Grid-enabling the Australian Synchrotron 24 February 2005
Project Program • Phase 1 (to end January 2005) • Specification of grid requirements • Consultations with scientists • Preparation of discussion paper • Phase 2 (to end February 2005) • Circulation of discussion paper • Consolidation of comments and research • Preparation of draft project proposal • Phase 3 (to end March 2005) • Circulate draft project proposal (by 11 March 2005) • Consult with key stakeholders • Conduct forum with key scientists and stakeholders • Prepare final project report (by 25 March 2005)
Key Issues • Data security • Data management • Data linking • Data manipulation and visualisation • Security, authentication, audit trails • Telepresence • Remote operations • Production class facilities • Virtual organisation management
Responses to Discussion Paper • Generally supportive of discussion paper context • Reinforced data security as key issue • Reinforced the need to link related data (experiment, beamline, etc) • Noted not many examples worldwide, although similar to Diamond • Network security and reliability issues are important • Remote access and telepresence are key facilitating needs
Project Scope • National Data Structure • primary, backup, archive • Regional nodes as ‘virtual instruments’ • Secure Data Network • Data Grid • Semantic Grid

Data and Semantic Grid Development • Coordinated research and development programme • Integration with international activities • Involvement of formal and informal networks of scientists • Phased approach: • Phase1: Quick runs using available technologies with key metadata to facilitate later stages • Phase 2: Provide support tools and services for data management • Phase 3: Develop technologies/techniques for semantic grid.
Project Costs • Data Centre - Capital: $5M, Operating: $2M/a • Regional ‘virtual’ nodes: (each) Capital: $0.5M, Operating $0.3m/a • Data Grid and Semantic Grid Research and Development: $3M • Network and other costs: $1M • excludes building costs
Operational Structure • Formal project management structure and processes • Formalise operational management of data
