Description
In her new role as Director EGI InSPIRE, Dr Tiziana Ferrari initiated this workshop with the intent to engage actively with the EGI communities and thereby to both foster close collaboration with stakeholders and to acknowledge their needs as we move forwards towards the Horizon 2020 work programme. Note that in order to maximise the effectiveness and benefit of this event, a separate but related series of preparatory meetings has also taken place (starting 16 Oct) with NGI International Liaisons (NILs), EGI Champions and NGI Operations Managers. OBJECTIVES The workshop aims to: * present the EGI strategy to the whole community; * discuss the Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2014-2015; * in a open and collaborative environment, we will collect and discuss plans and strategies for innovation from the members of the EGI community. The focus is to be on ideas that allow EGI to evolve to support new services and business models, the integration and support of multidisciplinary science, the development of human networks and of a EGI distributed competence centre. In the context of the EGI Federated Cloud, we will explore how to extend its capabilities and its supported user communities. WHO SHOULD ATTEND The workshop is intended for but is not limited to: * Representatives of existing and new user communities * Research Infrastructure representatives * NGIs and EIROs * Resource Centres * Technology Providers EXPECTED OUTCOME We seek to capture stakeholder ideas for innovation: firstly for new and innovative EGI InSPIRE mini-projects; secondly and most significantly in the longer term, for innovative project collaborations that match the Horizon 2020 vision. The workshop will also continue to foster the creation of collaborations across all the EGI stakeholders.

        1. EGI resource centres would benefit from support for the development and implementation of data management policies for hosting data for scientific projects (for both open and restricted access data). What processes, policies and tools should EGI provide for its resource centres to help them setup and implement sustainable data management plans? 2. Several use cases require a permanent identifier (PID) infrastructure to make data accessible in the long term. What PID infrastructure(s) and in what form should EGI support on its production infrastructure? 3. The Unified Middleware Distribution (UMD) of EGI includes the software components that are common to all user communities and are therefore deployed on every site of the production infrastructure. What new software should be included in the UMD to support resource centres serving cross cutting needs? (For example data ingestion endpoint, archival storage, data management, data administration, preservation planning, access) Should the UMD be made larger, or rather smaller leaving more space for community specific solutions deployed e.g. in the form of virtual appliances via OCCI? 4. EUDAT develops and provides a set of services that serve various scientific use cases. Which EUDAT services and how should be adopted in EGI? 5. Many of the emerging scientific use cases require the integration of domain-specific software from external providers into EGI’s production infrastructure. How can EGI operate an efficient and scalable software integration process to enable the rapid injection of new software into the production infrastructure? Panel members: - Matthias Hemmje - Digital preservation, Chair of Multimedia and Internet Applications, University of Hagen (potential new technology provider) - Alexandre Bonvin - WeNRM community (scientific user community) - Jesus Marco de Lucas - LifeWatch community (scientific user community) - Michel Dresher - DCH-RP (scientific user community) - Horst Schwichtenberg - VERCE (scientific user community) (Waiting for confirmation)

      CWI Building

      Science Park, 1098XG Amsterdam

      Identity and access management are a critical issue for integrated e-Infrastructures. Various initiatives have tackled this issue in Europe but still research communities need to use different AAI systems for different infrastructures. The common technical, operational and legal issues will be discussed, as well as the role that EGI and other organizations can play in implementing and adopting a pan-European identify federation.
