Report on the progress of the deployment of consolidated platform and its interactions with infrastructure

This document reports on the activities of the Work Package 4 (WP4). Building on a considerable legacy of existing operational web portals developed and used by the Structural Biology / WeNMR user community, WP4 aims at provisioning a consistent einfrastructure to allow gradual integration of the existing isolated solutions to a single computing and data processing environment, based on the state of the art grid and cloud open source software tools and frameworks. This report follows the document D4.3, delivered at project month 15, and the document M4.4 delivered at month 24, so that only the progress achieved until project month 26 not already described previously will be reported here. The document starts with an updated description of the resources potentially available for the project from the EGI e-infrastructure, on top of which the consolidated West-Life platform is being built. It then presents a detailed view of resource usage and their geographical distribution in the second year of the project, as obtained from the EGI Accounting Portal. The remaining of the document reports the latest experiences and updates the activity plans on the consolidated job management mechanism, the programmatic access to datasets and the unified security and accounting model.
