PRAGMA Update

1. PRAGMA Update 21 October 2005 Hyderabad

2. PRAGMA’s Founding Motivations – Updated 2005 • Science is an intrinsically global activity • The grid is transforming e-science: • computing, data *, andcollaboration • The problem remains that the grid • is too hard to use on a routine basis • Middleware software and people need to • interoperate

3. Key Attributes of PRAGMA Successes (Intangible but Critical) • Constructed conduit of technology, ideas, information, people • Multi-directional flow among institutions and communities of software, approaches • Developed framework for collaboration • Foundation for continued and greater work • Built trust among members • Interoperability is essential among people • Sharing (resources, ideas, people) resulted Results: many unplanned, tangible successes
