2. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-III INFSO-RI-222667 Robust Scientific Communities for EGI (ROSCOE): –Foster robust scientific communities (SSCs) for EGI –Robust = independent, representative, inclusive, perennial –SSCs must play primary, direct role in EGI SSC provides: –Coordination within their communities for grid utilization –Liaison between its community and EGI/other projects (operations, middleware, support, …) –Services to broaden and deepen use of grid technology –Scientific gateway to provide information and specialized services to community ROSCOE ROSCOE — C. Loomis — 25 Sept. 2009 2

5. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-III INFSO-RI-222667 Organization Management –SSC leaders play a direct role in management Work packages –Currently also organized according to SSCs. Interactions with other projects –Take place largely on SSC level. –I.e SSC coordinators or representatives interact with other projects, there will not typically be a “ROSCOE” representative ROSCOE — C. Loomis — 25 Sept. 2009 5
