According to ISO/IEC 2382-01 (Information Technology Vocabulary, Fundamental Terms), interoperability is "The capability to communicate, execute programs, or transfer data among various functional units in a manner that requires the user to have little or no knowledge of the unique characteristics of those units“ • In engineering, interoperation is the setup of ad hoc components and methods to make two or more systems work together as a combined system Interoperability and interoperation(source: Wikipedia) Adoption of standardsis key Big Data, Big Network Workshop - 10 October 2013
A scientist can seamlessly run applications on HPC machines, Grids and Clouds based on different middleware • ( to demonstrate interoperability use case #1) • The cloud tenantof a real or virtual organisation can seamlessly and easily manage Cloud resources pledged by providers owning infrastructures based on different Cloud middleware stacks • ( to demonstrate interoperation use case #2 ) Vision Big Data, Big Network Workshop - 10 October 2013

Auser can sign in on a Science Gateway using his/her federated credentials, select an application from a menu and seamlessly execute it on HPC machines, Grids and Clouds • The fractions of executions on the three different platforms can be adjusted to simulate the need to “boost” the resources in case of temporary peaks of activity Use case #1 (scientist) Big Data, Big Network Workshop - 10 October 2013

Science Gateways in Latin America: the GISELA Science Gateway (http://gisela-gw.ct.infn.it) Big Data, Big Network Workshop - 10 October 2013
As part of the SCALAC model, the GISELA SG has been re-installed and updated at UNAM (Mexico) and named SCALAC SG • The SCALAC SG is in progress to be relocated at: https://sgw.scalac.redclara.net • As part of the SCALAC commitments, CUDI (the Mexican NREN) is financing two pilot projects for new services: access to HPC and to Cloud infrastructures via the SCALAC Science Gateway • The SCALAC Science Gateway will be operational by the end of 2013 • The SCALAC SG will be connected to the “Identity Provider of the Mexican Advanced Computing Services for e-Science” and to all other IdPsbeing established in Latin America in the context of the ELCIRA project El Servicio de Computación Avanzada América Latina y el Caribe https://comunidades.redclara.net/wiki/scalac/index.php/SCALAC
Standard-basedinteroperabilityshould be enablednotonlyacrossmiddlewarebutalso and more importantlyacrosscomputingparadigms (Grid, HPC, Cloud, local clusters, desktops, etc.) in order to exploit big networks asmuchaspossible • Catania Science Gatewayssuccessfully bridge e-Infrastructuresdevelopedaccording to differentmodelsarchitectures and maketheminteroperableatuserapplicationlevelthanks to standard adoption (SAGA, SAML, OCCI, CDMI, JSR286, etc.) • The MyCloud service allowsseamless multi-cloud service operationacrossdifferent OCCI-compliantmiddlewarestacks on manysitesworldwide • Nextsteps are: • Creation of the sharedstorageinfrastructure to supportstatefulVMs • AllowdeployedVMs to «findthemselves» in MyCloud • Fostering the deployment of cloudinfrastructures in the regionsaddressed by CHAIN-REDS to widen the testbedboth in size and geographiccoverage • Promotion of the EGI FedCloud model and possibleextension of itsinfrastructure to otherregions in order to support global VRCs Summary and outlook Big Data, Big Network Workshop - 10 October 2013
