Welcome to the *old* DOSAR
Home Page!
This is the home page of our Distributed Organization for Scientific
and Academic
Research in institutions in the Southern part of the U.S. and the South
American Institutional Analysis Centers (IAC's) of D0
and other future high energy experiments auch as ATLAS and CMS, as well as for educational use
of
grid computing technology.
We have bi-weekly meetings
at 10:30 am - 12:30 pm (US Central Time),
Tuesdays on "D0 A-Weeks".
The home pages of IAC's
and
their contact person information are as follows:
- DOSAR had many
workshops:
- University of
Texas at Arlington in April, 2003. At this first workshop,
we have agreed on a few action
items.
- University of Oklahoma
on Sept. 26 and 27, 2003, following
the OSCER Symposium.
- Louisiana
Tech University on Apr. 7 and 9, 2004. At this workshop,
the D0SARGrid has been enabled for D0 MC production.
- Kansas
State University on Sept. 16 and 17, 2004. At this workshop,
we focused on enabling grid-based data analysis.
- The
University of Mississippi on March 31 and April 1, 2005. At
this workshop, we focused on the future of the organization beyond the
D0 experiment and joining the the Open Science Grid (OSG) effort.
- The
University of Sao Paulo, Sep 16-17, 2005.
At this workshop, we focused on the LHC and the interoperability
between OSG and LCG and other Grids.
- The
University Texas at Arlington, March 30-31, 2006, where we
concentrated on data production and physics analysis, particularly
distributed production and analysis.
- University of
Oklahoma on Sept. 21 and 22, 2006, which was dedicated to the
continuation of the integration of DOSAR with the OSG.
- Iowa State
University on April 5 and 6, 2007, which focused on Campus
grids and State wide grid efforts.
- Louisiana
Tech University on Sept. 27 and 28, 2007, which was focused on
implementing Co-Linux based Campus Grid system.
- The University
of Mississippi on April 17 and 18, 2008, which focused on
Grid Operations and Innovations in Computing.
- Louisiana State
University on April 2 and 3, 2009, which focused on
regional Cyberinfrastructure development efforts.
- The University of
Sao Paulo, Brazil, on September 23-26, 2009, which was dedicated to
activities beyond High Energy Physics.
- The University of
Johannesburg, South Africa, on April 6-8, 2010, which focussed on
Tier3, Storage, and new computing approaches.
- In June of 2005,
DOSAR
became a Virtual Organization (VO) in OSG.
- We created our own
DOSAR
VOMS Server (requires valid Grid certificate in your browser).
See here for
more info
on VOMS.
- We established the
DOSAR mailing list (dosar@fnal.gov)
for both communication among members as well as as a contact point for
the DOSAR VO Support Center.
Send email to Jae Yu or Horst Severini
if you would like to join the list.
The list archives can be browsed, both the current DOSAR list as
well as the old D0-SAR
list.
- We have started
using
the "Roundup" issue tracker to keep track of our technical
issues. The server for the
DOSAR issue tracker is located at the Langston University
IAC.
- We are in the
process
of putting together a document server based on the Fermi Product DocDB.
Some useful monitoring and
information links:
