The University of Melbourne, represented by Australia-ATLAS as part of the Experimental Particle Physics Group, has now signed on as a partner to EGI-Inspire.

Australia-ATLAS will continue the work started under the EGEE project, aiding researchers to access data and resources across international and institutional boundaries.

Tom Fifield collaborating with the DIRAC Team at the University of Barcelona just completed a series of successful exercises using a combination of Amazon's Cloud computing resources and the Belle II distributed computing GRID resources.

Martin Sevior presented an updated version of "Belle Monte Carlo Production on the Amazon EC2 Cloud", which detailed further work on scalability of cloud computing.

Tom Fifield, technical lead of Australia-ATLAS' Application Porting team announced that Australia-ATLAS is now working with researchers from the Australian Synchrotron and Melbourne Neuropsychiatry Centre to assist their use of grid computing. The work will be presented at eResearch Australasia.

As part of the multi-collaboration STEP09 experiment, Australia-ATLAS has broken Australian records by downloading 65 Terrabytes of data from the LHC in under two weeks.

Martin Sevior, as lead of the Belle II distributed computing group, has commission the construction of a grid training program for Belle II.

Tom Fifield gave a presentation at EGEE09 outlining the Application Porting Work at Australia-ATLAS.

Martin Sevior presented "Belle Monte Carlo Production on the Amazon EC2 Cloud" in a plenary speech.

Martin Sevior was interview by International Science Grid This Week regarding "Belle Monte Carlo Production on the Amazon EC2 Cloud" The interview can be found online
