  2. Thank you • To large group who helped define the agenda • Might seem straight-forward! • To Peter for co-leading • To NeSC for hosting, publicising and coordinating • To Core Programme for dinner • To Peter Couvares and Condor Team for their interest/participation • To all the speakers – relatively short notice • To you for attending - and the contributions you will make Looking forward to the next two days… 2

  3. Framework & SR2004 • Funding • SR2004, SR2006 • fEC Extract from Science & innovation investment framework 2004 - 2014 • 2.25 The Government will therefore work with interested funders and stakeholders to consider the national e-infrastructure (hardware, networks, communications technology) necessary to deliver an effective system. • Due to the potential importance of a national e-infrastructure to the needs of the research base and its supporting infrastructure in meeting the Government’s broader science and innovation goals, as a first step OST will take a lead in taking forward discussion and development of proposals for action and funding, drawing in other funders and stakeholders as necessary. • OST e-Infrastructure Group formed for SR2006 3

  4. SR2004 and the Core Programme: Towards a Persistent e-Infrastructure Tony Hey 4

  5. e-Infrastructure Components • Activity: National Grid Service and Operational Support • Deployed National Grid Service (NGS) and established Grid Operation Support Centre (GOSC) • Need to extend funding for this activity beyond present 2 years • CP should provide funding for hardware renewal: JISC should fund support services • Scale of funding required £8m 5

  6. Personal View • CampusGrids are where e-Science meets University • Essential component of University Computing Services… • as is e-Infrastructure in general • Reach point where will be asked why we are not running CampusGrid? • But precisely what a CampusGrid actually is, and the best way to provide the service needs: • refinement of ideas • technology development • costs analyses • security clarification • development of best practice 6

  7. Campus Grid Workshop at NeSC • Advertised on NeSc web site.. http://www.nesc.ac.uk/esi/events/556/ “Meeting to explore the use of CampusGrids and to inform sites how to set up such CampusGrids for the first time. The aims of the meeting are: to find out which centres are working in this area, the technologies that are being used, what might be done to share best practice, to look for commonality where appropriate, to help new sites create their own Campusgrids, and to consider how the centres may be interconnected to each other and to the UK National Grid Service The target audience will be mainly computing service departments and e-Scientists directly involved in the development and operation of CampusGrids” 7

  8. Thursday objectives - Overview of existing CampusGrid activities, determine best practice, understand security issues, explore full economic costing, outline challenges in setting up a CampusGrid, discuss how to connect with the National Grid Service, and review general methods for federation of resources. 8

  9. Thursday 16 June 10.30 Coffee 11.00 Introduction, aims, deliverables Paul Jeffreys 11.15 Overview of Condor and Globus John Wakelin 12.00 Review of how to deal with Firewalls within a CampusGrid environment Bruce Beckles 12.30 Deploying Grids on Campus Networks Andrew Cormack 13.00 Lunch 14.00 Local Security issues Bruce Beckles 14.30 Full Economic Costing on CampusGrids Rhys Newman 15.00 Federation of Resources and building more Complex Grids Steve Newhouse 15.45 Tea 16.00 How to Connect CampusGrids to NGS Neil Geddes 16.30 Panel Discussion, overview of CampusGrid activities across UK, Q&A Facilitated by Peter Clarke 19.00 Dinner funded by Core Programme Set of questions for discussion over dinner: What is the broad consensus on the definition of a CampusGrid? How different is a CampusGrid from a Condor Pool? What are the next steps to realise the vision of full CampusGrids? 9

  10. Friday objectives - Overview issues relating to sharing data within a CampusGrid environment, find consensus on what defines a CampusGrid (as preparation for the BOF at the All Hands Meeting); and review exciting new technologies which have potential for a second generation of CampusGrids. 10
