Chile Structuring Workshop www.eu-egi.eu7 The Need for a Permanent, Common Grid Infrastructure Production Grids are reality today, but … Dependency: Some application domains depend on grids already today by using them for production runs Protection of Investment: Investment in grids, both from funding organizations and from users, need to be protected Perspective: Today’s grid users are grid enthusiasts, tomorrows grid users ask for a longer term perspective

Chile Structuring Workshop www.eu-egi.eu9 e-IRG Delegates Meeting, London, 12/2005 Recommendation: “The e-IRG recognises that the current project-based financing model of grids (e.g., EGEE, DEISA) presents continuity and interoperability problems, and that new financing and governance models need to be explored – taking into account the role of national grid initiatives as recommended in the Luxembourg e-IRG meeting.”

Chile Structuring Workshop www.eu-egi.eu11 Characteristics of NGIs Each NGI … should be a recognized national body with a single point-of-contact … should mobilize national funding and resources … should ensure the operation of a national e- Infrastructure … should support user communities (application independent, and open to new user communities and resource providers) … should contribute and adhere to international standards and policies Available soon: Guidelines for NGIs – Prepared by EGI_DS
12
Chile Structuring Workshop www.eu-egi.eu12 e-IRG Recommendations on Sustainable e-Infrastructures I:governments and the Commission should develop policies and mechanisms to encourage increased investment in a more coherent and interoperable way across Europe II: the existing e-Infrastructure projects must be superseded by integrated sustainable services at national and European levels III: e-Infrastructures must be application-neutral and open to all user communities and resource providers. National funding agencies should be encouraged to fund multi- disciplinary and inclusive infrastructures rather than disciplinary-specific alternatives
13
Chile Structuring Workshop www.eu-egi.eu13 e-IRG Recommendations on Sustainable e-Infrastructures IV: e-Infrastructures must inter-operate and adopt international standard services and protocols in order to qualify for funding V: the Commission should, within the seventh Framework Programme, develop a pan-European e-Infrastructure which explicitly encourages the further integration of national e-Infrastructure initiatives e-IRG Task Force on Sustainable e-Infrastructures (SeI) http://www.e-irg.org/publ/2006-Report_e-IRG_TF-SEI.pdf

Chile Structuring Workshop www.eu-egi.eu19 European Grid Initiative Goal: Ensure the long-term sustainability of grid infrastructures in Europe by establishing a new federated model bringing together NGIs to build the EGI Organization Objectives: Ensure the long-term sustainability of the European e- infrastructure Coordinate the integration and interaction between National Grid Infrastructures Operate the European level of the production Grid infrastructure for a wide range of scientific disciplines to link National Grid Infrastructures
20
Chile Structuring Workshop www.eu-egi.eu20 Ensure the long-term sustainability of the European e-infrastructure Coordinate the integration and interaction between National Grid Infrastructures Operate the European level of the production Grid infrastructure for a wide range of scientific disciplines to link National Grid Infrastructures Provide global services and support that complement and/or coordinate national services (Authentication, VO-support, security, etc); Coordinate middleware development and standardization to enhance the infrastructure by soliciting targeted developments from leading EU and National Grid middleware development projects; Advise National and European Funding Agencies in establishing their programmes for future software developments based on agreed user needs and development standards; Integrate, test, validate and package software from leading Grid middleware development projects and make it widely available; Provide documentation and training material for the middleware and operations. (NGIs may wish to make the material available in turn in their local language); Take into account developments made by national e-science projects which were aimed at supporting diverse communities. Link the European infrastructure with similar infrastructures elsewhere; Promote Grid interface standards based on practical experience gained from Grid operations and middleware integration activities, in consultation with relevant standards organizations; Collaborate closely with industry as technology and service providers, as well as Grid users, to promote the rapid and successful uptake of Grid technology by European industry.

35
Chile Structuring Workshop www.eu-egi.eu35 e-IRG Recommendations on Industrial Uptake Recommendation 1: Coordination between EC funded projects with business related objectives has to be improved. Recommendation 2: To aid entrepreneurship, public organisations employing researchers should be encouraged to define employment conditions that permit individuals to continue their research while developing business opportunities in parallel. Recommendation 3: Pre-commercial procurement can be geared to contribute directly to the development of important new lead markets for innovative products and services and thereby to the creation of growth and jobs in Europe.
