4. SA3 Objectives Transition to sustainable support:
Identify tools of benefit to multiple communities
Migrate these as part of the core infrastructure
Establish support models for those relevant to individual communities

5. Achievements
Achievements and Future plans are based on D6.6 – the SA3 Annual Report
Rather than make two passes over all of the communities, tools and services they are presented together:
By community for TSA3.3 – TSA3.6
HEP, LS, A&A, ES
By tool for TSA3.2 (shared tools and services)

6. Achievements in Context
To give an explicit example, we give the case of HEP and support for WLCG
The 3 phases of EGEE (I/II/III) almost completely overlapped with final preparations for LHC data taking:
WLCG Service Challenges 1-4, CCRC’08, STEP’09
EGI-InSPIRE SA3 covered virtually all the initial data taking run (3.5TeV/beam) of the LHC: first data taking and discoveries!
The transition from EGEE to EGI was non-disruptive
Continuous service improvement was seen
Problems encountered during initial data taking were rapidly solved
Significant progress in the identification and delivery of common solutions
Active participation in the definition of the future evolution of WLCG

7. LHC(b) – Results!

These tools are critical in integrating complex processes, generally involving multiple data sources and different computational resources, as needed within many disciplines. 
Recent work:
New template use cases basing on user requirements, improving the performance of the Kepler actors, and performing tests of the different use cases;
Use cases initially prepared for the Fusion community have been customised and reused by other communities;

The first astrophysics workflow has been customised and tested. It controls the production of realistic simulations of the anisotropies of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation;
The first workflows from the CompChem area have been arranged and customised.
Plans for the future:
Dissemination activities have allowed us to show the impact of the work to other communities.
The improvements introduced in the actors to improve reliability and scalability, can be of interest for many other communities and can potentially extend the usage of this tool.

41. Other Communities & Shared Services & Tools
MPI
The MPI sub-task produces numerous workbenches of increasing complexity with specific high impact on the Computational Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Fusion, and Astronomy & Astrophysics communities.

42. Plans for next year (1/3)
Build on success in identifying and delivering common solutions
Some significant successes seen – beyond expectations!
Realisation of sustainability plans which have been demonstrated during project in some cases
Collaborative support, less sensitive to changes at individual sites
Minor modifications to the DoW proposed:
Synchronisation of MS619 with EGI CF 2013 PC
Merge of MS620 / D6.9 to reflect end of SA3 in PM 36
(See next slide)
D6.8 (sustainability) & D6.9 (annual report) could also be merged

43. Plans for next year (2/3) The SA3 work package ends in April 2013
All of the objectives must therefore be achieved by then
Any developments must be completed, fully documented, put into production & their long-term support handed over
Even if, in some cases, there is on-going work the plans must take into account this reality

44. Plans for next year (3/3)
All disciplines supported by SA3 rely on external funding, typically through national funding agencies (including international organisations such as CERN – funded by member states);
The specific support provided by SA3 has ensured a smooth transition to EGI, brought new services to production and increased commonality, reducing long-term support costs;
It will be missed but we will (need to) adapt within individual communities to ensure continued support;
This adaption – together with completion of existing tasks – will define the work plan for PY3.

45. Review of Objectives 2011 Objective Status
Supporting the tools, services and capabilities required by different HUCs
Achieved – work continues in PY2 / PY3
Identifying the tools, services and capabilities currently used by the HUCs that can benefit all user communities and to promote their adoption
Several additional items identified and shared across other communities – work will expand and continue in PY2 / PY3
Migrating the tools, services and capabilities that could benefit all user communities into a sustainable support model as part of the core EGI infrastructure
Not started – needs further work and discussion
First steps: D6.2 (sustainability) & EGI TF w/s
Establishing a sustainable support model for the tools, services and capabilities that will remain relevant to single HUCs
Collaborative support is the basic model for sustainability that does not depend on individual partners nor specific project funding. A workshop on sustainability at the EGI TF is proposed – work continues and expands in PY2 and PY3. See also D6.2.

46. Review of Objectives 2012 Objective Status
Supporting the tools, services and capabilities required by different HUCs
Achieved – work continues in PY3; support must be handed over prior to WP end!
Identifying the tools, services and capabilities currently used by the HUCs that can benefit all user communities and to promote their adoption
Several additional items identified and shared across communities – work expanded and will continue in PY3. By definition, the work has focused on production use, including enabling new (and old) VOs.
Migrating the tools, services and capabilities that could benefit all user communities into a sustainable support model as part of the core EGI infrastructure
The long-term support of these tools and even basic middleware looks as if it will depend on the communities that require them.
Establishing a sustainable support model for the tools, services and capabilities that will remain relevant to single HUCs
Collaborative support is the basic model for sustainability that does not depend on individual partners nor specific project funding. A workshop on sustainability at the EGI TF 2011 was held and is documented in D6.5.
