CoreGRID objectives

To build a European-wide research laboratory– To avoid fragmentation of Grid research activities in Europe– Create the European “Grid Lighthouse” and be seen as such worldwide – To achieve integration and sustainability

To build solid foundations for GRID and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technologies – Both on a methodological basis and a technological basis.– Support medium and long term research activities

Achieve and promote scientific and technological excellence within & beyond the Grid research community

Gather and disseminate European research

A think-tank for spin-off projects– EC funded, bilateral projects, international cooperations, …

Network priorities

Excellence– CoreGRID brings together a European critical mass of

well-known experts in GRID and P2P research allowing to compete with research and development in North America and Asia

– An ambitious joint program of activities to deal with well identified challenges

Long-term integration & structuring– Set-up a sustainable European research laboratory with

an associated management• With several Institutes• With research groups assigned to Institutes

Industrial Advisory Board (IAB)

IAB has four primary objectives:

– To communicate to the Network European Industry’s long-term Grid-related technology needs and challenges– To provide the Network with Grid validation cases– To help identify the market sector(s) to be addressed within the Grid User Community, in order to ensure a

quick adoption of next generation Grid technologies within European industry– To report to the Scientific Advisory Board its recommendation with respect to future strategic GRID-related

research objectives

IAB is composed of 15 members from the European industrial sector

Interest in and Contibution to Standards

No direct work on standards in CoreGRID, however

• Several Institutes have members/research groups active in different projects with links standards activities, e.g.– IPM, IGA, IPSET through the GridCOMP project

– IRMS through participation in different GGF groups (e.g. GRAAP,

OGSA-RSS, GSA• Participation in GSCG• Participation through GSCG in COPRAS activities
