3. Agenda Introduction of new members SGA1 Retrospective
Good
Bad
Action Items for SGA2 (what should change)
Most immediate items
Integration of CEA and RWTH visualisation system
Interface to WP7.1
Interactions with WP7.2 & ICEI/Fenix
Wrap-up and AOB

4. Reminder: WP7.5 SGA2 Overview
The main activities will be around the following areas:
Infrastructure operations
Middleware services
Identity management
Development and support for platform and development services
Orchestration of resource usage
Reporting and accounting
Software deployment
The rationale behind this structure is to continue the SGA1- WP7.5 activities, reinforce the support for Cloud-like services and to transform the infrastructure to utilise the ICEI/Fenix Infrastructure Services, as they become available.

5. Introduction of new members
Short round of introductions
Who you are and your area of expertise
Which partner you are from
Which task you will work in

6. Reminder of SGA1 Structure
T7.5.1 – HPC + Cloud Services

13. Summary of WP7.1 Interactions
WP7.1 will work closely together with the other technical WPs of SP7
Will facilitate technical coordination within SP7
Provide use cases and requirements needed for adopting a co-design approach
Towards WP7.2: Ensuring R&D being performed in compliance with the long-term strategy for developing and enhancing HPAC
Towards WP7.5: Specifications provided by WP7.1 will be used as basis for integration work performed in WP7.5
Act as a link to the ICEI project by providing the necessary specifications and by validating the infrastructure realised through this project
Forward looking roadmap for relevant technologies

15. WP7.2 and ICEI/Fenix Both are important to WP7.5
WP7.2 colleagues used to be embedded in WP7.5
ICEI/Fenix is an important project which defines our Infrastructure Services
Need to define interactions with these two entities
There is already a lot of overlap
Need to be clear on the demarcations
Next session
