User Support

• Personal induction and support for users in Israel from various scientific fields (biology, physics, computer science)

• Find solutions for users transferring their special applications to the grid

Additional challenges

• Assimilation is needed after induction

• Library of examples from different domains

• Solution for short tasks (not thru RB)

• Resources (like DB) are not standard in VOs

• User’s registration process is too long (and not online):– UI user– Certificate– Registration for a VO
