  1. UK eScience Meeting January 2004 Global Grid Forum Promoting and Standardizing Grid Computing

  2. As industry adoption of grid computing accelerates, GGF must rise to a new level of leadership Improve communication Increase collaboration with other areas of the ecosystem GGF Accelerate decision making & standards development Continue to foster an international grid community Refine our mission and objectives

  3. To determine our leadership strategy, the GFSG embarked on an intensive 10 week process to understand stakeholder requirements and GGF future directions Workstreams / Activities Oct-22 Oct-29 Nov-5 Nov-12 Nov-19 Nov-26 Dec-3 Dec-10 Dec-17 Dec-24 • Current State Assessment • Interview Stakeholders • Understand Existing GGF Strategy • Understand Stakeholder Landscape • Vision/Mission & Value Proposition Definition • Analyze other Standards Organizations • Understand Grid Ecosystem • Define and Validate GGF Strategic Direction • Operating and Governance Model Definition • Assess Current GGF Operating Model • Identify Opportunities and Gaps • Define To-Be Operating Model • Implementation Plan Development January 2005 3 day GFSG f2f Discuss & Decide on changes Validation Sessions Holiday Operating model Workshop (Face-to-Face)2 Mission / Objectives Workshop (Face-to-Face)1 Validation Sessions • Approximately 20 members of the GFSG and GFAC met with the external consulting team at SC2004 for a day long workshop • Mark Linesch, Charlie Catlett, Bill Nitzberg, Steve Crumb and David Martin met with the external consulting team to discuss alternatives and develop a proposed operating model

  4. An analysis of the external environment highlighted the complex ecosystem associated with GGF GGF Ecosystem Grid Installs Media Other Standards Orgs Academia Researchers Government Commercial Vendor Industry Users Other Consortia Japan Grid HPC Users e.g.: Pharma Computer Science Research Labs Government Labs Software /Hardware Vendors Grid Publications Globus SNIA Korean Grid IETF Applied Science Economic Development Programs Industry Solution Providers SOA Apps e.g. Transactions Industry / Technology Publications Internet2 European Grid OASIS Academic Labs Communications Vendors Analyst Publications Other Consortia TerraGrid W3C Government Funding Programs Service Providers National Publications Other Grid Efforts DMTF Online Publications / Bloggers Partners Researchers Present / Future Users KEY HPC = High Performance Computing SOA = Services Oriented Architecture

  5. Interviews indicated that GGF must evolve to meet the changing needs of stakeholders as grid technology matures Overall Findings • The vast majority of stakeholders view GGF as the critical focal point for grid technology, and believe it has the potential for widespread influence • Despite its recognized potential, GGF needs to more clearly define its mission and communicate more effectively internally and externally • GGF’s is also challenged to define its role in a complex ecosystem that includes diverse stakeholders • Effective partnerships with research and industry along with standards, software and consortia organizations are required. • Finally, the current GGF operating model and processes need evolutionary improvement in order to meet these challenges Note: Based on average interview responses from 38 interviewees across GGF stakeholder groups

  6. Standards Community Operations Stakeholder requirements led to the refinement of the GGF mission Leading the pervasive adoption of grid computing for research and industry Defining grid specifications that lead to broadly adopted standards and interoperable software Building a broad international community for the exchange of ideas, experiences, requirements, and best practices Ensuring ongoing support of our mission and communication of our progress

  7. Each function must have defined metrics that can be used to measure GGF’s effectiveness in meeting its mission and objectives Primary GGF Metrics Community Community Satisfaction % Active Community Participation Community Growth Stakeholder Value Standards Defined Standards # of Reference Implementations Community Satisfaction GGF Standards Adoption vs. Alternatives Deliverables / Working Group Age Adoption of Grid Standards Operations Event Attendance E/R Positive Press References Sponsorship Growth Key Metric Category Metric Priority Metric

  8. Objectives & Measures - Standards Objectives Measures Draft
