Abstract

The EGRID project aims at implementing a national facility for processing economic and financial data using computational grid technology. As such, it acts as the underlying fabric on top of which partner projects, more strictly focused on research in itself, develop end-user applications. In this paper we present the first release of the infrastructure, which is based on European DataGrid (EDG) middleware and is hosted as an independent Virtual Organization (VO) within INFN-GRID (Czajkowski et al., 2001). However, the EDG middleware is partially inadequate for our partners because of security, privacy and user friendliness. A detailed discussion of temporary workarounds and planned future enhancements will be presented.
