in UK, Nikhef etc (connectivity soon to be based on up to 2.5Gbps links!)
Examples for development, integration and deployment tasks:
- interface to Grid authentication/authorization to lab-specific (e.g. Kerberos) authentication
- interface of Data Serving Grid services (e.g. GridFTP) to Lab-specific Mass Storage Systems
- Diagnostics, monitoring, trouble shooting
