1. CoreGRID: European Research Network on Foundations, Software Infrastructures and Applications for large scale distributed, GRID and Peer-to-Peer Technologies Wolfgang Ziegler Collaboration Gateway Fraunhofer Institute SCAI http://www.coregrid.net Wolfgang.Ziegler@scai.fraunhoher. de

2. CoreGRID objectives • To build a European-wide research laboratory • To avoid fragmentation of Grid research activities in Europe • Create the European “Grid Lighthouse” and be seen as such worldwide • To achieve integration and sustainability • To build solid foundations for GRID and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technologies • Both on a methodological basis and a technological basis. • Support medium and long term research activities • Achieve and promote scientific and technological excellence within & beyond the Grid research community • Gather and disseminate European research • A think-tank for spin-off projects • EC funded, bilateral projects, international cooperations, … European Research Network on Foundations, Software Infrastructures and Applications for large scale distributed, GRID and Peer-to-Peer Technologies

3. Network priorities • Excellence • CoreGRID brings together a European critical mass of well-known experts in GRID and P2P research allowing to compete with research and development in North America and Asia • An ambitious joint program of activities to deal with well identified challenges • Long-term integration & structuring • Set-up a sustainable European research laboratory with an associated management • With several Institutes • With research groups assigned to Institutes European Research Network on Foundations, Software Infrastructures and Applications for large scale distributed, GRID and Peer-to-Peer Technologies

4. CoreGRID membership • 42 partners • 18 Countries (1 from S. America) • 120 Researchers • 165 PhD Students IC RAL-CCLRC U. Belfast U. Cambridge U. Cardiff U. Manchester U. Newcastle U.

8. Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) • IAB has four primary objectives: • To communicate to the Network European Industry’s long-term Grid-related technology needs and challenges • To provide the Network with Grid validation cases • To help identify the market sector(s) to be addressed within the Grid User Community, in order to ensure a quick adoption of next generation Grid technologies within European industry • To report to the Scientific Advisory Board its recommendation with respect to future strategic GRID-related research objectives • IAB is composed of 15 members from the European industrial sector • ALGOSYSTEMS SA, Yannis Perros • ATOS ORIGIN, Santi Ristol • DATAMAT, Federico Rossi • EADS CCR, Guillaume Alleon • ERICSSON, Jesús Renero • EUROPEAN MICROSOFT INNOVATION CENTER, Pierre-Yves Saintoyant • FUJITSU SIEMENS COMPUTERS, Bernd Kosch • HITACHI EUROPE SAS, Alessandro Bassi and Vincent Franceschini • IBM GRID COMPUTING, John Easton • LMS – NOESIS, Nick Tzannetakis • NOKIA RESEARCH CENTER, Anssi Karhinen • ORACLE, Monica Marinucci • SAMTECH - OPEN ENGINEERING, Igor Klapka • SAP RESEARCH CENTER, Daniel Scheibli • SUN MICROSYSTEMS, Philippe Trautmann European Research Network on Foundations, Software Infrastructures and Applications for large scale distributed, GRID and Peer-to-Peer Technologies

9. Interest in and Contibution to Standards • No direct work on standards in CoreGRID, however • Several Institutes have members/research groups active in different projects with links standards activities, e.g. • IPM, IGA, IPSET through the GridCOMP project • IRMS through participation in different GGF groups (e.g. GRAAP, OGSA-RSS, GSA • Participation in GSCG • Participation through GSCG in COPRAS activities European Research Network on Foundations, Software Infrastructures and Applications for large scale distributed, GRID and Peer-to-Peer Technologies
