6th International dCache Workshop

17 Apr 2012, 09:00 → 19 Apr 2012, 14:30 Europe/Berlin

S1 (DESY, Zeuthen)

Doris Ressmann (Karlsruher Institute of Technology), Patrick Fuhrmann (DESY)

The 6th International dCache workshop is an event in a series of workshops, meant to build and maintain an active dCache community and to strengthen the relationship between dCache system administrators and dCache developers.
Developers will present their lastest work as well as work planned for the near future and system adminstrators will be given the chance to report on non standard setups they have built with dCache technology.
This years workshop is organized by the dCache German support group, dCache.org and the DESY/Zeuthen storage management team, which kindly took over the local organization.
Optionally we are offering 1/2 day of dCache beginners tutorial which you can register for during the registration process.

The workshop will be held at a beautiful lake at DESY in Zeuthen, not far from Berlin. We are planing to celebrate the workshop dinner at a brewery in the city of Berlin.

Consult the 'Accomodation' page for details on hostel and hotel rooms. The workshop fee is 60 Euros for the core workshop and 70 Euros if you decide to join us for the beginners tutorial.

10:00 → 10:15 MetaQuant : a new platform dealing with DNA samples

Classical genomic deal with DNA information coming from a pure strain. By using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), DNA sample of mixed strains can be processed in a global manner. Hence, it is name metagenomic and try to capture the microbiome diversity from rich ecosystem. NGS are feeding Big data issues and thus processing data is challenging. By using an innovating filesystem like dCache, the storage and the data access can be eased to the MetaQuant benefit.
