Brief history
- Cuba participates in the EELA Projectsince January 1st.
-At the same time a National GridInitiative (NGI) was launched in theframe of a national Program entitled“Cuban Network for Science”
- Two project complemented each other

Applications
MOODLE (Modular-Oriented DynamicLearning Environment)
- Possibility to use the grid computingpower for online simulations
- MOODLE is modular, new modules wereadded to interact with the GRID

Applications
AERMOD
- CPU intensive
- Suitable for gridification, because thereceptors are independent and thecontribution from a source is additive
- 5 times faster running in a Gridenvironment

Interoperability
Java Distributed System forBioinformatic
-Developed at UCI (non in a Gridenviroment)
- It was a need to make the systeminteroperable with gLite.

Final remarks
-Additionally, the local grid infrastructurewas made interoperable with a Java baseddistributed system for bioinformaticscalculations.
- This experience could be considered as asuitable approach for national networkswith limited Internet connections.
