Plans for the second year and the longer term Bob Jones – Project Director - CERN EGEE-II 1st EU Review (CERN) 15-16 May 2007
Contents • Plans for the second year of EGEE-II • The European Grid Initiative • EGEE-III • Related projects and letters of support • ESFRI & EGEE-II Project Status - Bob Jones - EGEE-II 1st EU Review - 15-16 May 2007
Plans for the second year of EGEE-II • Continued improvements: • reliability, fault-tolerance, deployability, usability • Expand on the concept federation-based, partner Activity reviews • Maintenance and further development of the gLite distribution • Allocation of resources, in particular to new VOs • Improvement of availability of good documentation • Changes in activity management: • NA2: Hannelore Hammerle; New activity manager: Sarah Purcell • Accelerate the planning for a sustainable grid infrastructure Project Status - Bob Jones - EGEE-II 1st EU Review - 15-16 May 2007
European Grid Initiative • Need to prepare permanent, common Grid infrastructure • Ensure the long-term sustainability of the European e-infrastructure independent of short project funding cycles • Coordinate the integration and interaction between National Grid Infrastructures (NGIs) • Operate the European level of the production Grid infrastructure for a wide range of scientific disciplines to link NGIs Project Status - Bob Jones - EGEE-II 1st EU Review - 15-16 May 2007
European Grid Initiative • Federated model bringing together NGIs to build a European organisation • Main goal: to coordinate the operation of a common multi-national, multi-disciplinary Grid infrastructure • Enables and supports international Grid-based Collaboration • Provides support and adds value to NGIs • Liaises with corresponding infrastructures outside • Europe • Responsibilities between NGIs and EGI are split to be federated and complimentary • Design study submitted in EC call on 2nd May 2007 • FP7-Infrastructures-2007-1-1.2.1 Design Studies Project Status - Bob Jones - EGEE-II 1st EU Review - 15-16 May 2007
National grid Initiatives (NGIs) • Each NGI • should be a recognized national body with a single point-of-contact • should mobilise national funding and resources • should operate the national e-Infrastructure • should support user communities (application independent, and open to new user communities and resource providers) • should contribute and adhere to international standards and policies • The proposed third phase of EGEE (EGEE-III) will provide the input and act as stepping stone to this model Project Status - Bob Jones - EGEE-II 1st EU Review - 15-16 May 2007
EGEE-III vision and mission • Intention is to submit a proposal for the 3rd phase of EGEE project to the European Commission in September 2007 • To run from spring 2008 to spring 2010 • The main vision of EGEE-III is to make a strong move towards a sustainable world-wide production quality Grid infrastructure by appropriate technical and organisational decisions. • This must be capable of providing services to a rapidly increasing number of application areas, and make Grid technology easily accessible and usable for these communities.

EGEE and ESFRI • Role of ESFRI: • bring projects to a point where decisions by ministers are possible • discussions and decisions at national level in particular as regards the lead role one country or several countries • development of national roadmaps • earmarking of dedicated national budgets for the construction of Research Infrastructures with a European/international dimension Project Status - Bob Jones - EGEE-II 1st EU Review - 15-16 May 2007

Summary • The requirement for a computing Grid infrastructure for e-Science is clearly demonstrated • EGEE-II’s Programme of Work is being followed as planned • Issues have arisen and solving them represents the focus for year 2 • The future depends on a number of collaborating projects, the success of EGI and thorough preparation of EGEE-III Project Status - Bob Jones - EGEE-II 1st EU Review - 15-16 May 2007
