The EGI Cloud Platforms provide collections of programmable tools, middleware services and virtualisation technologies that enable communities to configure access to those services that are needed in their individual domains.
Input from the users and communities as well as from across EGI on coordination and communication activity
This track covers the operational services and tools used by EGI to deliver a federated infrastructure composed of a multitude of national resource providers. The track will comprise a series of community events and workshops to address specific technical areas and shape the future of operations. The main themes of the Operations Services track are:
The Science Gateways Workshop aims to put in common the experience of the different working groups that are currently participating in the development and use of this technology.
Three training sessions covering:
1. The design of OpenMOLE workflows, including how to embed external applications.
2. Scientific end-users and administrators will gain hands-on experience with the Globus Online service (GO) for reliable, high-performance, and secure file transfers.
3. First-hand practical information about Globus Toolkit v.5 and a suite of relevant community tools.
The EMI (European Middleware Initiative) is coming to an end in April 2013. During its three year duration, EMI has established a number of initiatives and performed collaboration activities in different software-related areas. This workshop will present the different initiatives and collaborations that will continue beyond the end of the project and carry out the vision of innovating distributed computing and data management services for research infrastructures, with particular focus on the Middleware Development and Innovation Alliance (MeDIA) initiative and the SciencePAD initiative.
Expert contributions will be invited to provide descriptions of current and planned work and stimulate discussions and further collaboration

Scope: The workshop will bring together projects and initiatives working world-wide in the domain of the digital cultural heritage, digital arts, digital performances and digital humanities in order to discuss opportunities for cooperation.
Topics of discussion:
-> Describe the architecture that will be implemented by the project to access the data infrastructure you are building (are you considering federated identity services ?); how could we send you our requirements and feebacks ?
-> List the standards you're uptaking to build the data infrastructure; how will your data infrastructure be interoperable with those of related projects and other initiatives worldwide ?
-> How DCH community could profit of the data infrastructure you are building; how could we send you our requirements and feebacks ?
-> Would you be interested in being considered in the DCH-RP Roadmap ? Are you willing to collaborate with us through dedicated MoUs ?
-> Were you in contact with existing e-infrastructures do you plan to collaborate with them and use their services?

This workshop:
- provides meeting point for VT members;
- a platform for VT leaders to present their achievements and explain how they progress from a ‘manageable’ goal to a final result.;
- cover techniques & best practices that can help simplify the task of managing projects as well as the monitoring and reporting procedures that are currently in place.
The session is targeted at those who wish to learn of new developments and communities in EGI, and especially for those who want to be part of new development paths for EGI.

Software Carpentry boot camp "highlights"
* http://go.egi.eu/swcarpentry *
EGI.eu, together with the UK Software Sustainability Institute, will run three Software Carpentry sessions for researchers at the EGI Forum on Thursday 11th April. These sessions are drawn from Software Carpentry's highly successful and popular boot camps which teach software development skills to researchers, enabling them to do more, in less time and with less pain. The three sessions are:
-11:00 Using version control to record provenance and collaborate more easily. This session includes an introduction to Git and GitHub.
-14:00 Using testing to help ensure your software, and results, are correct.
-16:00. Data management using files and NoSQL databases to manage your data more easily. This session includes an introduction to the NoSQL database MongoDB.
Attendees at the EGI Forum are free to attend any or all of the sessions, up to a maximum of 40 - first-come first-served.
For all 3 sessions, you should have some familiarity with using a command-line (e.g. a Linux shell or terminal window, or the DOS prompt). For the testing and data management sessions, you should also have knowledge of a programming language (e.g. C, FORTRAN or Java) or scripting language (e.g. Perl, Bash or MATLAB). We'll be using Python but we'll provide a quick introduction to the key syntax in each case.
You'll also need to bring your laptop. You'll need an internet browser and you'll also need access to software tools we'll be using in the workshop. You can either use an SSH client to access a VM we'll provide for you (we'll give you the login on the day), or install VMWare and run a VM image we've prepared, or, you can install all the tools yourself.
For more information on the tools you need, and a link to our VMWare VM, please see,
http://github.com/swcarpentry/boot-camps/blob/2013-04-egi-forum/README.md
Our training materials will also be made available via this page at the outset of the Forum.

This workshop aims to bring together the various communities working on federated identity management solutions that simplify or hide from their users their certificate-based authentication and authorisation infrastructure.
The objective will be to share our experiences and technologies so we can identify areas for reuse (whether architecture, APIs or pluggable components) across the NGIs. The first session of the workshop includes contributions from the EGI community, the second session looks beyond EGI and includes presentation about various projects/initiatives.

Scientific workflow (or e-science workflow) emerged as a paradigm to formalize and structure complex scientific experiments supported by Distributed Computing Infrastructures. An e-science workflow is a formal specification of a scientific process to capture and to automate the analytical and computational steps of a simulation. The 2x90 minutes long workshop brings together the representatives of some of the most important workflow systems, workflows and support projects from the EGI community and beyond, and will give the opportunity to discuss and exchange experiences, best practices and issues of building ‘communities of interest’ through workflow technologies. Special emphasis is given to workflow solutions that work with the production infrastructures offered by EGI, namely the grid platforms and the recently established Federated Cloud platform. The workshop is organised by the ER-flow and EGI-InSPIRE projects as a 2x90 minutes long session under the EGI Community Forum.

There are a variety of user interfaces for national Certification Authorities (CAs) across the NGIs. The aim is to bring relevant communities together and "compare notes" so we can see what could be done to make our current software more reusable and seek compatible interfaces.
