The Development Of Data Grids For High Energy Physics

Abstract

Data Grids have developed world-wide interest as a means of enabling geographically separated groups to collaborate and share data and computing resources. Their use is particularly important to Australians. High Energy Physics has been, and will continue to be a test-bed for these technologies. Through our involvement with the state-of-the-art experiments at BELLE and ATLAS, we plan to participate in the World-wide Data Grid research and development effort and deploy novel techniques to significantly enhance their usefulness to Australians.
