The APEL and GOCDB systems experienced unscheduled intermittent downtime
between 21:30 UTC on Monday, 22nd July and 07:50 UTC on Tuesday, 23rd July.
This caused a break in connectivity to the APEL & GOCDB services. Some APEL
clients will have been affected by this and will see a delay of approximately
one day in the processing of their records but sites running the APEL client
do not need to take any action.
Network connectivity has now been restored.
Apologies for the inconvenience caused.

This is while network maintenance is carried out at RAL, this work will cause
a break in network connectivity to the APEL system.
Sites running the APEL client do not need to take any action; however, their
logs will show the daily update has failed during this downtime. Once the
APEL system is back in production, publishing will resume.

Scaling up life sciences with grids and clouds - stories and recommendations
(https://indico.egi.eu/indico/abstractDisplay.py?abstractId=58&confId=1417)
EGI Technical Forum 2013 (http://tf2013.egi.eu/)
September 16-20, 2013, Madrid, Spain
Important Dates and Deadlines:
------------------------------------------
- Electronic submission of abstracts: July 22th, 2013
- Notification of abstract acceptance/rejection: July 26th, 2013
- Workshop date: September 18th, 2013
Scope:
--------
Grid and cloud computing are now a fundamental element in all analyses and
experiments in Life Sciences. In this two-part workshop, a number of research
case studies will focus on the practical applications that are underpinning
their success and show how these are relevant for other areas of research
within Life Sciences. A final discussion phase will aim to provide clear
proposals for future EGI effort. Additionally, hands on
demonstrations/training for accessing grid resources either selected from the
case studies or from within the scope well known Life Sciences VOs will be
provided to researchers, scientists and even software developers.
The current shift in research paradigm in Life Sciences has left many
scientists struggling to keep up with techniques and technologies driven from
notionally different domains, such as Physics or High Performance Computing.
It is critical that there is as much exposure to these concepts and to
address any shortcoming in the current state-of-the-art as soon as possible.
Towards this end, the workshop’s goal is to collect and integrate the
advances of Life Sciences’ community within a Grid context, and showcase
the current achievements in order for the community and the peripherally
involved scientists to have a clear groundwork on which to build the next
generation tools and platforms.
The workshop has 2 goals:
-- Technical aspect of current approaches in Life Sciences in a grid context
-- Scientific background that merits the evolution of tools and techniques.
For the first part, focus is on showcasing novel techniques, methodologies
and frameworks that address fundamental research issues in Life Sciences.
Examples include specialized grid-enabled applications for ecosystems,
clinical data inter-connectivity frameworks through SE or proof-of-concept
methodologies for systems biology approaches. Through a series of flash
presentations, this part will aim to cast a wider net within the Life Science
communities’ approaches in a Grid/Cloud context. This session will aim to
pinpoint the advantages and drawbacks of the presented works, in order to
identify the crucial areas for future effort.
Part 2 aims to present a solid overview of the current status of Life
Sciences within a Grid environment. This will be the workshop; the tasks
presented will represent the overall experience of an end-user, i.e.
scientist or researcher, assessing and accessing the potential of a Grid
infrastructure towards hers/his own work. Examples may include scientific
gateways or portals, successful case studies and proof-of-principle
approaches.
A final round-table brainstorming session will try to identify future aims
and objectives in order to enhance and reinforce the interaction between Grid
Computing and Life Sciences
Topics of interest
------------------------
We encourage submissions on, but not limited to:
- Life Science tools for Large Scale analysis
- Portals for Life Sciences access to Grid resources
- Life Sciences Use Cases on a Grid infrastructure
- Cloud applications in Life Sciences
Application Instructions:
-------------------------------
It is possible to participate in this session in two ways:
a) Presentation only. The submission should include:
- Name and affiliation of the speaker
- Title of presentation
- One paragraph long abstract describing the presentation (can include
references and/or figures).
This submission should ideally provide answers to the following questions:
1. What is the goal of the presented work?
2. How can/did a Grid/Cloud infrastructure improve the approach?
3. What are the main drawbacks in the current approach?
b) Presentation and demo.
Same as above, but with the inclusion of an additional paragraph describing
the demo and its impact/interest to the Life Science community.
Submissions should be in English and can be submitted in PDF format and
should be sent through email to the following addresses: fpsom(a)certh.gr /
aduarte(a)itqb.unl.pt
