PRAGMA Update 21 October 2005 Hyderabad

PRAGMAs Founding Motivations – Updated 2005 The grid is transforming e-science: computing, data *, and collaboration The problem remains that the grid is too hard to use on a routine basis Middleware software and people need to interoperate Science is an intrinsically global activity

Key Attributes of PRAGMA Successes (Intangible but Critical) Constructed conduit of technology, ideas, information, people –Multi-directional flow among institutions and communities of software, approaches Developed framework for collaboration –Foundation for continued and greater work Built trust among members –Interoperability is essential among people –Sharing (resources, ideas, people) resulted Results: many unplanned, tangible successes
