3. First break-out
Background and Users

4. Who will be the user? Can the users be characterised? How many are they?
an undergraduate student attending a course, she has an assignment to do and she needs to use lecture notes and run some computations
10 universities in Europe, thousands at any given time
User 2:
A researcher/developer, who needs a lot of computational power for testing
A few dozens?

5. What value will the envisaged system deliver for them (the whole setup)? What will the system exactly deliver to them?
A system of this scale is hard to install on the machine like a laptop we are using now, it’s expensive
A benefit of a shared project, collaborative working environment
Reducing an overhead on a student/university/researcher/developer
Enhancing the students learning experiences
Speeding up the research/developing work
More impact

6. How should they use the system?
Using already existing web interfaces (provided by the project platform)

7. What's the timeline for development, testing and large-scale operation
What's the timeline for development, testing and large-scale operation? (Consecutive releases can/should be considered.)
Now, a four-year project, that has three more years left

8. Design and implementation plan
Second break-out
Design and implementation plan

9. What should the first version include
What should the first version include? - The most basic product prototype imaginable already bringing value to the users (the so-called Minimal Viable Product - MVP)
Not applicable
The prototype already exists

10. Which components/services already exist in this architecture?
web(browser)-based frontends (Jupyter notebooks (and kernels), SageMath notebooks, SMC notebooks, )
backends: SageMath and other systems (e.g. Anaconda); distributed as source, binary installs (wheels)
online databases, such as LMFDB (number-theoretic objects),...
SMC service (run by a commercial company on Google Compute Engine, although completely with GPL software)
development and testing frameworks

11. Which components/services are under development (and by who)?
Docker (and other?) containers for backend deployment
SMC installs made user-friendly
semantic-aware interfaces between systems

12. Which components/services should be still brought into the system
Which components/services should be still brought into the system? Which EGI/EUDAT/GEANT/OpenAIRE partner can do it?
EGI – advanced computing services (federated clouds)
EUDAT – perhaps B2FIND (metadata catalogue for research data) on the later stages
OpenAIRE – Dashboard for Research Communities, LOD, TDM

13. Are there gaps in the EGI/EUDAT/GEANT/OpenAIRE service catalogues that should be filled to implement the use case? Which service provider could fill the gap?
A user friendly interface on how to start using the services, are they free, is there a pricing scheme, etc?

14. Next steps
EGI – OpenDreamKit will contact Diego by to discuss more details
OpenAIRE – Iryna Kuchma will more details ASAP
OpenDreamKit will contact EUDAT if there is a plan to use B2FIND
