  1. EMI Roadmap to Standardization and DCI Collaborations Alberto Di Meglio (CERN) Project Director

  2. Outline • EMI Vision and Objectives • Standardization • DCI Collaborations • Conclusions DCI Workshop

  3. Outline • EMI Vision and Objectives • Standardization • DCI Collaborations • Conclusions DCI Workshop

  4. EMI Mission Statement The European Middleware Initiative (EMI) project represents a close collaboration of the major European middleware providers - ARC, gLite, UNICORE and dCache - to establish a sustainable model to support, harmonise and evolve the grid middleware for deployment in EGI, PRACE and other distributed e-Infrastructures DCI Workshop

  5. A European Vision Tomorrow Sustainability Persistence Interoperability Easier Access Today DCI Workshop

  6. Partners (26) DCI Workshop

  7. Primary Objectives Consolidate Consolidate the existing middleware distribution simplifying services and components to make them more sustainable (including use of off-the-shelf and commercial components whenever possible) Evolve the middleware services/functionality following the requirement of infrastructure and communities, mainly focusing on operational, standardization and interoperability aspects Reactively and proactively maintain the middleware distribution to keep it in line with the growing infrastructure usage Evolve Support DCI Workshop

  8. Outline • EMI Vision and Objectives • Standardization • DCI Collaborations • Conclusions DCI Workshop

  9. Standardization • Very important to address a number of existing limitations • Interoperability, integration, extensibility and evolution, commercial usage • All services must: • Implement the ‘best’ relevant standards • Implement them in the same way • ‘Best’ means: • A ‘community’ standard, if it is useful, usable or can be realistically improved • A ‘de facto’ standard, if no community standard exists or what exists is clearly not usable DCI Workshop

  10. Standardization • EMI intends to be an active player in the standardization process • Actively take part in the European standardization roadmap coordinated by the European Commission and by initiatives like SIENA • Actively take part in established international standardization bodies like OGF • Dedicated standardization task in the JRA1 WP DCI Workshop

  11. Interoperability • One of the major requirements of most user communities • Interoperability between different implementations of the same services or functionality • Interoperability among HTC and HPC • Interoperability between different infrastructures • Also in this case, the widespread and formally correct adoption of standards is of primary importance DCI Workshop

  12. Integration with New Technologies • Technology evolves continually • Distributed computing middleware must be able to capitalize on past achievements, but also learn from past lessons and become increasingly efficient and flexible • Using labels like Grids or Clouds is misleading • How can existing stable, reliable and secure services be made more elastic, dynamic, efficient? • And again, standards are very important DCI Workshop

  13. Standardization Areas User Interfaces, portlets APIs Service Monitoring and Management Compute, Data, Accounting, Information Services Messaging Security Resource Access and Management DCI Workshop

  14. Outline • EMI Vision and Objectives • Standardization • DCI and other Collaborations • Conclusions DCI Workshop

  15. Collaborations EGI, PRACE, WLCG,OSG SLAs & Support Requirements Releases EMI Industry ESFRI, VRCs Collaborations Collaborations Shared initiatives Stratuslab VENUS-C EDGI SIENA IGE DCI Workshop

  16. DCI Relationships • EGI-InSPIRE: requirements, commitment to promote and deploy standards-based services • VENUS-C, StratusLab: integration of new resource management technology, dynamic service management models • IGE: implementation/validation of standards and interoperability • EDGI: implementation/validation of and interoperability DCI Workshop

  17. Industrial Relationships • The sustainability process relies on increased adoption by commercial companies • EMI has an ‘industrial plan’ made of two important points: • Work with commercial partners to transfer and integrate technology in both directions • Understand with commercial experts what is the market, the realistic targets and the sustainable business models DCI Workshop

  18. Conclusions • EMI is very committed to be an active player in the standardization roadmap • It brings together for the first time the expertise of the major European middleware providers • Everybody is welcome to collaborate DCI Workshop

  19. Thank you EMI is partially funded by the European Commission under Grant Agreement INFSO-RI-261611 DCI Workshop
