The topics covered in the workshop were: 1- Integration of applications in distributed infrastructures. This topic focuses on success stories from applications in distributed infrastructures and an analysis of tools for improving the efficient usage of infrastructures (e.g. Job management, scientific gateways, workflow enactment, etc.) both standard or developed by the teams that use them. 2- Presentation of the user Access portal and technologies (such as the access to Grid resources from the web interface) 3- Description of needs and evaluation of the current access mechanism. 4- Round table and debate: Do users need Cloud-like distributed computing models? The virtualization of services inside the resource centres is a very useful technique for system administrators. The purpose of this round table is to survey the opinions of users about the possibility of offering resources in the form of Infrastructures as a Services (such as Amazon EC2).
