The e-Infrastructure vision e-Infrastructure security mobility semantic web. automatic management broadband learning business aeronautics genomics environment astronomy health science IPv6 Grid

How to address this vision  Fostering communities of practice which lead to evolution, shaping and stabilisation of new scientific and technological paradigms (virtuous cycle of innovation)  Articulating user driven requirements with technology innovation  Emphasising cross disciplinary and distributed nature of modern infrastructures  Promoting stability and operational nature of infrastructures, looking ahead for long term sustainability  Catalysing on the research results (national/EU) and promoting research to enhance the infrastructures

 Fostering coordination and synergies with national initiatives, fighting digital divide  As e-Science is a global endeavour, building on a global perspective to rationalise investments in expensive resources (thinking global to ensure maximum European value-added)  Focussing on e-Science, supporting an industrial policy and ensuring an enduring impact on society  Promoting best practices and repositories of industrial-class middleware components How to address this vision

What has been achieved FP6 Network infrastructure Grid infrastructure Scientific facilities GÉANT EGEE DEISA production quality grid, CPUs, ~5PB storage, 150 sites, international links, training, 27 countries, 71 partners, HEP, Biomed,... Pan-European Research Network, access to 12000km of dark fiber/unlimited capacity, 3700 institutes, IPv6 enabled, global dimension grid of EU supercomputers networked at Gbps, focus on global filing systems, >40 Tflop/s, several user communities

support to existing research infrastructures support to new research infrastructures FP7 e-Infrastructures - new layers, new infrastructures New FP6 Network infrastructure Grid infrastructure Scientific facilities Scientific data infrastructure

FP7 – reinforcing leadership in network and grid layers  Further development and evolution of GÉANT and grids  Foster adoption by new user communities, enhance global relevance, increase level of trust and confidence  Anticipate and integrate new requirements and solutions

FP7 – addressing the new scientific data layer

 Foster the emergence of Europe as a world scientific data hub.  Deploy data repositories for the scientific community and future generations of scientists supporting, in a coordinated way, digital libraries, archives, data storage, data curation, access to information and the necessary pooling of resources.

FP7 – ICT based new infrastructures  key component Science infrastructure  sustainable eco-system, pyramid shaped, requiring European expertise and services infrastructure  reaching petaflop level  supporting different algorithmic processes rather than different scientific disciplines  continuously investment and upgrade on top of the national infrastructures  building on a DEISA-like model HPC infrastructure for Europe, recommended by ESFRI
