  6. Focus 3 – Network-Centric Grid Operating Systems Research and development on new or enhanced fabrics layer for future distributed systems and services • Two alternative approaches: • Development, testing and validation of an enhanced fabrics based on existing OSs (Grid built-in functions or modules leading to a meta OS) • Research and conceptualization on new fabrics replacing existing OSs(Network-centric Grid Operating Systems) • Simplify the use, management and programmability of Grid systems and services, supporting mobility and pervasiveness, enhancing performance and security

  7. Focus 1 – Grid Foundations Architecture, design and development of technologies and systems for building the invisible Grid • Scale-independent, adaptive and dependable Grid architectures enabling the management of large networked distributed resources characterised by evolutionary, non-functional behaviours • Agent-based approaches and peer-to-peer technologies • Self-organising, fault-tolerant autonomous systems  virtualisation • New models and environments for programming the Grid • Semantic & agent technologies for resource brokering / management

  8. Focus 2 – Grid-enabled Applications and Services for Business and Society Research, development, validation, take-up of generic environments / tools • Grid-based environments for dynamic service creation and provision supporting distributed collaborations spanning multiple administrative domains • Grid business models and Grid economics • Intelligent tools and interfaces supporting ubiquitous Grid access • Grid-enabled decision support services

  9. Instruments • IPs – Focus 1, 2, 3 • To achieve ambitious scientific and technological objectives, integrating critical mass of activities and resources • Include industrial stakeholders from all relevant levels of the value chain • IPs – Focus 2 • User-driven • Generic technologies addressing common requirements across different disciplines and applications in business, e-science, and society • Include a technology take-up phase • Emphasise SME participation as technology providers, service providers, and end-users • STREPS • Longer term research issues • Conceptionalisation • Advanced Grid technologies in innovative applications

  10. Focus 4 – Horizontal Issues • Coordination of research activities within Europe (ERA) and beyond (international collaboration) • Preparing future research agenda and building research community • Creating EU-wide stakeholder initiatives supporting early and wide adoption • Actions supporting the collaboration of running and future IST Grid projects on horizontal and strategic issues

  11. Main Messages • Continuation and consolidation of main Grid research topics; new area: network-centric operating systems • Grids as enabler for Service Oriented Architectures • Industrial involvement along the value chain • Grid “Business Pilots” with cross-sectoral technology Take-Up phase call for central role of service providers • Increased contribution to global developments and standardisation
