EGEE – international e-infrastructure
• Build, deploy and operate a consistent, robust a large scale production grid service that
– Links with and build on national, regional and international initiatives
• Improve and maintain the middleware in order to deliver a reliable service to users
• Attract new users from research and industry and ensure training and support for them

NGS- adopting VOMS, as used in EGEE grid
Virtual Organization Membership Service
Before VOMS
• User is authorised as a member of a single VO
• All VO members have same rights
• Gridmapfiles are updated by VO management software: map the user’s DN to a local account
• grid-proxy-init
VOMS
• User can be in multiple VOs– Potentially: aggregate rights
• VO can have groups– Different rights for each– Nested groups
• VO has roles– Assigned to specific purposes
E,g. system admin When assume this role
• Proxy certificate carries the additional attributes
• voms-proxy-init• VOMS establishes and
communicates VO credentials… how these are used is service-specific

Mind the gap….
Research Pilot projects
Early adopters
Routine production
Researchers are not funded to provide production quality software for others to use
OMII-UK exists to help bridge this gap!
17
Open Middleware Infrastructure Institute
Formed University of Southampton (2004) Focus on an easy to install e-Infrastructure solution Utilise existing software & standards
Expanded with new partners in 2006 OGSA-DAI team at Edinburgh myGrid team at Manchester
To be a leading provider of reliable interoperable and open-source
Grid middleware components services and tools to support
advanced Grid enabled solutions in academia and industry.
18
Activity By providing a software repository of Grid
components and tools from e-science projects By re-engineering software, hardening it and
providing support for components sourced from the community
By a managed programme to contract the development of “missing” software components necessary in grid middleware
By providing an integrated grid middleware release of the sourced software components

EU project: RIO31844-OMII-EUROPE
What is OMII-Europe?
• Open Middleware Infrastructure Institute for Europe• European Union funded FP6 project (RI)
– FP: Framework Programme - all research-related EU investment – OMII-Europe is funded from the 6th FP – a ”Research Infrastructure - Integrated Infrastructure Initiative” – Starting May 2006, initial 2 year duration– 16 partners (8 European, 4 USA, 4 Chinese)
• Complimentary to existing national programmes (OMII-UK, NMI, C-OMEGA, OMII-China…)
• Goal is to provide key software components for building e-infrastructures
• Project will demonstrate “proof of concept” with expectation for a follow-on project in FP7
22
EU project: RIO31844-OMII-EUROPE
What will OMII-Europe do?
• Initial focus on providing common interfaces and integration of major Grid software infrastructures
• Common interoperable services:– Data Access, Virtual Organisation Management,
Portal, Accounting, Job Submission and Job Monitoring
– Capability to add additional services• Infrastructure integration
– Initial EGEE/UNICORE/Globus/CROWN interoperability
– Interoperable security framework

NextGRID:Next Generation Grids
Stephen Davey, NeSC, UK
NextGRID Project 11M€ EU FP6 project; 3 years starting September 2004. 22 partners, some industrial, some academic. Developing Architecture for Next Generation Grids. Research and exploration project: A 5-10 year lookout.
www.nextgrid.org
NextGRID Project Vision
Grid offering services
Business focus Grids Applicable to Industry Inter Enterprise Grids
Service Level Agreements & Quality of Service (not
just best effort). Basis in Standards (for interoperability & stability).
Challenges & Experiments Key focus areas:
Service Level Agreements Workflows (across domains) Security Data
Challenges are manifested in NextGRID reference applications: Financial modelling (Implied Volatility, Derivatives Pricing)
Digital media production (On-demand video rendering)
Key components being developed and evaluated.
NextGRID Architecture White Paper Presents the NextGRID Vision and Technical
Challenges, plus future work of the project Architectural Principles
Dynamics, Composition, Infrastructure NextGRID Generalized Specifications and Profiles
