technologies for shared community of users. (HTP resources, ultimately LHC). ExTENCI/TeraGrid administration--Jha, Song, Katz, Roskies.

• Cross-pollination through attendance at administrative meetings (Paul Avery/Chander Sehgal)

– DEISA—Distributed European Infrastructure for Supercomputing Applications• TeraGrid HPC Summer School, Acireale Italy, October 4-7, 2010
