Introduction
EGI needs to develop a model and the related processes for allocation of resource as a service to international collaborations. Offering resources as a services is relevant to all communities that do not contribute own resources to the infrastructure.
Policies, a service model and the related processes are needed to:
- provide resources in a streamlined fashion making it procurement easy for users, while taking into account the different Resource Centre-level and NGI-level resource allocation policies
- provide resources as a service through service level agreements in order to give some structure to resource offering for VOs relying on opportunistic usage of resources
- ensure mechanisms are in place to acknowledge usage of resources by VOs that rely on opportunistic usage of the infrastructure. This can happen through acknowledgement of infrastructure usage in published research work and it is important for Resource Centres and NGIs to provide evidence of their contribution to national and international science
- develop processes to express resource demand, and resource offer.
In Nov 2012 the EGI Council approved the start of experimental activities around the development of policies and processes for the application, scientific review and pooled resource allocation of NGI resources. More information
This task force aims at focusing on the processes and the operational aspects of resource application and allocation. The process for assessment is out of scope and will be dwelt with by other groups.
