5. Main planned collaborations
EGI
organizing grid activities in Europe
dissemination
desktop grid extension know-how for grid systems
Available EDGI applications
publishing EDGI middleware in the EGI repository
support for the EGI user communities
Application porting
NGIs
extending NGI infrastructures with EDGI services
supporting NGI user communities
EMI
middleware development for maintaining the EDGI bridge for
ARC
gLite
Unicore

6. Dissemination collaboration between EGI and EuroCivis
EuroCivis: European Desktop Grid Federation
To disseminate knowledge on
Establishing desktop grids
Maintaining desktop grids
Application development for desktop grids
Usage of desktop grids with EGI service grids in an integrated way
We expect strong collaboration between EGI and EuroCivis

7. Infrastructure extension collaboration between NGIs and EDGI
EDGI will create a reference EDGI infrastructure
NGIs can extend their infrastructure in two ways:
Using the EDGI bridge services of the reference EDGI infrastructure
Using the EDGI know-how to extend their infrastructure with DGs created by the NGI (e.g. university DGs can extend the SG of an NGI)
EDGI will invite as subcontractor three infrastructure providers (could be SG, DG, Cloud provider)
We expect dissemination support from EGI and NGIs

8. Collaboration for user support between NGIs and EDGI
EDGI creates an application repository storing validated applications
NGI users can access and use these applications
EDGI supports NGI users
to port their application to the EDGI infrastructure
validate them
Publish them in the EDGI repository for the whole user community
EDGI will invite as subcontractor three user communities to port their applications to the EDGI infrastructure
We expect dissemination support from EGI and NGIs

9. Middleware development collaboration between EMI and EDGI
Joint meetings, workshops
