  1. EPSRC e-Science Meeting- Introduction Dr Jim Fleming APM, EPSRC e-Science Programme

  2. EPSRC e-Science Meeting- Introduction “The EPSRC e-Science Programme organises annual meetings to bring the funded EPSRC e-Science projects together; for the projects to learn more about each other (raise general awareness, build on existing links between projects, look for commonality and ways to leverage results to avoid repetition, and to share experience & knowledge of wider e-Science Grid issues) and to Learn more about the e-Science Programme and what support it could provide. demonstrate what results have been achieved to date”

  3. EPSRC e-Science Meeting- Introduction The meeting is NOT An evaluation meeting for EPSRC 6-monthly reports to do that The Meeting IS Networking opportunity for all EPSRC Pilot Projects A “self-evaluation” meeting in front of your peers Look to spread Best Practise Technical issues Management issues Presentational issues

  4. EPSRC e-Science Meeting- Introduction • Demos • Talks • Invited Speakers • Updates from Projects • “Surgeries” • Security Task Force • Usability Task Force • Project Managers Forum • Dinner

  5. EPSRC e-Science Meeting- Introduction Demos • Meeting is structured around the demo sessions • Mixture of • Break/Lunch sessions – all projects • Timetabled demos • Crammond/Swanston Rooms

  6. EPSRC e-Science Meeting- Introduction Talks • Two invited speakers; • Alistair Dunlop (Open Middleware Infrastructure Institute) • Jeff Kephardt, IBM US • Introductions from new Pilots (GOLD, IB) • 30 min Project Updates • Main Lecture Theatre

  7. EPSRC e-Science Meeting- Introduction Surgeries • Or rather, “Surgeries”…… • Security Task Force (today) • Security Policy • Usability Taskforce (tomorrow) • Advise on making Grid middleware “usable through the stack” • Dean Room

  8. EPSRC e-Science Meeting- Introduction Project Managers Forum • Look at Best Practise (“do’s and don’ts”) • Informal – no EPSRC • Lead by Tom Jackson & Sharon Lloyd • Dean Room (tomorrow)

  9. EPSRC e-Science Meeting- Introduction • Dinner • Carlton Hotel, North Bridge (few mins walk) • Buffet • Longer Breaks/lunch sessions • Demos & networking

  10. EPSRC e-Science Meeting- Introduction Computer Science for e-Science (tomorrow) Bring together with Pilot Projects Pilot Projects can inform on life at the coalface CS Projects can suggest where possible long-term solutions might come from 8 CS Talks – breadth CS Poster Sessions

  11. EPSRC e-Science Meeting- Introduction Thanks Everyone for coming Effort producing demos/posters etc NeSC for help organising (Lee, Gill, Mark et al)

  12. EPSRC e-Science Programme- Highlights of Pilots Dr Jim Fleming EPSRC e-Science Programme

  13. EPSRC e-Science Programme- Highlights of Pilots Some History…… 1st Call for Outlines launched Feb 2001 Closing date April 2001 Briefing Meeting for shortlisted projects May 2001 Decision made end July 2001 Projects start October 2001 – Feb 2002 Projects end ……… to Sept 2005

  14. Evaluation • Final report & “Theme Day” evaluation APM (from programmes) attached to each project All projects submit 6 monthly progress report (standard) Obliged to attend EPSRC e-Science meeting and AHM annually

  15. CombeChem collaboration between the statisticians and the chemists on design of experiments successful deployment of 'Bruno', the robot which is at the heart of the National Crystallography databases service, and the associated grid-enabling chemists working with another discipline very successfully work on Security JGF Chair of the UK e-Science User Group

  16. DAME DAME have successfully produced their mid-term demonstrator  well received by Rolls Royce Contribution to latest Foster & Kesselman (as have others) Involvement in White Rose Grid Experience of building & using “real” Grids

  17. Discovery Net SC2002 Prize (& SC2003)  won the HPC Challenge Award for Most Innovate Data-Intensive Application Range of applications (esp. Bioinformatics & Environmental monitoring) International Links

  18. Geodise Links to other projects & Core Programme Strong links to/interplay with industrial projects through SeSC Involvement in BBSRC/NERC projects XML Toolbox for Matlab (>300 downloads) other toolboxes

  19. myGrid International links Links to real use cases Highest profile “Biology” project? Large publication record Availability of myGrid s/w on www Interest from BBSRC/MRC bids

  20. Reality Grid Excellent 1st Annual Workshop Good multi site interactions SC2003 – TeraGyroid  won the HPC Challenge Award for Most Innovate Data-Intensive Application Highlighting Usability Issues (& “lightweight” Grids)

  21. Summary Very good progress to date Generally excellent links across disciplines across institutions across whole e-Science Programme GGF Industry (Generally) Good source of up-to-date material on www Key issues arise from how Projects complete
