2. EMI Execution Service (EMI- ES)
Compute Area
EMI Execution Service (EMI- ES)
Feeling that there is not a common vision.
EMI-ES just as a prototype (since the goal is to implement and support something really standard) vs. EMI-ES as a production system
Clarify EMI-ES support in WMS
Find the right balance among objectives targeted to standardization, harmonization, removal of duplications, and requests coming from our user communities, otherwise there is the risk to lose some existing customers
Pilot jobs
Clear message from the WLCG WM TEG that the LHC experiments are all referring to pilot based frameworks and intend to keep following this path
We should focus in this area, to address some existing issues
Enhancing the functionality of the CE to implement a generic, non VO specific pilot factory
Standardization of pilots and pilot based frameworks ?

3. Compute Area Some items in the workplan for the third year are risky
There is not a clear understanding (yet) on what should be done e.g. for:
Implement cloud strategy
Integrate EMI delegation in compute services
Implement EMI unified solution for service monitoring
Some other items not in the workplan where work should be done:
Support execution on user-defined virtual environments
Possible implementations: WNODES, ...
Improve batch system support in CREAM (SLURM and Condor)
Support workflow in gLite WMS
CREAM-LB integration
