abstract: OMII-UK will be formed in January 2006 when the OGSA-DAI team at Edinburgh and the myGrid team at Manchester join the current OMII operations at Southampton. This partnership aims to be ‘a leading provider of reliable interoperable and open-source Grid middleware components services and tools to support advanced Grid enabled solutions in academia and industry.’

This workshop will introduce the OMII-UK partnership, its activities and current product offerings from the myGrid & OGSA-DAI projects and the managed programme.  

synopsis: Goals:
To inform the global Grid community as to OMII-UK’s current activities, and our longer-term goals to provide an easy to use, reliable e-Infrastructure that can be used to build e-Science solutions to support data-intensive computing and file-compute grids, especially to support the life sciences community. OMII-UK’s activities span from the software engineering and testing of our distribution, through to the development and integration of new software components and tools, which are fully supported and documented.
