SEE-GRID-SCI PSC07, Zabljak, February ■ MNA4.1 Regional applications analysed[PM04] ■ Means of verification: DNA4.1 Target applications analysis ■ MNA4.2 Three core user groups’ applications running on the regional Grid[PM24] ■ Means of verification: DNA4.4 User community engagement and applications assessment + Demonstration at review Milestones

SEE-GRID-SCI PSC07, Zabljak, February “In the second year of the project, the partners will need to place more emphasis on dissemination of the scientific outputs from the project. Deliverable NA4.4 due in M24, User Community Engagement and Applications Assessment, should signpost: the new science / new capabilities developed by the project; how the scientific state of the art has been advanced by the project; how the grid has helped advance the science base. In addition, it will be important to point to scientific papers produced by the project that have appeared in refereed conferences/journals outside the grid community in the scientific field of interest.” Review Recommendations

SEE-GRID-SCI PSC07, Zabljak, February ■ Almost all in “Deployed in Production” ! ■ Extension to GreenView: EnviMon from MD – Also “Deployed in Production” ■ CHERS – in “Developed Grid-mode” – almost ready for “Testing Grid-mode” ■ ROMS – in “Testing Grid-mode” Gridification Status

SEE-GRID-SCI PSC07, Zabljak, February ■ All applications are supposed to have a web page or a wiki section – In case of a web page, there should be a link from the wiki ■ These, especially, should make improvements asap: ■ MCSAES, CHERS, MSACM, MSERRHSA, CCIAQ, ROMS, ■ GreenView (missing info on EnviMon), ■ Lizza-PAKP (link broken on the wiki) – But, all need to consider the check-list for the content: ■ Scientific model implemented ■ User documentation*: guide, licensing info,... ■ Description of JRA1 AS/OT usage * Suggested to use the format given in “ User Documentation” of “Deliverable JRA1.3 – Application services design report” Web Pages / Wiki Sections

SEE-GRID-SCI PSC07, Zabljak, February ■ Scientific publications (incl. submissions) within PY2 ■ CHERS: 1+1, GreenView: 10+0, Lizza-PAKP:1+0, ROMS:0+1, BG Apps:10+2 => Total for Envo: 22+4 ■ WRF-ARW: 3+1, REFS: 4+0 => Total for Meteo: 7+1 ■ ELF: 1+0, FPS:1+1, SDS: 3+1, SRA: 1+3, MDSSP-WA: 1+1, NMMC3D: 2+1 => Total for Seismo: 9+7 ■ a+b means 'published/just submitted' + 'near-future plan' – More emphasis should be given to publications! ■ List of scientific events & journals to be announced (and then kept updated) by VOs in order to guide members ■ Achieved only by Seismo VO, so far, at Application Dissemination

SEE-GRID-SCI PSC07, Zabljak, February ■ VOMS groups are ready for all applications ■ Some collaborators still not registered, eg., ■ Ljupco Jordanovski to MDSSP-WA ■ BG partners to SRA ■ ME and GE partners to REFS ■ Application developers should check if all collaborators are registered to the applications' VOMS groups; ■ When such exists, VOMS admin should be contacted ■ Note: Regional collaborators in ROMS ! Application Accounting Collaborators in VOMS Groups

SEE-GRID-SCI PSC07, Zabljak, February ■ Other applications not seen on the output ■ Differences between VO totals of per-application accounting and per-VO accounting numbers? ■ Some sites not publishing the accounting data have been identified – Could any other such site exist? ■ All zero: CHERS, ROMS, SDA ■ WRF-ARW + WRF-ARW/Role=developer ? Application Accounting

SEE-GRID-SCI PSC07, Zabljak, February ■ All are met for all Vos ■ Number of applications deployed ■ Number of users ■ Number of countries involved ■ Number of research groups involved ■ Except ■ Number of users for Meteo VO ■ Expected: 35, Now: 30 PM24 Metrics

SEE-GRID-SCI PSC07, Zabljak, February ■ GENESI-DR works on defining and developing data policies and tools to support the data and service access. ■ There are two tendencies among partners GENESI-DR partners on data policy: ■ To make public the spatial data, especially for EC projects, education and research (e.g. GMES, GEO) ■ To make data private and to require particular license (e.g. RapidEye, JRC – by individual contract) ■ Combination of the first two solution (e.g. ESA) GENESI-DR Interaction Background

SEE-GRID-SCI PSC07, Zabljak, February ■ SEE-GRID-SCI uses just the public data and services provided by GENESI-DR, available as batch files. ■ SEE-GRID-SCI continues to make experiments on functional development and performance evaluation of tools and services considering data availability, format, dimension, location, etc. ■ GENESI-DR does not provide yet data we require in production. ■ SEE-GRID-SCI has made a proposal to GENESI-DR to develop and provide a set of pilot data repositories to be available for the development of the SEE-GRID-SCI applications. ■ The pilot repositories are resident on the sites of GENESI-DR data providers. ■ Data could be accessed through secured ways and policy (i.e. certificates to access Portal and distributed repositories), as any other production data. GENESI-DR Interaction Status

SEE-GRID-SCI PSC07, Zabljak, February ■ Gridification Guideline updates (reflecting the information contained in DNA4.3) should be completed by the relevant contributors of DNA4.3 by 15 March ■ To be guided/followed by Davor. DNA4.3 and
