The Grid: networked data processing centres and ”middleware” software as the “glue” of resources.
Researchers perform their activities regardless geographical location, interact with colleagues, share and access data
Scientific instruments and experiments provide huge amount of data

Flexible control and sharing of distributed resources
Towards a new generation of e-Infrastructures
Developer view: abstraction, effective service creation
Infrastructure-provider view: Integration, pervasive virtual organisations, streamlining and longer-term protection of investment
End-user view: “unlimited” access to ICT-resources distributed world-wide, simplification

• WISDOM (Wide In-Silico Docking Of Malaria) is a Deployment of a High-Throughput Virtual Screening Platform in the Perspective of In-Silico Drug Discovery for Neglected Diseases.
• The In-Silico Docking is Faster and Much Cheaper than the Experimental Docking, Which is Restricted to the Most Successful Ligands Obtained After the Simulation Process.
• The Initial Objective of WISDOM is the Proposition of New Inhibitors for a Family of Proteins Produced by a Protozoa Parasite (Plasmodium Falciparum ) that Causes Malaria.
• However is Being Applied to Other Diseases, such as H5N1 (Avian Flu).

• BLAST in Grid (BiG) is a Grid-enabled BLAST Interface.• BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) is a
Bioinformatics Procedure Applied to Identify Compatible Protein and Nucleotide Sequences in Protein and DNA Databases.
• BLAST can be Applied, Among Other Uses, to Annotate the Estimated
Function of Unknown
Sequences.• BLAST is Computationally

EELA Applications: CAM
• Create a system of stationary analysis and prediction for the rain and the cycle of water (El Niño-La Niña phenomena)
• Plus humidity, basins of main rivers and their tributaries, lakes, etc
• Project also shared with other national and international institutions (France, UK) and projects
• Lots of data concerning monthly rainings from several institutions collected and corrected with their respective errors from 1990
• From 1992, these data are daily collected (rain, temperature, wind) from 128 weather stations
• Krigging Bayesian methods for the different regions for the prediction of basins, caudals and lakes capacities
• Dynamic prediction useful to be compared with traditional approaches
• Studies will be made for different phenomena with different timescale (day to century) in order to understand them locally and their influence in the studied processes
• Hope to understand slow or quick variations in the national climate (specially for high-risk situations)

EELA Applications: volcano eruption forecasting
• Currently no definitive method to predict the eruption of a volcano has been discovered or implemented (yet).
• Scientists monitor – seismic waves– number of earthquakes and the intensity of a specific type of quake
(harmonic tremors) in the run up to eruptions. – changes in the shape of the volcano or concentrations of gases emitted
from the cone. • By correlating spectra and melodies with precise stages of volcanic
activity we hope to discover a sort of “signature tune” of an imminent eruption or earthquake.
• By identifying musical patterns that warn of an eruption it would be possible to implement civil protection measures, days or even hours before the event
FP6−2004−Infrastructures−6-SSA-026409
E-infrastructure shared between Europe and Latin America• Data audification can be considered as the acoustic counterpart of data graphic visualization, a mathematical mapping of information from data sets to sounds.
• Data audification is currently used in several fields, for different purposes: – science and engineering, – education and training, mainly as data analysis and interpretation tool.
• Although most data analysis techniques are exclusively visual in nature, data presentation and exploration systems could benefit greatly from the addition of sonification capabilities.
•Sonic representations are particularly useful when dealing with complex, high-dimensional data, or in data monitoring tasks where it is practically impossible to use the visual inspection, or for pattern detection.
• Research has shown that people are quite more confident in recognizing patterns audibly rather then visually.
• Music theorists and researchers have carried out in centuries of history lots of techniques and methods to detect, study and classify musical phrases.
• Main idea: Music as a language and music analysis as a tool to inspect scientific data.

(Intermediate) Summary
• EELA is a concrete reality and represents the first step to bridge EU and LA in e-Science exploiting GEANT2 and RedCLARA networks and following the EGEE policies.
• The EELA workplan is very challenging but holds the promise to alleviate the digital divide in Latin America.
• EELA is open to all interested people/Institutes willing to collaborate.

Summary and Conclusions
• e-Science represents one of the key enablers of the progress and sustainable development of a country.
• EU is developing programmes to stimulate and foster e-Science well outside its borders.
• ALICE and EELA are indeed considered strategic projects in Brussels for the cooperation between Europe and Latin America.
• LA (and Chile in particular) should profit of this as much as possible and build the basis now for the long term sustainability of both network and grid infrastructures in the continent (country).
