Sustainability: Beyond EGEE-II

• Need to prepare for permanent Grid infrastructure– Maintain Europe’s leading position in global science Grids– Ensure a reliable and adaptive support for all sciences– Independent of project funding cycles– Modelled on success of GÉANT

Infrastructure managed in collaboration with national grid initiatives

Summary

• EGEE Infrastructure – world’s largest multi-science production grid service

• EGEE-II is the opportunity to expand on this existing base both in terms of scale and usage

• Use this transition meeting as the occasion to meet your fellow partners and clarify any grey areas in the programme of work

• Need to prepare the long-term– 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 Cross-Activities Groups• Security

– MWSG Consistent usage of security framework in m/w Coordination with related projects

– JSPG Operational security issues Coordination with related projects

– Vulnerability Gruop– Security head (Ake Edlund) is part of the PEB

• VO Support– OAG

Resource allocation to VOs– UIG

Organization of EGEE documentation– VO Managers Group – NEW!

Link between the project and VOs• Industry Relations

– Industry Forum– Industry Task Force – NEW!

• Technical Coordination – TCG – NEW!– See later



EGEE-II Program of Work

• Formally defined in DoW: https://edms.cern.ch/document/684101/ • Defines 51 deliverables and 89 milestones

– Deliverables have hard deadlines – any slip needs to be communicated to EU well in advance

– Contain quarterly and periodic (1 year) reports (QR and PR)– Will be reviewed internally to assure they are of high quality– EU will evaluate us against deliverables; achievement of milestones

needs to be reported to EU in quarterly reports

• Plan enough time to prepare these documents and allow for activity internal review

• Details can also be found at http://egee-jra2.web.cern.ch/EGEE-JRA2/EGEE-II/Deliverables/DeliverablesScope.htm



Highlights of EGEE-II

• Increased Application Support (NA4)• Revamped Industry Forum and Industrial Task Force

(NA2)• Multi-platform support and Interoperability (SA3)• Streamlined integration and testing (SA3)• Unified middleware release – gLite 3.x• More visibility at high profile events like

supercomputing (NA2)• Focus on reliability, deployability, security (JRA1)• Related projects provide

– Expansion of infrastructure– Application support– Integration and Test facilities– Extension of training towards more generic Grid education



EGEE-II Technical Coordination

• 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 SA1, SA2, SA3, NA4, and JRA1– 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



Summary

• 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
