The definition and improvement of the CrossGrid
architecture, which deployed on the final Grid framework, is of great
importance. It has started with the definition of the application
requirements and a selection of the necessary Grid middleware in the
programming environment and the testbeds, and finally will validate it in
the testbed environment. The quality assurance criteria and procedures
have been defined, and a critical review of the technical progress of the
Project will be periodically done and reported. The project architecture
should ensure the overall coherence across the different WPs, identify
parallel efforts, provide technical guidance, and contact with the
adequate committees, external consultants, for assessment of
technical issues. The detailed comparison with the DataGrid architecture
is also being discussed. The evolution of this architecture, taking into
account the development of any new standards, is an obvious requirement.
An Architecture Task Leader (ATL) has been appointed at Cyfronet Cracow and he
has set-up an Architecture Team (AT), which consists of local experts and
representatives of the CrossGrid Work Packages.
