GRID based Application ServiceProvision

• Shift to industrial/business use of the Grid• Industrial strength service provision middleware for Grids

– resource management– security– Service Level Agreements (SLA) and Quality of Service (QoS)– business models and pricing

• Pilot applications in: biomedicine + finance

ExampleProject

GRASP

Grid Project Example (1)



• Grid Interoperability: enabling applications and virtualorganisations to use simultaneously different Grid middlewarebased on common open standards

• Contribute to standardisation (Global Grid Forum: GGF)• Pilot applications in: meteorology + molecular biology

Grid in Call 2 of IST WP2003-2004

• Call 2 of IST/FP 6 (planned)– expected opening: 17th June 2003– expected closure: 15th October 2003

• Grids for Complex Problem Solving– Indicative Budget: 45 M€– Instruments: IP, NoE, STREPs, CA, SSA

• Indicative budget on Grids for Complex ProblemSolving in FP6: 125 M€

– Links with other ‘Strategic Objectives’



Grid FP6 Preparatory activities 2003

• Workshop held on 29-30 January focusing on constituency building

• Launch of ‘expert group’ to identify research priorities towards thenext generation Grid (April)

• Establish inventory of on-going Grid research in Europe andbeyond

• Position future European IST Grid and Infrastructure actions withrespect to the US Cyberinfrastructure Initiative (proposed funding1020 M$/year)

• Workshop: Grid-based enabling application technologies (28-29April)

• Workshop: Grid platforms for e-enterprise applications (planned)

• Concertation Meeting of FP5 Grid projects (18-19 June)



Recommendations Grid Workshop Jan 2003

• Make inventory of present Grid research– Technology re-use should be assured– Learn from 1st generation projects / Inventory by ‘GridStart’ Project

• Set up a small group of visionary experts to– Identify research priorities for the next 5-7 years and propose

pragmatic steps to be taken;– Propose a roadmap for the implementation of these steps (in view of

upcoming calls for proposals);– Align technology priorities and means of implementation with policy

objectives, e.g. ERA, European Centres of Excellence, etc.– Network/liaise and discuss findings with the Grid research community;– Propose actions to increase efficiency in international collaboration.

Outline

• Grid research in FP6-IST• IST/Grid in the context of ERA policy• Conclusions



European research policy context

• European Research Area (Lisbon Summit, March 2000)

IST-FP6 to boost the emergence of ERA!Grids: a main strategic objective!

• R&D investments from 1.9% up to 3% of GDP by2010 (Barcelona Council, March 2002)



ERA: a new context for EU supported RTD

• Moving towards a European level Research policy– Strengthen co-operation between National and EU Activities– Improve links between National and EU policies and schemes– Development of a “shared vision” on European RTD– Potential for co-funding arrangements

• FP6 is a major instrument to realise ERA• Realising ERA will require

– New thinking: more strategic and goal oriented– New approach: concentration, critical mass and flexibility– New scope: taking account of the international dimension of RTD

(greater awareness of who’s doing what)– New instruments: Integrated Projects (IPs) & Networks of Excellence (NoEs)

FP6 is not business a

s usual!



FP6 is not business as usual!

• From “Project”-thinking to “Initiative”-thinking– New instruments: “Integrated Projects” &

“Networks of Excellence”– More strategic thinking

• Develop Europe-wide approaches– Making sure that Community funding helps

aggregate EU, Member State & private fundedeffort(s)

– It is not just supporting a particular RTD work…



ERA: the co-ordination dimension

• Objectives: Support the member states in developingcommon visions/activities and co-ordinating their effort

– Using if needed, the FP6 instruments

• Approach– Two main layers:

1- Exchange of information: between the MSs and ACCs2- Help develop common initiatives

Complements the ISTAG work.

– To be organised at programme level and at domain levelØUsing Co-ordination Actions to prepare/initiate co-ordination



Outline

• Grid research in FP6-IST• IST/Grid in the context of ERA policy• Conclusions and issues for

discussion



Conclusions

• Grid technologies will revolutionise the Internet of tomorrow asthe Web did for the Internet of today

• Grid research represents a key priority in IST-FP6 and willserve as a means for the evolution of ERA

• Need for stronger co-ordination of existing Community,Member States and international Grid research initiatives, e.g.through a “Virtual Grid Middleware Laboratory”

• The shift of Grids from e-Science to industry will in future reapthe benefits for European business, industry and society



Issues for discussion

• Co-ordination of Member States Gridprogrammes

• Global collaboration

• Specific issues

– Italian Presidency events

– IST 2003 Grid themes

– Co-ordination actions
