BaSTI: the Virtual Observatory meets the Computational Grid

We present the prototype of the new BaSTI web portal. This portal is a GRID and Virtual Observatory integrated facility that allows to exploit the computational and storage capabilities of the EGEE-II GRID environment from a Virtual Observatory compliant web portal. This facility provides data access to large sets of stellar evolution models, it is also able to create on-the-fly models submitting a large number of jobs on the GRID and collecting the results. This portal is a first example of a service that is able to bridge two different GRID environments: the Virtual Observatory and the EGEE-II computational and data GRID.
