13. 1 st CHAIN Review – Athens, 03 Feb. 201213 Interoperability and interoperation recommendations  Production of D2.2  D2.2 - 1) per-continent and per-technology state of the art  D2.2 - 2) technology-oriented and region-specific recommendations  Format: “Recommendation-SerialNumber-RegionName-Term-Priority”  Example: Recommendation-2-GEN-Long-Medium: “In larger countries, work towards harmonising the various initiatives, with the emphasis on producing a national-level coherent strategy for the development of DCIs”

14. 1 st CHAIN Review – Athens, 03 Feb. 201214 WP2 Recommendations  74 Detailed recommendations classified by:  Short (1 year), Medium (3 years) and Long term (5 years)  High, Medium, Low priority  National Grid Initiatives (9):  General (5); Regional (4)  Interoperations (14):  General (1), ROC (3), User Support (1), Monitoring (3), Security (2), Core Services (2); Middleware (2)  Interoperability (2): General (1), Input/Output (1)  Virtual Research Communities’ Perspective: General (2)  Regional Planning (47):  Africa (9), Asia Pacific (6), Central Asia (5), China (7), India (4), Latin America (5), Mediterranean & Arab Countries (11)

15. 1 st CHAIN Review – Athens, 03 Feb. 201215 Outline  CHAIN project overview  Sustainability recommendations and NGI guidelines  Specific issues for Asia-Pacific region

16. 1 st CHAIN Review – Athens, 03 Feb. 201216 AP recommendations: National level  In smaller countries, continue supporting the NGIs, which are under construction, while in cases where no NGI is established, work towards embedding the NGI within the NREN if there is no obvious strong DCI player in the country.  Carry out focused sustainability-oriented disseminations in all regions, and target these to be appended to the events that gather the policy makers and NRN/NGI representatives of the regions.

17. 1 st CHAIN Review – Athens, 03 Feb. 201217 AP recommendations: Regional level  In all regions, progress from JRU model on regional level through to establishing a dedicated legal body and financial model.  Sustainability analysis should be made for the ROCs that have not yet done it.  Asia Pacific region should work towards strengthening the established JRU. The development of e-Infrastructure and e- Science in Asia Pacific region varies a lot county by country. The best strategy in terms of sustainability is to foster domain- specific collaborations across the countries based on the APGI. The region as a whole should keep continuous involvement in European e-Science and e-Infrastructure collaborations.

18. 1 st CHAIN Review – Athens, 03 Feb. 201218 Sustainability and NGI guidelines  Collection of the existing sustainability and NGI guidelines  Systematized and provided through the CHAIN project wiki/website  Dissemination of the literature to the widest possible National Grid communities across the world - via electronic means as well as targeted actions and focused workshops  http://www.chain-project.eu/wiki/-/wiki/WIKI+Page/Strategic+and+sustainability+documents http://www.chain-project.eu/wiki/-/wiki/WIKI+Page/Strategic+and+sustainability+documents
