Towards a truly global Grid: All you need are standards

OMII-Europe is an EU-funded project which has been established to source key software components that can interoperate across several heterogeneous Grid middleware platforms. OMII-Europe endorses both the use of open standards and open source. OMII-Europe has chosen particular open standards for the Grid that it believes are essential to interoperability across global resources.

The emphasis is on the re-engineering of software components rather than on the development of new technology. OMII-Europe will develop a repository of quality-assured Grid services running on these existing major Grid infrastructures. The OMII-Europe goals are interoperability, quality-assurance and to establish itself as an impartial broker, giving advice on heterogeneous Grid solutions.

The work involves a set of 16 established partners from Europe, the USA and China. See the list of publications (on the downloads page) for information about OMII-Europe and technical documents produced by the project participants. For additional information, please contact us.

OMII Europe is funded by the European Union.
