  2. Background • The White Book of e-Science (http://www.fecyt.es/e-ciencia/libroblanco.htm) • E-Science activities in Spain: Astronomy and Space, Biomedicine, Material Engineering, Earth Science, Physics, Computational Chemistry, etc. • The National Research Network (RedIRIS) and the Connection to the European Network GEANT as the Basic Communication Infrastructure • IrisGrid and the Spanish Tematic Network in Grid Middleware • Participation of the Spanish Research Centres in Projects and Initiatives as EGEE, DEISA, EELA, LHC, the BSC-National Supercomputing Network, etc. • Need of a Global Coordination of all the Activities, Development of Common Tools and Easy Access to the Research Resources: To Promote the Creation of the Spanish e-Science Network.

  3. Objectives • To Promote and Coordinate the Development of the e-Science in Spain. • To Become the National Speaker for e-Science in the European framework. • To coordinatethe Spanish e-Infrastructures from the point of view of required investments, management, operation and user support. • To foster the Cooperation with other Programs and Projects. • To promote theCollaboration with Portugal (IberGrid) and other Countries in the e-Science Context. • To transfer the Network results, and to train people.

  4. Structure • Infrastructure and Middleware • Resource Centres • Provide resources • Computational, Storage, Networking, etc. • Agree a QoS for resources provision • Management Centres • Provide Core Resources • CA, Catalogue Services, Global Directory of Resources, etc. • Guarantee an appropriate QoS • Monitoring Resources and Infrastructure Service • Users and Applications • Organized in VOs • Creation and Usage of applications

  5. Physics and Engineering and Earth Science Space, Astronomy Applications Biomedicine New Applications Life Sciences Chemistry and Materials Science and Middleware and Grid Middleware and Supercom. Services Services Middleware Common Middleware Communication Networks Grid Infra. Other Logic and Scientific Resources Infrastructure Data and Metadata Storage Supercompu. Infrastructure Scientific Visualization Workstat . / Clusters e-Science Components

  6. Organization • The Coordination is Needed at Four Levels: • Human Network. • Infrastructure Operation. • Applications Development and Deployment. • New Middleware Developments. • This Model is Reinforced with the Integration Activities, the Dissemination Activities and the Quality Plan.

  7. Organization Model

  8. Global Coordination • Committees and Rules for Participating. • Start-up and Maintenance of Collaborative Tools (Web, Wiki, Document Repositories, etc.). • Definition of a Quality Plan. • Representation of the Network.

  9. Coordination of Infrastructure • Resource Centres: • Agreement on Common Policies: • Security Models, Interfaces for Acceding the Resources, Quality of Service, etc. • Management Centres: • Agreement with the Resources Centres for the Deployment of Common Services: • Global Management, Certification, Resource Monitoring, Accounting System, etc.

  10. Coordination of Middleware • Improvement and Development of Components in Coordination with Applications • Evolve Middleware according to the requirements of the Applications • Establish a Quality Assurance plan for Middleware • New Components must Follows a Process of Test, Validation, Certification and Integration. • Representation in Technical Forums, Standardization Committees and Projects • Management of a Middleware Development Platform

  11. Coordination of Applications • Application Areas Organized in VOs, Coordinating the Development and Deployment of Applications. • Coordination among the Different Application Areas for Resource Negotiation. • Feedback the Infrastructure and Middleware Areas.

  12. Integration Activities • Integration: • Consolidation in the Infrastructure of the Middleware Components. • Training: • Preparation of Training Material and Courses for Users and Developers. • Setup and Maintenance of a Testbed Infrastructure for Training Purposes. • Dissemination: • Attract new Users, Members and Applications. • Connection with Industry. • Transference of Knowledge, Best Practices and Tools. • Quality Plan: • Establish plans for the integration of new communities and users. • Metrics Definition. • Monitoring of Results.

  13. Committees (I) • Coordination Committee • Components • Scientific Coordinator of the Network • Coordinators of the e-Science Areas • Governmental Representatives MEC (DGPT-DGI) • Tasks • Analyze the requirements of e-Science Areas and ensure interactivity among them • Define Quality plans, Technology Transfer plans, etc.

  14. Committees (II) • e-Science Areas Committees • Components (each area) • Coordinator • Deputy Coordinator • Experts in the specific Area • Areas • Applications • Identify and migrate applications and incorporate new users • Manage VOs • Middleware • Analyze Requirements of the Applications • Coordinate middleware developments • Supercomputing Infrastructure • Coordinate supercomputing resource centres • Support optimization and parallelization tasks • Grid Infrastructure • Deploy and monitorize resources, and Incorporate new centres • Technical support for enabling applications for Grid.

  15. Global Coordination • Structure:

  16. Spanish e-Science Network • Complementary Action Proposal to the MEC-DGPT Convocatory • Call for letters of expression of interest to participate in a given activity of the proposal, including a description of expertise. • A letter template will be distributed through the IrisGrid and Grid Middleware lists • Budget limited to Coordination purposes
