ELECTRONIC SERVICES
E-services are interactive
Requests via web interface to back-office systems
Main parameter is QoS
Critical: back-office systems peak performance
Minimal delay of reply time
Broadband connectivity
The solution: cluster, grid, cloud computing

GRID COMPUTING
Grid computing is a technology to build virtual supercomputers by utilizing/sharing unused resources on connected PC’s.
Network itself is a virtual supercomputer
This technology has achieved maturity recently and brought a new opportunity for developing countries to build their national computing powers.

GRIDS FOR PUBLIC SERVICES
• The national computing power can be built based on emerging computing technology paradigm: the Grid computing.
• There will be many PC’s at the public access points and many servers of Public Internet Nodes. These computers are to be connected by Internet and the expected utilization rate is not high.

GRIDS FOR PUBLIC SERVICES
• Therefore, these PC’s will provide a huge opportunity to build virtual supercomputers. These supercomputers can help to improve the content provision on the PIN itself, but can also help other
o social, o economic, o technical and scientific areas’ development.
• Once the powerful supercomputers can provide software services online, it can also provide cheap PC’s for the people in low income rural areas. This will help to bridge the digital divide.

APPLICATIONS AREA
The project is focusing on forming regional research teams that are engaged in elaboration large scale applications of common regional interest:
Seismology VOMeteorology VOEnvironmental VO
The work programme envisages analysis of the mentioned VOs requirements, their gridification and run-time support of the target applications. These three strategic Virtual Organisations will bring together users across the region within a common research space, enabling them to share data, applications, tools and results of their work.

Meteorology VO
Meteorology VO involves researchers from Greece, Serbia, Moldova, Montenegro, Croatia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The partnership is coordinated by the National Observatory of Athens (NOA).There are two sets of applications :
Regional scale Multi-model, Multi-analysis ensemble forecasting system. Study of the interaction of airflow with complex terrain.
The results produced within the meteorology VO will allow the meteorological entities participating in the project to assess the probability of a particular weather event to occur and to provide this information to the authorities, the general public, etc, in order to help them to make the necessary decisions based on this probabilistic information. Special focus will be given at the SEE-wide scale where detailed forecasts are necessary for the protection of life and property.

Environmental VO
Environmental VO bring together scientists and research institutions, working in the domains of Environmental modelling, Geomagnetism, Environmental security, Environment evolution supervision and impact of climate-related events in the SEE region. Environmental VO covers the following main applications set:
Modelling System for Emergency Response to the Release of Harmful Substances in the Atmosphere (MSERRHSA)
Monte Carlo Sensitivity Analysis for Environmental Systems (MCSAES) Multi-scale Atmospheric Composition Modelling (MSACM) Regional Modelling of the Geomagnetism Environment oriented Satellite Data Processing (ESIP) - GreenView
RENAM, FRT TUM and State Hydrometeorological Service of Moldova supports pilot application for the ESIP/GreenView development, platform testing and deployment.

French vinters are turning to outer space to outwit foreign rivals, with new satellite technology giving an overview of vineyards' physical characteristics and potential.
The satellite images in the near-infrared produced by French wine consultancy body ICV and geo-information provider Infoterra, give growers information on water stress and grape composition amongst others, allowing better management of the vinification.
