Enabling Grids for E-sciencE

INFSO-RI-508833

Requirements

• EGEE Requirements collected in two places– http://egee-na4.ct.infn.it/requirements/list.phpAnd– https://savannah.cern.ch/support/?group=egeeptf

• The first one appears to be a subset while the second one appears to be a more complete list

• Not clear who if anyone from ESR has login access to these pages (i.e. to contribute)

• EO requirement for geospatial metadata support discussed in Athens with P. Kuntz and R. La Rocha– No more news since then

• Most other ESR requirements are included in these lists (as from EDG AWG input)

• Possibility to vote to increase priority of a requirement?• MoU :

Resources

• Machines Resources– The ESR VO can be considered self-sufficient in terms of available

resources vs. estimated needs of the deployed applications– However, there is need for some dedicated machines / services (e.g.

for Metadata, VOMS testing, etc.)• Human Resources

– ESR participation in EGEE is quite limited lack of dedicated people means low level of support for ESR activities

– Difficulty to attend meetings, conferences, training events No travel budget

– Increased levels of participation of ESR is need to Increase the number and type of applications and users of EGEE

middleware & infrastructure Widen exploitation of EGEE by generic (ESR) applications Towards a more standard middleware & infrastructure, as opposed to

“splintering” into differerent middleware solutions

• Training– Needed for ESR site admins, application developers and users
