FP 6− 2004−Infrastructures− 6 -SSA-026024 Applications 4 WP 4 was not expected to work while WP 2 was acting but we need anyway to prepare the roadmap for the next months. 4 In particular, we need to: • authorize the EGEE VO’s of the applications we need/want to deploy on all Eu. Med. Grid sites; • deploy the EGEE applications; • deploy the Eu. Med. Grid-specific applications already identified; • define the process to get new applications “on board”.

Grid Middleware and IPv 6 4 Mini-Workshop held on 13 June 2006 at IHEP (Beijing). 4 EGEE MW is not at all IPv 6 compliant due to both internal and external code. 4 Dedicated workshop in the next EGEE conference in Geneva (25 -29 September ’ 06) 4 CNGrid MW is not yet IPv 6 compliant but code modification and external packages update is under work to reach complete compatibility. 4 A Web Portal will contain: 4 A list of the mw components and external packages that are declared to be IPv 6 compliant. 4 A short manual on how to produce IPv 6 compliant software 4 A simple code checker that will allow to discover non-compliant parts of code in a source file.

EGEE and CNGRID interoperability 4 g. Lite and GOS are based on a completely different architecture. 4 A gateway will be developed in Beihang University to allow the job submission service as a first trial. 4 Interoperation is in preliminary study phase.

ARGO – YBJ Laboratory • Unique High Altitude Cosmic Ray Laboratory (4300 m) Tibet, 90 km North to Lhasa. Chinese-Italian collaboration. • The Experiment data rate to be transferred is 250 TB/Year requiring a steady transfer rate of the order of 100 Mbps to Beijing and from there to Italy.

Never Born Proteins 4 The number of natural proteins on Earth, although apparently large, is only a tiny fraction of the possible ones: • with 20 different co-monomers (the 20 different natural amino- acids), a polypeptide chain with 60 residues (n=60) can exist in 2060 different chain structures. • In nature, we have around 1013 -14 different proteins, so that the ratio between the possible and the actual number is staggeringly large. 4 This means that there is an astronomically large number of proteins that have never been seen on Earth - an incredibly large number of “never born proteins” (NBP). 4 The present research in the field is based on a computational approach to study a large library of NBP (109 protein sequences) to the aim of clarifying the structural principles that characterize them and of selecting a reasonable number of sequences which can potentially give rise to stably folded proteins.

Richieste 2007 • EUChina. GRID ed EUMEDGRID hanno un forte coinvolgimento estero e necessitano di una quantità di Missioni Est. abbastanza rilevante. • Continuerà l’attività di tutoraggio (soprattutto nei primi sei mesi); cercheremo di effettuare un certo numero di training in Italia. • L’attività critica sarà quella del supporto alle applicazioni. • Per EUMED sarà critico lo sviluppo di iniziative Grid Nazionali. • Per EUChina sono fondamentali le attività di compatibilità IPv 6 e di interoperabilità g. Lite-GOS.
