Building e-Infrastructure: People, sociological, economic & technical challenges
One e-Infrastructure: for all disciplines – they all need it.
Balance application pull and organised delivery + Engage industry.
International collaboration on building e-Infrastructure essential.
All disciplines and commercial sectors will join in.
What is e-Science?Goal: to enable better research in all applicationsMethod: Invention and exploitation of advanced computational methods
to generate, curate and analyse research data From experiments, observations and simulations Quality management, preservation and reliable evidence
to develop and explore models and simulations Computation and data at extreme scales Trustworthy, economic, timely and relevant results
to enable dynamic distributed virtual organisations
Facilitating collaboration with information and resource sharing Security, reliability, accountability, manageability and agilityDoes e-Science imply new European requirements?
The Primary Requirement …

The European dimension
EGEE: Enabling Grids for E-Science in Europe
… and beyond32M Euro, 10 regions, 70 partnersAdditional funding from NSF (USA)50% production, 30% development, and 20% dissemination and training
“The Grid Infrastructure in Europe”Deploy a production Grid across EuropeInitially based on LHC Computing Grid
UK NGS will converge and run same e-Infrastructure
Importance of collaboration: VDT
A highly successful collaborative effort
VDT Working GroupVDS (Chimera/Pegasus) team
Provides the “V” in VDT

Middleware, testing, patches, feedback …
PPDG Hardening and testing
Pacman Provides easy installation
capability Currently Pacman 2, moving to
Pacman 3 soon
Used by many projectsSystematic testingRich integration of
componentsEurope should be part of
this – exploit test bedcontribute components
Productise our M/W with this testing & packaging
Thanks to Miron Livny
Where Next for e-Infrastructure
Put people and teams firstInvest in building a communityThe creative forceThe repository of Experience, Skills and Knowledge
Focus on Major PrioritiesDeveloping well-defined Flexible Agreements
Embraced as standards
High-level Software Investment Applications & Requirements led
Explore & Evolve Common & Shared Infrastructure
Recognise and respond to differencesCelebrate and support commonalities
International Collaboration EssentialGlobal ResearchStandards and interoperation

e-Science Institute Figures for 3 Years
We have run just under 7 per month (up from just over 6 at last Review)
19,456 delegate days248 events8,329 delegates (many ‘repeats’)421 event days (in 750 working days)
Further statistics exclude GGF5, as we did not handle registration so cannot do a detailed analysis.
Events held in the 3rd Year(from 1 Aug 2003 to 31 Jul 2004)
We had 114 (86,48) events: (Year 2 & 1 figures in brackets)
7 project meetings ( 11, 4)8 research meetings ( 11, 7)34 workshops (25, 18) 2 schools (2, 0)18 training sessions (15, 8)26 outreach events (12, 3)6 international meetings (5,1)4 conferences (0,1)9 e-Science management meetings (5, 7)

Involvement in EGEE reflected in increase in EU participation
Take home messages
E-Science is for everybody & every disciplineEnvironment, health, safety, design, science, humanities
To enable itBuild “people grids”And “institution e-Infrastructures”
The TechnologyWill support useful work nowBut still too hard to use & hard to sustain
Work on the TechnologyMiddleware, Portals, Security, Networks collaboratively
