Concluding RemarksCurrent and Future Plans Alberto Di Meglio (CERN) ETICS Final Review CERN, Geneva - 15 February 2008
Current Status • The ETICS Services are currently run on a best-effort basis by all partners • Support is given to the most active projects (EGEE, DILIGENT and OMII-Europe) • Effort is in particular spent into training some users within those projects to provide themselves first-level support to their community • All partners have shown great commitment to keeping the services running as efficiently as possible after the official conclusion of the ETICS project ETICS Final Review - Concluding Remarks - CERN, 15 February 2008
ETICS 2 • A proposal for a continuation of ETICS has been submitted to the FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES-2007-2 call • The proposal has been evaluated very well (14/15 points) and is now in the final negotiation phase • If approved, ETICS 2 will start on March 1st • The major goals of the ETICS 2 project are: • To extend the ETICS services to new infrastructures and middleware types (EGEE/gLite, DEISA/Unicore, the Aerospace Engineering community/ESA, D4Science to start with) • To add support for new most-wanted technologies, like integrated virtualization, release management and test design tools • To provide a full implementation of the Grid-QCM model and propose it for certification as ISO standard ETICS Final Review - Concluding Remarks - CERN, 15 February 2008
ETICS and EGI • The ETICS Build and Test System has been proposed for inclusion as a function in the future EGI • The ETICS system has been discussed at a recent workshop of the EGI_DS project to define the future EGI functions and has been met with very favourable comments, especially its role in driving the interoperability between different middleware stacks ETICS Final Review - Concluding Remarks - CERN, 15 February 2008
