7. 29 November 2006 3rd ProActive and GCM User Group & ETSI TC GRID 7 Background Slides

8. 29 November 2006 3rd ProActive and GCM User Group & ETSI TC GRID 8 TC GRID Terms of Reference (1)  Approved during Board #57 (2006-06-22)  Address IT and Telecommunications convergence  Note lack of interoperable GRID solutions  Focus on GRID applications and services based on global standards and associated validation tools  Actively involve and support GRID stakeholders  Complement existing activities  Interoperability in end-to-end applications  Formal test specifications  Develop consensus-based technical specifications and reports  Networking widely with relevant standardisation bodies  Roadmap to interoperable ICT GRID standards

9. 29 November 2006 3rd ProActive and GCM User Group & ETSI TC GRID 9 TC GRID Terms of Reference (2)  Broad technical scope  Resource and service access  Protocols, middleware  Security  Broad view of convergence  GRID and Web Services  IT and Telecommunications  Fixed and mobile communications  Ubiquitous services  Broad range of stakeholders  Standardisation bodies, fora, organisations  Industry (software vendors, manufacturers, network operators, service providers, …)  Research and innovation

10. 29 November 2006 3rd ProActive and GCM User Group & ETSI TC GRID 10 Focus of ETSI TC GRID  NOT trying to duplicate standards development already underway in other bodies  Aim is to complement progress being made with more formal standards and test specifications so we can achieve levels of interoperability needed in next generation networks and GRIDs  ETSI uniquely placed to do this:  Focus on “the big picture”  Ability to address IT and networking convergence  Experience in interoperability specification, testing and certification (e.g. GSM/UMTS, DVB, WiMAX, IPv6, Parlay)  Global organisation with extensive cooperation agreements  Clear IPR policies  Formal recognition by the EC One of 3 ESOs

11. 29 November 2006 3rd ProActive and GCM User Group & ETSI TC GRID 11 Work Item: Inventory of ICT stakeholders (DTR/GRID-000001-1)  Inventory and analysis of existing and emerging international GRID standards  Across range of standards-making bodies current, proposed and de facto GRID standards  Determine shortcomings overlaps, loopholes, inconsistencies all levels: network to application interfaces  Supporting organisations  BT, Alcatel, Siemens, Minefi, INRIA, EADS, FSCOM

12. 29 November 2006 3rd ProActive and GCM User Group & ETSI TC GRID 12 Work Item: Identification of interoperability gaps (DTR/GRID-000001-2)  Select and propose solutions for identified interoperability gaps  Series of practical recommendations to address them  For example: compilation of application best practice definition of profiles, guidelines for operational use (open source) reference implementations conformity, compliance test suite specifications development of test tools recommendations for additional standards  Supporting organisations  BT, Alcatel, Siemens, Minefi, INRIA, EADS, FSCOM

13. 29 November 2006 3rd ProActive and GCM User Group & ETSI TC GRID 13 Work Item: ICT GRID Interoperability Testing Framework (DTR/GRID-000002)  Define a GRID testing framework  Test and validation methodology, approach and tools  Propose reuse of tools developed by MTS-IPT (IP testing) generate “Requirements Catalogue” transform existing specifications into formal test scenarios corresponding to selected interoperability case studies  Best practice recommendations in both IT and Telecom  Use and complement existing interoperability activities events (e.g. Plugtests), profiles, testbeds, test suites, … GRID but also consider NGN, IPv6 etc  Supporting organisations  BT, Alcatel, Siemens, Minefi, INRIA, EADS, FSCOM
