1. WP6 Infrastructure Resource Market Place Overview of progress UEssex High-Performance Network Group

2. WP6 Overall Objective Study, design and simulation of the necessary algorithms for the implementation of the MANTYCHORE marketplace mechanism – Enable the automatic negotiation and reservation of resources between users and providers. the capability to automatically select, orchestrate and reserve the best resources for a given request To use the marketplace in order to allow the NRENs to announce their own infrastructure as resources of MANTYCHORE services – Users from virtual research communities will be able to access resources from several providers

3. WP6 Structure WP6 leader: UEssex Duration M2-M20 T6.1: Infrastructure marketplace mechanisms study and simulation T6.2: Implementation of the marketplace prototype Participants: UEssex, NORDUnet, i2CAT, TID Total MM = 17

5. Technical Approach Study and analysis of existing and state of the art work (M2-M9) Definition of a market place based use case (M5-M7) Initial design of market place (M5-M9) Simulation and emulation analysis (M8-M20) Design finalization V1 (M15) Implementation (M15-M20) Design finalization V2 (M20) (Green colour tasks have been started and progressing, Orange Colour tasks to be started)

6. Technical Progress Study and analysis of existing and state of the art work (M2-M9) – Review of projects and framework relevant to L3 virtualization and virtual IP resource allocation XBONE PLanetLab VIOLIN AUTOI AGAVE – Review of existing network brokering mechanisms Internet2 approach: NARB (Network Aware Resource Broker) Grid approach: Market-Oriented Grid algorithms

7. Technical Progress Definition of market place based use case (M5-M7) – The use case will be based on UK Ultra-high Definition (UHD) consortium network infrastructure The UK Ultra-high Definition (UHD) consortium is a networked infrastructure for the development and deployment of next generation networked multimedia applications and services. It consists of five members namely: University of Essex (Essex), University of Strathclyde (Glasgow), Digital Design Studio (Glasgow), University of Cardiff (Cardiff), and Technium CAST (Bangor). The current setup is made up of three networked nodes – Essex, Glasgow, and Cardiff – which are interconnected via the JANET UK network, and is investigating the development and deployment of interactive UHD 3D media applications in the medical and cultural heritage/ virtual tourism domains.

8. Technical Progress Definition of market place based use case (M5-M7) – Use case emulated infrastructure Emulated Infrastrcuture1 Emulated Infrastrcuture2

9. Technical Progress Definition of market place based use case (M5-M7) – Use case emulated infrastructure There are two in depended emulated infrastructures – Infrastructure 1: Ring – Infrastructure 2: Star – Edge devices (visualization + servers) are same in both infrastructure but for simplicity they are shown in separately. It means there are two independent providers (infrastructure) providing connectivity service for user to same edge devices/resource but the cost and QoS for each infrastructure is different – This emulates two providers provisioning connectivity service to same set of visualization devices and computing servers – Market place will facilitate resource brokerage, selection and negotiation for user request

10. Technical Progress Definition of market place based use case (M5-M7) – Mantychore +Market place Mantychore software tools in emulation Mantychore Market place in emulation
