Watch the EGEE videos!
Through a set of short interviews, members of the EGEE projects help you discover the key aspects of the project, namely “collaboration”, "reliability", "awareness" and "science". Enjoy both the short clip (2 minutes) and the long and more detailed version (15 minutes).

David Anderson has been director of the SETI@home project since 1997, and also runs the BOINC project, which develops software for public distributed computing. He is a research scientist at the Space Sciences Lab of U.C. Berkeley.

SETI@home is a research project that uses Internet-connected computers to analyze radio-telescope data in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). Since its public launch in May 1999, over 5,000,000 people have participated, contributing 1.7 million years of computer time and making SETI@home the largest computation every performed. Although there are significant technical differences, SETI@home is often used as an analogy for what grid technology aims to do.

Fabrizio Gagliardi was the leader of the DataGrid project.

Fabrizio was an active proponent of the Global Grid Forum of which he was cofounder.

On the basis of the successful results of the EU DataGrid project and of the other related EU Grid projects which he contributed to launch (DataTAG, CrossGrid, Grace, GRIDSTART) in 2003, he led a major international effort to propose to the EU the EGEE project , of which he was director.

Wolfgang Von Rueden is the leader of the IT Division at CERN.

CERN is leading several of the major Grid development project in the world, to prepare for it's next big machine, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). When the accelerator will start up in 2008, thousands of physicists from around the world will want to acces and analyse the huge amount of data produced (about 10 Petabytes a year).

Ian Foster is a pioneer of grid computing and a founder (along with Carl Kesselman) of the Globus project.

He co-edited (with Kesselman) "The Grid: Blueprint for a New Computing Infrastructure", published in 1999 and considered the "bible" of grid computing.

Ian Foster is a Senior Scientist and Associate Division Director in the Mathematics and Computer Science Division at Argonne National Laboratory, and Professor of Computer Science at the University of Chicago.
