Delivery of Industrial-strength Grid Middleware:
establishing an effective European approach
21 January 2004, Brussels

EU Workshop
2DG INFSO- Grid Research & Infrastructures: W. Boch, M. Campolargo
Motivation for Workshop
Need to improve exploitation of EU research results and commercial impact
Identify appropriate support actions in FP6 (considering the role and the existence of the new instruments IPs and I3s)
Identify EU requirements in view of UK-OMII and other international initiatives
Reflect on EU-wide approaches towards standardisation & international co-operation

FP6 New Instruments - Expectations
IPs covering the entire R&D lifecycle of products and services including the pre-competitive
stages of productising and marketing IPs with strong industrial involvement more mature and near to market product prototypes and pilot services expected
faster or earlier exploitation and take-up in commercial terms
I3s
provision of ICT research infrastructures throughout Europe (so called e-Infrastructure) for e-Science
I3s to evolve the networking infrastructure, Grid middleware and Application services towards the realisation of production-level Grid enabled infrastructures
Integrated Projects – IPsIntegrated Infrastructure Initiatives – I3s

The Grids empowered e-Infrastructure is an enabling tool for research
Middleware becomes an infrastructure, as much as hardware and networks
e-Infrastructures require therefore an emphasis on a number of aspects related to the “industrial-strength of Grid middleware”
– robustness– functionality– interoperability– evolution– standards conformity (e.g. compliance with open source, OGSA)– maintenance– persistence– availability (e.g. through repositories)– ….

Workshop Objectives
To facilitate an open debate between industry and research on most effective routes, approaches and methods towards the delivery of industrial-strength Grid middleware
To reflect on the respective roles of research, industry and public authorities in promoting exploitation, take-up and technology transfer to industry
To identify emerging Grid software and service business models
To elaborate on requirement and options towards standardisation and collaboration with other international Grid initiatives
To recommend a set of actions relevant for implementation by the IST and the Research Infrastructures Work Programmes
11DG INFSO- Grid Research & Infrastructures: W. Boch, M. Campolargo
List of topics / themes proposed
The Grid software engineering, production and commercialisation process
The distribution of roles and functions between the private and public sectors in supporting exploitation and commercial take-up
The Grid software and service business models
The context of International Collaboration
