3. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI-508833 Dieter Kranzlmüller, Plans & Future 3 Beyond: Toward EGEE-II EGEE-II proposal submitted to the EU –On 8 September 2005 –Proposed start 1 April 2006 Natural continuation of EGEE –Emphasis on providing an infrastructure for e-Science  increased support for applications  increased multidisciplinary Grid infrastructure  more involvement from Industry –Expanded consortium  > 90 partners in 32 countries (Non-European partners in USA, Korea and Taiwan)  related projects  World-wide Grid infrastructure  Increased international collaboration

4. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI-508833 Dieter Kranzlmüller, Plans & Future 4 EGEE  EGEE-II Aim of EGEE: “to establish a seamless European Grid infrastructure for the support of the European Research Area (ERA)” Achievements of EGEE: –Exceeding almost all final goals –Scope expanded beyond Europe Transition EGEE  EGEE-II –Four-year plan –Services continuously available –Adjustments and streamlining (SA3, TCG, …) EGEE-II start:  Full capacity from day one  Large-scale, production-quality infrastructure  Supporting a wide range of applications  Staff with extensive knowledge of Grid technology

5. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI-508833 Dieter Kranzlmüller, Plans & Future 5 EGEE-II Mission Infrastructure –Manage and operate production Grid for European Research Area –Interoperate with e-Infrastructure projects around the globe –Contribute to Grid standardisation efforts Support applications from diverse communities –High Energy Physics –Biomedicine –Earth Sciences –Astrophysics –Computational Chemistry –Fusion –Geophysics (incl. industrial application EGEODE) –Finance, Multimedia –… Industry –Reinforce links with the full spectrum of interested industrial partners + Disseminate knowledge about the Grid through training + Prepare for sustainable European Grid Infrastructure

9. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI-508833 Dieter Kranzlmüller, Plans & Future 9 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 centrally in collaboration with national bodies (in EGEE-II: JRU’s) Proposal: European Grid Organisation (EGO)

10. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI-508833 Dieter Kranzlmüller, Plans & Future 10 Establishing EGO Objectives –Operate production Grid infrastructures for all sciences –Integrate, test, validate and package Grid middleware –Provide advice, training and support to new user communities

11. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI-508833 Dieter Kranzlmüller, Plans & Future 11 European Grid Organization EGO EGO, a proposal for the long-term support and management of a pan-European Grid infrastructure for all sciences Mission of the EGO –Become a centre of excellence in Grid matters  Become a reference for Grid solutions  Provide top class working conditions for leading developers –Deliver Grid solutions to science  Software selection, integration, certification and packaging  Operation of a large Grid infrastructure for major communities  Support for application porting  Provision of test facilities for new communities to evaluate Grids  Education and Training –Support development activities –Coordinate with Grid research centres
