Lite 3. x • More visibility at high profile events like supercomputing (NA 2) • Focus on reliability, deployability, security (JRA 1) • Related projects provide – – Expansion of infrastructure Application support Integration and Test facilities Extension of training towards more generic Grid education EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688
EGEE-II Technical Coordination Enabling Grids for E-scienc. E • The EGEE-II proposal defines a Technical Coordination Group (TCG): The TCG brings together the technical activities within the project in order to ensure the oversight and coordination of the technical direction of the project, and to ensure that the technical work progresses according to plan. • Basically coordinating the work of SA 1, SA 2, SA 3, NA 4, and JRA 1 – Membership from all these activities but still remain a “small” team – Additional experts will join based on the topic of discussion – Working groups will be spawn off to solve specific problems • Focus on practical short term solutions – Long term projects will be sourced out to middleware providers • The group defines the technical direction of EGEE – Not just a discussion forum! – Decisions taken by the group must be honoured by the affected activities EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688
Summary Enabling Grids for E-scienc. E • EGEE has a demanding program of work – Can build on a solid basis – EGEE-II is really a continuation project, not a new one • Make sure all partners collaborate in your activities – Execution plan and define partner responsibilities – Partner metrics will be introduced • EGEE continues to be the flagship Grid infrastructure project of EU – This brings a number of responsibilities § Concertation, standardization, interoperability with related projects etc. § Make sure this effort is part of your plans • Success of EGEE will be decisive for long-term sustainability of Grid infrastructures – EGEE, related projects, national grid initiatives and user communities are working to define a model for a sustainable grid infrastructure that is independent of project cycles EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688
