Abstract :
We present the IKAROS Metadata service (iMDS) as autility. The iMDS permit us to form virtual scalable storage formations in order to create user-driven computing facilities with application users and owners playing a decisive role in governance and focusing on placing computer science and the harvesting of ´big data´ at the center of scientific discovery. This approach enable users to virtually connect the several different computing facilities (Grids, Clouds, HPCs, Data Centers, Local computing Clusters and personal storage devices), being utilized by an international collaborative experiment, on-demand based on their needs.
