  1. The CHAIN Project Name – Organisation/institute

  2. Outline • Regional Grid Infrastructures co-funded by the European Commission • Commonalities and differences • A common strategy for the future • The CHAIN Project • Conclusions

  3. Globalisation of Grid Infrastructures CNGrid EUAsiaGrid NKN & Garuda SAGrid & SANREN

  4. Why ? - To extend the ERA(European Research Area)

  5. Who ? - Two (at least) scenarios

  6. Seek, identify, and support e-Science communities and deploy their applications Set-up and manage a Pilot Grid Infrastructure Disseminate, both “bottom-up” and “top-down”, the e-Infrastructure paradigm for long term sustainability of e-Science Train users and site administrators to use and operate an e-Infrastructure based on the EGEE middleware How ? - Consolidated Work-plan

  7. How ? - Instruments & methods • National Grid Initiatives • Internal (national) Infrastructures sustainability is still an issue. • Regional coordination • Difficult to shape the demand of collaboration with Europe in a Regional perspective (bilateral agreements always preferred). • Coordination and interoperation with EGI (European Grid Infrastructure). • Stable Communication Networks co-operations still under development. • Synergistic approach with GEANT and EU NRENs and specific regional networks projects, i.e. ALICE, EUMEDCONNECT2, TEIN3, ORIENT

  8. Specific topics

  9. What’s next • A new step forward - International Virtual Research Communities highly need e-Infrastructures with coordinated management and support to create truly global communities that can seamlessly use several e-Infrastructures. • Value for EU - Europe has decisively contributed to the advent of e-Infrastructures in emerging regions (Africa, Asia, LA, Mediterranean) and new candidate EU countries (SEE, Baltic). Their evolution towards sustainable regional e-Science infrastructures should be finalised.

  10. A new project Coordination & HarmonisationofAdvancedeINfrastructures CHAIN

  11. CHAIN Objectives • Define a strategy and a model for external collaboration, in close collaboration with EGI.eu which will enable operational and organisation interfacing of EGI and external eInfrastructures. • Validate this model, as a proof-of-principle, by supporting the extension and consolidation of worldwide Virtual Research Communities such as Environment & Climate Change. • Explore and propose concrete steps forward towards the coordination with other projects and initiatives (e.g. EGI.eu, EUMEDGRID-Support, EUIndiaGrid2, LinkSCEEM2, PRACE, National Knowledge Network, etc.).

  12. Status & Partners • Grant Agreement signedwith EC for a total contributionof 1.1 M€ • Total cost: about 1.9 M€ • Start Date: 1st December 2010 • Partners: • INFN (Italy - Coordinator) • CESNET (Czech Rep.) • CIEMAT (Spain) • GRNET (Greece) • IHEP (China) • UBUNTUNET (Africa) • CLARA (Latin America) • PSA (India) • ASREN (Med./Middle East/Gulf) Representedby INFN • Asia-PacificconsortiumRepresentedby INFN

  13. Work Packages

  14. WP2 - Consolidation of existing state of the art • Conduct a state-of-the-art analysis regarding current solutions for European Grid interfacing with Grids in other world regions • Produce a set of guidelines for operational and organisational interactions, customised for the type of region. • Disseminate the NGI concept in the regions where this is needed, and conduct actions for national and regional sustainability

  15. WP3 -Present and emerging needs of trans-continental scientific communities • Continue to provide limited support to the existing and well experienced Virtual Research Communities such as LHC and BioMed; • Provide support for communities that have already approached the Grid technology but are interested to widen their activities collaborating with other continents; • Discover and attract new scientific communities or merge similar ones actually operating within separate e-Infrastructures worldwide. • Select at least a couple of reference communities that will be involved in the project to validate the proposed model.

  16. WP4 - Modelling the cooperation of European e-Infrastructures with non-European ones • Study and propose a model for cooperation and interoperation among European and non-European e-Infrastructures in cooperation with WP2 and WP3; • Perform an organizational study that will take into account a regional “customisation” applied to a shared model for sustainability; • Request and collect feedbacks from qualified actors in the field of e-Infrastructures worldwide on the proposed model and produce a final version with a road-map for the follow-up of extensions to the European Grid Infrastructure.

  17. WP5 - Dissemination and Outreach • Disseminate the benefits of e-Infrastructures in the scientific and technical communities, training them and supporting the transition of relevant applications to the new e-Infrastructure paradigm. • Get the consensus of scientific communities on the usefulness and relevance of these e-Infrastructures for the improvement of their research activities. • Solicit the policy makers, stakeholders and governments to get awareness of the relevance of e-Infrastructures in the development of intercontinental scientific and technological research and, thus, in the general development of countries and continents. • Promote the involvement of funding agencies and governments in the planning and evolution of e-Infrastructures in the countries and regions favouring the inclusion of specific budget lines in their future planning.
