EGI-InSPIRE:WP6 Services for the Heavy User Community

Wiki page for EGI InSPIRE SA3 activities

WP6-SA3

This activity provides continued support for activities previously supported by EGEE while they transition to a sustainable support model within their own community or within the production infrastructure by: Supporting the tools, services and capabilities required by different heavy user communities (HUCs)

• Identifying the tools, services and capabilities currently used by the HUCs that can benefit all user communities and to promote their adoption
• Migrating the tools, services and capabilities that could benefit all user communities into a sustainable support model as part of the core EGI infrastructure
• Establishing e a sustainable support model for the tools, services and capabilities that will remain relevant to single HUCs

TSA3.1 Activity Management (3yr) (Jamie Shiers, CERN)

The SA3 management is the responsibility of the Activity Manager, who reports to the UCO for the running of this activity and coordinates the work across the different tasks within the activity to meet the stated objectives. This activity will be represented in the USAG by the Activity Manager and the task leaders for the sub tasks in TSA3.2 to ensure that the services being offered to the general EGI community are meeting their needs. The domain specific activities will have their community specific mechanisms for supervision. The Activity Manager will pay particular attention to the provision of the shared services and tools task (TSA3.2) to ensure that all requests from all communities are correctly evaluated and prioritised into the work plan even if the work is being undertaken by a single community. All tasks will establish outreach and sustainability plans, and mechanisms for monitoring and gathering feedback on the delivery of their services. The work in SA3 has many benefits to other HUCs (e.g. EIRO and ESFRI) and more broadly the general DCI community. Some of the potential results from this activity include: dashboards customised to specific VOs, workflows and schedulers bridging different DCIs (e.g. DEISA, PRACE, EGI), support of MPI, frameworks for managing collections of jobs on DCIs, services for accessing relational data resources, secure data storage, visualisations tools, etc. Technical dissemination material will be generated by SA3 to inform all communities of this work.
