Title : OGSA/GT3 evaluation activity at CERN
Authors : M. Lamanna et al.
Abstract : 
An OGSA/GT3 evaluation group is active at CERN since GT3 was available
in early beta version (Spring 2003). This activity focuses on the
evaluation of the technology as promised by the OGSA/OGSI paradigm and
on GT3 in particular.  The goal was to study this new technology and its
implications with the goal to provide useful input for the large grid
initiatives active in the LHC Computing Grid (LCG) project. A particular
effort has been devoted to investigate performance and deployment
issues, having in mind the LCG requirements, in particular scalability
and robustness. In this article, the activity and the main results of
this activity are summarized.
