NeSC is heavily involved in the EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-Science in Europe) project which formally started on 1st April 2004, and is the lead organisation for the EGEE training activity. As such it is required to coordinate the work of 22 partner organisations from all over Europe. A good start has already been made: the successful opening conference in Cork in mid-April was an opportunity for the partners to meet face-to-face and to finalise plans. In the following week
(26th-28th April) the first EGEE induction event was held at NeSC, involving participants from eight different countries. Two further induction events are due to be held at CERN, near Geneva in mid-May, again organised by the NeSC training team. More information can be found on the website at: Professor Malcolm Atkinson, Director of NeSC, giving a talk at the recent EGEE internal induction course, April 2004.

JOSH (JOb Scheduling Hierarchically) is a multi-site job-management tool built on top of Globus Toolkit V3 and
Grid Engine. A JOSH user interface
(or client) allows the submission, monitoring and termination of jobs running on Grid Engines at remote compute sites (the servers), and also handles the transfer of data files and executables. It was developed by the Sun Data and Compute Grids project at EPCC and contributed to the Grid Engine project. For more information, please contact sungrid@epcc.ed.ac.uk
