3 27-Apr-2004AstroGrid Consortium Meeting - PL talk Goals for this meeting understand progress to date scope to completion Itn-06 plans

5 27-Apr-2004AstroGrid Consortium Meeting - PL talk PL review status progress next steps

7 27-Apr-2004AstroGrid Consortium Meeting - PL talk Where are we ? 16 months into Phase B using 23ish FTEs spent 2.7M (three-quarters of budget)

8 27-Apr-2004AstroGrid Consortium Meeting - PL talk achievements : research political visibility technology evaluation several impressive reports contributions to standards

9 27-Apr-2004AstroGrid Consortium Meeting - PL talk achievements : engineering bulk of engine room components portal, myspace, community, data access, workflow most of these being done by no other VO projects contributions to working demos some released software but few tools and integration hard

10 27-Apr-2004AstroGrid Consortium Meeting - PL talk achievements : deployment no real data deployment primitive working system no users

11 27-Apr-2004AstroGrid Consortium Meeting - PL talk news new Finance Officer (John Pye) Astrogrid2 funded SSVO joined forces Total AG2+ = 4.0M VOTECH proposal submitted to FP6 may fund +6 staff AVO demo January : first science

12 27-Apr-2004AstroGrid Consortium Meeting - PL talk AstroGrid-2 plans Design study underway : May 15 Project Plan : early June PPARC review : July-August ? Design Reference Architecture : October Start : Jan 2005

14 27-Apr-2004AstroGrid Consortium Meeting - PL talk the eightfold path develop standards for data, metadata, data exchange and provenance develop a software infrastructure for data services establish a physical grid of resources construct and maintain a Service and Resource Registry implement a working VO system of real scientific use to astronomers provide a user interface to that VO system provide or adapt a set of science user tools to work with the VO establish a leading position for the UK in VO work

15 27-Apr-2004AstroGrid Consortium Meeting - PL talk progress (1-4) develop standards for data, metadata, data exchange and provenance on track through IVOA develop a software infrastructure for data services good progress establish a physical grid of resources hardly started; needs DC co-operation construct and maintain a Service and Resource Registry good progress

16 27-Apr-2004AstroGrid Consortium Meeting - PL talk progress (5-8) implement a working VO system of real scientific use to astronomers not seriously attempted yet provide a user interface to that VO system basic technical components : good user friendly skin : thou jesteth provide or adapt a set of science user tools to work with the VO provide : officially abandoned due to lack of resource adapt : good progress establish a leading position for the UK in VO work excellent but could still go backwards !

18 27-Apr-2004AstroGrid Consortium Meeting - PL talk Delivery Philosophy AstroGrid-1 will deliver AstroGrid-2 is not an excuse not a continuous programme Descope if necessary : NOW

19 27-Apr-2004AstroGrid Consortium Meeting - PL talk Key tasks finish components push IVOA standards deploy to UK data centres (July) deploy to AVO (Jan) publicise worldwide

20 27-Apr-2004AstroGrid Consortium Meeting - PL talk components nothing new integrate make robust and easy to install document

21 27-Apr-2004AstroGrid Consortium Meeting - PL talk Two Projects AstroGrid-A: 70% done generic VO s/w suite contributions to standards programme AstroGrid-B: 10% done working implementation for UK astronomers physical grid of resources

22 27-Apr-2004AstroGrid Consortium Meeting - PL talk Deployment can't wait for Itn-08 : start now need to work with Data Centres needs real data, real machines needs stable s/w needs different mentality special WG use Itn-05 software

23 27-Apr-2004AstroGrid Consortium Meeting - PL talk Releases distinguish types of release internal s/w suite releases : I external s/w suite releases : E physical deployments : D AGSAG see only D-types world VO projects see E-types data centres see E-types

24 27-Apr-2004AstroGrid Consortium Meeting - PL talk Whats involved ? code tidying component installation at DCs web page design and build no new portal technology real data : DCA installation real machines : provided by DCs network tuning tool integration documentation and user guide
