Desktop Grids in a Clouded World

In today's world of clouds, we tend to forget, that there is a successfull category of distributed infrastructure that is wideley used in science and industry. These are desktop grids. Both the largest Grids for science and in industry are Desktop Grids. This presentation provides an overview of Desktop Grids and their place in the infrastructure world.

Integrating  Desktop Grids and integration with Service Grids such as EGEE
 An overview of the results of the EDGeS project about integrating different infarstructures, especially from the view of EGEE users.

Using the existing EDGeS BOINC-EGEE bridge. Presentation about installing a new bridge.


How to connect an XtremWeb  Desktop Grid to EGEE
Using the existing EDGeS XtremWeb-EGEE bridge. Presentation about installing a new bridge.


Managing an EGEE Virtual Organisation (VO) with EDGES bridged Desktop Resources
Adding DGES bridged Desktop resources to a Virtual Organisation. Managing applications for that infrastructure.

Porting applications to the Grid using the EDGeS Application Development Methodology  
This part introduces the EDGeS Application Development Methodology. So far about 20 applications from fields of bio-science, chemistry, physics, engineering, e-market, etc. have been ported to EDGeS. Case studies of tools that make the application development easier and examples for applications that have been ported to EDGeS using the EADM are presented.
