- Meetings: see dedicated page
Motivation
The motivation for this VT project is to initiate and support a GAIA-Space VRC to support the work of researchers working in this area dependent on distributed computing infrastructure. This includes:
- The GAIA mission to chart a three-dimensional map of our Galaxy, the Milky Way
- The DPAC consortium in charge of processing GAIA data
- The Gaia Research for European Astronomy Training (GREAT) networking programme
Output
The expected outputs of this project are:
- The establishment of an active VRC representing this community of users
- The availability of a selection of EGI-based resources for this community
Tasks
The following tasks will be needed to achieve this:
- Identify representative for the community - Nic Walton, Cambridge (done)
- Formally create the GAIA-Space VRC
- Collect and analyse the key requirements for this community
- Produce some proof of concept resources to demonstrate the type of grid-based resources this community needs
- Produce production level resources for this community
