EGEE-III Enabling Grids for E-scienc. E • Preparation started in December 2006 • Editorial Board set up: Bob Jones, Erwin Laure, Frank Harris, Anna Cook • Second draft of the proposal written with PEB and submitted to PMB in April • These slides are based on the material in that draft • Bi-weekly conference calls with PMB to discuss each activity • Call due to open early summer 2007 and close in September EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 Collaboration Board - 11 May 2007 6
EGEE-III vision and mission Enabling Grids for E-scienc. E • The main vision of EGEE-III is to make a strong move towards a sustainable world-wide production quality Grid infrastructure by appropriate technical and organisational evolutions. • The e-Infrastructure operated by EGEE-III must be capable of providing services to a rapidly increasing number of application areas, and make Grid technology easily accessible and usable for these communities. EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 Collaboration Board - 11 May 2007 7
EGEE-III – What is new Enabling Grids for E-scienc. E • • • Partner/federation reviews National reporting to take into account emerging NGI and JRU structure Clusters of competence concept to enhance some activities § Avoid thinly spread manpower (shown to be ineffective); § Co-locate user, operations, and middleware support, training and dissemination where appropriate to increase synergies; § Invest in quality rather than full geographic coverage (quantity); § Minimum commitment of 50% for key activity personnel. • • Better support for industry Challenge: Bringing the cost of Grid Operations down Networking activities Specific Service Activities Joint Research Activities NA 1: Management SA 1: Operations JRA 1: Mware re-engineering NA 2: Dissemination SA 2: Networking Support NA 3: Training SA 3: Integration, testing & Cert. NA 4: Applications SA 4: t-infrastructure NA 5: International Coop. & Policy NA 6: Business EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 Collaboration Board - 11 May 2007 8
Consortium structure - 1 Enabling Grids for E-scienc. E • EGEE-II counts 91 contractors and a further 48 JRU members • Need to rationalise the consortium in preparation for EGI project – Day-to-day administration with 91 contractors is unsustainable – Must open the door to National Grid Initiatives which will be the mainstay of the future • JRU mechanism already used in EGEE-II can be used where an NGI is not yet in place or is not a legal entity • JRU Workshop held in Brussels on 1 st December 2006 – Attended by 34 people representing 16 countries; featured a talk by Christophe Kowalski, financial and legal officer at DG INFSOM – http: //indico. cern. ch/conference. Display. py? conf. Id=8424 – Positive feedback from attendees on intentions to form JRUs PMB decision: EGEE-III will accept only one public research/academic partner per EU-funded country. Those countries that have more than 1 potential public research/academic partner are invited to form a JRU and identify a single partner to sign the EGEE-III contract EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 Collaboration Board - 11 May 2007 9
Consortium Structure - 2 Enabling Grids for E-scienc. E • Progress made with several countries in terms of national organisation • Consortium Agreement will feature more clauses on JRU and partner obligations (to be prepared Q 4 2007) • Federations: Asia Benelux Central Europe CERN France Germany/ Switzerland Italy Nordic countries South East Europe South West Europe Russia U. K. /Ireland US NREN Northern Europe EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 Collaboration Board - 11 May 2007 10
Joint Research Unit Progress Enabling Grids for E-scienc. E Austria Denmark Ireland Portugal Spain Belgium Finland Israel Romania Sweden Bulgaria France Italy Russia Switzerland Croatia Germany Netherlands Serbia Turkey Cyprus Greece Norway Slovakia UK Czech republic Hungary Poland Slovenia Countries in which a JRU is in place Countries in which a JRU is planned and in progress Countries in which no JRU is planned (one partner) EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 Collaboration Board - 11 May 2007 11
JRU requirements Enabling Grids for E-scienc. E • For those countries “in progress”: – Provide by mid-June: § § Clear details on JRU composition and leadership Progress on JRU Mo. U/CA status Timeline for recognition by ministry Confirmation that the JRU is NOT project specific • More information and links to FP 7 documents on: – http: //egee-technical. web. cern. ch/egee-technical/JRU/towardsfp 7. html EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 Collaboration Board - 11 May 2007 12
EGEE-III Budget Enabling Grids for E-scienc. E • EU contribution capped at 35 Million € – INFRA-2007 -1. 2. 3 e-Science Grid infrastructures is likely to be ~50 Million € PMB decision: EGEE partners and participating JRU members must make known any intention to submit other proposals in the same Call as EGEE-III. Failure to notify EGEE of such proposals may cause the partner to be removed from the consortium. • In some cases, FP 7 cost models allow to charge up to 75 % of costs (for R&D activities – SA and NA are 100%) – This could reduce the total effort available within the budget of the project • EGEE-III will aim at a *total* effort of 10, 000 Person Months and a duration of 2 years – Compared to 11, 165 for EGEE-II with ~37 Million € EU funding – Matching (unfunded) resources from institutes will be needed to ensure this level of manpower with the 35 M€ EC contribution EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 Collaboration Board - 11 May 2007 13
