4. GRID-Workshop 24 May 2006 4 The problem with GRID IT standards Most GRIDs today are built around an early set of de facto standards and toolkits. A new generation of industrial strength global standards is required to fully exploit the Grids potential. http://www.cordis.lu/ist/grids/building_grids_for_europe.htm As mentioned in IEEE Publication Emerging GRID Standards (04/ 2005),Individual projects carried out to meet specific needs must interact as part of a larger Grid environment, but no international consensus exists as to which of the many ideas, proposed standards, and specifications are likely to dominate in the future.

GRID-Workshop 24 May 2006 7 2006 ICT Standardisation Work Programme Study on GRID Interoperability & Validation of International Open Grid Standards Collaboration with, international standards bodies and consortia (IETF, W3C, OASIS,..), community and industry fora and initiatives (GGF, DMTF, WS-I, EGA etc), the European Standardisation Organisations and the NESSI European Technology Platform in the field of standardisation

8. GRID-Workshop 24 May 2006 8 Potential for ETSI ETSI already has: Many Members are active GRID stakeholders Organized 2 GRID Plugtests TM events PTCC owns high GRID testing potential A neutral position to work and produce consensus based GRID interoperability Gap Analysis and its evaluation. Existing Technical Bodies already involved in related areas: TISPAN architecture, security and QoS control can be extended to link GRID with telecom networks ETSI has the « Know How » in Telecom required by GRID utility

9. GRID-Workshop 24 May 2006 9 Next steps... to get it happening Continue GRID Plugtest TM events offered to EU research projects and GGF Encourage TC TISPAN to start work item Release 2 for GRID support GRID-SG kick-off, scope, guidance and ToR Board#57 21-22 June GRID-SG Report with ETSI Members contributions
