  1. SEE-GRIDExpanding the eInfrastructure inclusion into South-East Europe! Prof. Vasilis Maglaris GRNET - Greek Research & Technology Network maglaris@grnet.gr, http://www.grnet.gr Dublin, April 2004

  2. SEE-GRID: Expanding the eInfrastructure inclusion into South-East Europe! Assist in the creation of Grid awareness in the SE European states by linking National initiatives to the pan-European and worldwide Grid efforts Enable smaller, less-resourced sites to access computing power & to participate in Networking & Training activities Ease the digital divide and release the scientific & productive talents of the SEE region Establish a paradigm for inclusion of non-beneficiaries of EGEE into the extended ERA Key elements: The participation of CERN and EGEE SE-Federation Members - the MoU between EGEE & SEE-GRID www.see-grid.org

  4. Project Administrative Snapshot Project name:South Eastern European Grid-enabled eInfrastructure Development Project Acronym: SEE-GRID Call Identifier: FP6-2002-Infrastructures-2 Contract No.: FP6-RI-002356 Project type: Specific Support Action (SSA) Start date: 01/05/2004 Duration: 24 months Total Budget: 1,215,000 Є Funding from the EC:972,000 Є Total Effort: 389 person-months Project web-site:www.see-grid.org

  5. Project Members Key words: • Human network • South-East Europe • Grid eInfrastructure Contractors • GRNET (Co-ord.) Greece • CERN Switzerland • CLPP-BAS Bulgaria • ICI Romania • TUBITAK Turkey • SZTAKI Hungary • INIMA Albania • BIHARNET Bosnia-Herzegovina • UKIM FYROM • UOB Serbia-Montenegro • RBI Croatia Third Parties • 18 universities and research institutes

  6. Scientific/Application Areas GRIDs IPv6 GÉANT + SEEREN Communication Network Foundation: SEEREN

  7. SEEGRID Technical Objectives • Migrate and test Grid middleware components and APIs developed by pan-European and national Grid efforts in the regional infrastructure. • Deploy (adapt if necessary) and test Grid applications developed by EGEE (Large Hadron Collider Computing Grid, Biomedical Grids) in the regional infrastructure. • Demonstrate an additional Grid application of regional interest (e.g. earthquake prediction, meteorology/climate). • Integrate available pilot Resource Centers of Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, FYR of Macedonia, Serbia-Montenegro and Turkey into the EGEE-compatible infrastructure. • Expand the operations and support center of the EGEE SE Europe Federation to cater for the operations in the above countries. • Establish and operate a Regional “Catch-all” Certification Authority (CA) SEEGRID is part of the EUGrid PMA as a “relying party”

  8. Creation of Awareness Objectives • Create a human network in the area of Grids, eScience and eInfrastructures in SE Europe and promote awareness in the region regarding Grid developments. • Integrate incubating and existing National Grid infrastructures in all SEE-GRID countries. This will be accomplised by building upon and exploiting the infrastructure provided by GEANT and SEEREN in the region. • Establish a dialogue at the level of policy developments for national grid initiatives and provide input to the agenda of national governments and funding bodies • Pursue dissemination conferences, training material and demonstrations for hands-on experience, in coordination with EGEE, which will promote the project results to the private and public sector, ultimately reaching the general public.

  9. Memorandum of Understanding • Migrate and test Grid middleware components and APIs developed by pan-European Grid efforts (e.g. EGEE, etc) in the regional infrastructure - SEE-GRID WP3 / EGEE SA1 • Migrate (adapt if necessary) and test Grid applications developed by EGEE (Large Hadron Collider Computing Grid, Biomedical Grids) in the regional infrastructure - SEE-GRID WP3 / EGEE NA4. • Integrate available pilot Resource Centers of Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, FYRoM, Serbia-Montenegro and Turkey into the EGEE infrastructure. Expand the operations and support center of the EGEE SE Europe Federation” • Promote awareness in the region regarding Grid developments through dissemination conferences, training material and demonstrations for hands-on experience, in coordination with EGEE, which will promote the project results to the private and public sector, ultimately reaching the general public.

  10. Milestones (end results) • Project management information system established (M1) • Questionnaire online publishing mechanism (M2) • Identified user communities (M2) • Promotional package available (M3) • NGIs requirements collected and analysed (M6) • Start operations and support center (M13) • First migration of Grid applications (M14) • First adaptation of middleware components, APIs and application development environment (M18) • Demonstration labs (M21) • Final migration of Grid applications (M22) • Final migration of middleware components and APIs (M24) • Demonstration of applications (M24) • SEE-GRID conference proceedings (M24)

  11. Project kick-off • Project official start date May 1st, 2004 • PSC-01 - kick-off meeting May 17th, 2004, Athens, Greece (with WCIT) • PSC-02 June 6th, 2004, Rhodes, Greece (with TNC2004) • Training-01 Opatija, Croatia, 24-28 May • Training-02 Naples, Italy, 18-30 July (Grid School)
