Use of Grid Tools to Support CMS Distributed Analysis

In order to prepare the Physic Technical Design Report, due by end of 2005, the CMS experiment needs to simulate, reconstruct and anlayse about 100 million events, corresponding to more than 200 TB of data. The data will be distributed to several Computing Centres. In order to provide access to the whole data sample to all the world-wide dispersed physicists, CMS is developing a layer of software that uses the grid tools provided by the LCG project to gain access to data and resources and that aims to provide physicists with a user friendly interface for submitting analysis jobs. The GRID tools used are both those already available in the LCG-2 release and those being developed in gain access to data and resources and that aims to provide physicists with a user friendly interface for submitting analysis jobs. The GRID tools used are both those already available in the LCG-2 release and those being developed in the framework of the ARDA project. This work describes the current status and the future developments of the CMS analysis system.
