New Science on the Open Science Grid

Understand

The Open Science Grid (OSG) includes work to enable new science, new scientists, and new modalities in support of computationally based research.

• There are frequently significant sociological and organizational changes required in transformation from the existing to the new.
• OSG leverages its deliverables to the large scale physics experiment member communities to benefit new communities at all scales through activities in education, engagement and the distributed facility.
• As a partner to the poster and tutorial at SciDAC 2008, this paper gives both a brief general description and some specific examples of new science enabled on the OSG.
