NEWS-1

Jesus reported on the midterm review of EGI-Engage, that went fine. We need however to provide plans for next period, including how we will use the remaining Person Months. We will keep the plans for deliverables, etc. (see below).

The report from the reviewers comments about LifeWatch CC, within WP6:

"LifeWatch CC LifeWatch is a new e-Science ERIC, which is still in its initiation phase. Open data and data lifecycle management is a challenge for them, as is VO management. The EGI CC call was seized upon as a means to solve these problems. European scope and technical support offered by EGI was a key reason for the decision to use LifeWatch’s own resources to collaborate in EGI-Engage. The scaling effect of porting and mounting LifeWatch data to run on EGI services has meant that all LifeWatch researchers can now access all data at any time. Citizen Science is also enabled through this CC via the Natusfera mobile phone app."

And then about the deliverables: D6.1 Integration of assisted pattern recognition tools D6.1 is a software deliverable which is accompanied by this short description of the approach taken in deploying the Caffe pattern recognition tool within the EGI ecosystem. The work has been carried out to support the life- and ecoscience communities and all architectural elements have been justified through a user-community requirements based design approach. More work is planned.

Accepted

D6.6 Data flow handler and basic R tools to integrate and process data from Ecological Observatories in EGI

This deliverable is related to D6.1. It describes the integration of analytical tools for the life- and eco- science communities, notably focusing on the selection, deployment and use of various R tools. The system architecture was designed to meet the data access needs of R and, importantly, to allow access to external compute services: such as HPC. End user feed back has been neutral to favourable for the preliminary version currently deployed. Work will continue to develop the EGI life- and eco- science support services. The appendix relating to the testing of R in different environments reveals interesting results.

Accepted

Delay of deliverables? Engagement of other communities. They need to focus efforts there. Engage with SMEs as Lifewatch CC. EGI industry program was defined recently.

NEWS-2

We have submitted as Competence Center an abstract for a talk to Krakow conference on Digital Infrastructures for Research 2016 (see http://www.digitalinfrastructures.eu/)

We will link the abstract to the wiki. (PENDING)

In parallel, two other abstracts related to ESFRI context and LifeWatch have been submitted, one for a full session.

We can yet submit abstract for posters. Volunteers encouraged! 

Posters can be sent until 20th July. We won’t 

The meeting in Krakow is not an EGI conference, so in principle we do not plan to have a CC meeting there (but see below).

NEWS-3

We have participated in the COOP+ Kick-off meeting in Granada (remember this was prsented by Curro Bonet on our last meeting in Amsterdam). Now it is time for challenges involving different environmental (marine, eco, atmosphere) Research Infrastructures at international level. Contact us if you can contribute.

NEWS-4

Meeting in Italy (PENDING)

See Semantics WG update.
