OMII-Europe ( Open Middleware Infrastructure Institute for Europe) A.Ghiselli INFN-CNAF Referee meeting, settembre 2007

EU project: RIO31844-OMII-EUROPE What is OMII-Europe? ( EU funded FP6 project (RI) –Starting May 2006, initial 2 year duration (up to 4/08) –16 partners (8 European, 4 USA, 4 Chinese) Goal is to provide key software components, standard compliant, for building e-infrastructures What will OMII-Europe do? –Common interoperable services: Database Access, Virtual Organisation Management, Portal, Accounting, Job Submission and Job Monitoring Capability to add additional services –Infrastructure integration Initial EGEE/UNICORE/Globus interoperability Interoperable security framework

EU project: RIO31844-OMII-EUROPE OMII-Europe guiding principles Committed to standards process –Implementing agreed open standards and working with standards process (GGF/Oasis) Quality Assurance –Published methodology and compliance test –All software components have QA process and audit trail –Working with similar projects and organisations to agree policies Impartiality –OMII-Europe is “honest broker” providing impartial advice/information on e-infrastructures

Spotlight on some achievements thus far (review in june 07, INFN specific) VOMS service extended to SAML support and integrated into UNICORE –SAML support available for integration into EGEE BES service available for UNICORE, OMII-UK, CREAM-BES Implementation of a common resource usage service (RUS) for gLite (DGAS), Globus (SGAS) and UNICORE in progress Initiated development of a common security profile acceptable to all grid middleware systems –gLite, Globus and UNICORE to accept x509 Proxy cert. Produced first grid benchmarking reports Plan for GLUE-2 schema implementation for JSDL/BES CEs just started Repository in place and open to activities for upload of re-engineered components OGSA-DAI 3.0 alpha version for UNICORE and gLite available Portal demonstrator access to gLite and UNICORE providing single sign on and access to resources –Interest from EGEE sites

EU project: RIO31844-OMII-EUROPE Plans for the forthcoming months “To move from providing common services and interoperable infrastructures to a complete, reliable set of services and demonstrable solutions”

EU project: RIO31844-OMII-EUROPE Plans for the forthcoming months: Integration between activities (INFN specific) JRA1/VOMS with JRA1/Job submission and JRA1/accounting –Use of SAML assertions in BES servers (CREAM/BES) –Use of SAML assertions in RUS servers (DGAS/RUS) JRA3/Security –Common authentication/authorization solutions will be adopted for secure job submission and accounting operations JRA2 with JRA1/JobSub –GlueSchema is one of the topics which was selected by JRA2 for evolution and implementation during the second year; it will be integrated in CREAM/BES and UNICORE/BES –GlueSchema will be used to express requirements on resources in JSDL JRA4/Benchmarking –Benchmarking test for CREAM/BES, VOMS/SAML and DGAS/RUS SA3/evaluation infrastructure and SA1/repository –All the implemented services will be downloaded from the Repository and deployed on the integrated gLite-Unicore infrastructure

EU project: RIO31844-OMII-EUROPE Participation in middleware standardisation Most project participants involved as member/observer in many OGF WG –OGSA RUS/UR WG (Resource Usage Server) –OGSA BES WG (Basic Execution Service) –OGSA JSDL WG (Job Submission Description Language) –GIN CG (Grid Interoperability Now) –OGSA-AuthZ-WG (Authorization) –GLUE WG (Grid service information modeling)
