OGF eScience Function

Join us at the OGF Workshop on eScience to work with researchers, developers, and users in enabling discovery, collaboration, and education in a Grid/cyber-infrastructure environment. Explore four major types of eScience activities, including group activities, community programs, software development track, and more.

  2. OGF is Standards and Communities eScience Community Function Charter:Work with scientific, engineering and education researchers, developers and users to enable discovery, collaboration, education/training in an interoperable Grid/cyber-infrastructure environment 2

  3. Four major types of eScience Activities • Group activities such as those in GIN (Interoperability) • Groups perform long term activities in focused areas • Typically does not get much high level visibility except for GIN • Note two new groups in Education and Reliability • Typically one or more distinct 90 minute sessions • Timely community activities arranged in the three-five months before meeting and including panels, tutorials and short workshops • Current submissions to community program • Typically one or two 90 minute sessions per submission • Long lead time single track workshops with invited and contributed presentations in topics of broad interest to OGF. • Typically 4 or 5 90 minute sessions • Refereeing similar to high quality conferences • Software Development Track starting at OGF19 • Total 8-11 90 minute sessions at OGF19 3

  4. Software Development Sessions Users Grid Projects • Grids are built from services which hopefully respect standards • However there are several building blocks or subsystems like Globus or SRB which are used in many Grid projects • TeraGrid EGEE Geon LEAD MyGrid China National Grid Naregi are Grid Projects • Form initially at least de facto standards • OGF will offer “user group” sessions in “Grid Subsystems” in a set of consecutive sessions aimed at those building Grids and not at people using Grids • OGF can provide one-stop shopping so don’t need to attend XYZweek for all XYZ Grid Subsystems Grid Services 4

  5. OGF19 Software Development Track • We have invited (so far 3 acceptances) in alphabetical order • Condor Scheduling system • Globus core Grid infrastructure • Grid-Shib Grid security • GridSphere portlet container for portals • NWS and BQP Network/Queuing Tools (Rich Wolski) • OGCE Open Grid Computing Environments collection of portlets (for Science Gateways) • OMII core Grid infrastructure • SRB data Grid infrastructure • Unicore core Grid infrastructure • Will repeat at OGF20 (UK) but less time available Less widely adopted software could be showcased in community program 5

  6. Current Workshop Topics • Federated Identity at OGF19 organized by Ken Klingenstein and Satoshi Matsuoka • Semantic Web 2.0 at OGF19 organized by Dave de Roure • Probably CommercialWeb 2.0 at OGF20 organized by Charlie Catlett • Preferred organization of one –day workshops • Invited and Contributed Talks • Panel aimed at summarizing topic as relevant to Grids or Grid technology • After meeting one would • Post presentations • Convert panel discussion into a “review” “synopsis” or “BKM (Best Known Methods)” for area covered • Possibly arrange for scholarly publication for follow-up papers 6

  7. eScience Group Activities 7

  8. Community Program Users Grid Projects • Community oriented activities with relatively light weight approval process with call 3-5 months before meeting and decisions 2-3 months before • Joint between Enterprise and eScience • Exploratory (Birds of a Feather) sessions that could leads to groups or full one-day workshops • Tutorials but not well done in OGF as no thoughtful coordination and don’t easily attract Grid users (as opposed to Grid builders) • Need to establish a track with a uniform audience like we have for software development • Small workshops often led by groups such as OGF19 Grid Reliability and Robustness 2 session workshop Grid Subsystems Grid Services 8

  9. eScience Management • Note core OGF community is 50 commercial and 100 research/education/government (latter include standards) so don’t need too much organization • eScience function is streamlining it’s management and current suggestion is • VP and 2 AD’s • Large group of advisers for suggesting people and topics but no responsibilities • Major role of eScience VP/AD’s is leading projects such as supporting events and organizing new activities like software development track • OGFxx Event PC Chair is modest time scale (1 year) project • Note “reviews/summaries” produced by one-day workshops viewed as helping to snapshot current Grid status need significant leadership as well 9
