General Project Information
- Leader: Steve Brewer, EGI.eu
- Mailing List:
- Status: active
- Start Date: TBC
- End Date: TBC
- 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. These targets need to be clarified. There should be a number of country specific targets defined in conjunction participation with the research community and the NGIs.
Tasks
The following tasks will be needed to achieve this:
- Identify representative for the community
- 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
Members
- Steve Brewer, EGI.eu, NL
- Richard McLennan, EGI.eu, NL
- Gergely Sipos, EGI.eu, NL
- Nic Walton, Cambridge, UK (member of the Gaia Science Team and Chair of the GREAT programme)
- Others?
Resources
- GAIA Space mission - general background
- GAIA science page
- Article on the the billion pixel camera
- DPAC - the data processing aspects of the project (includes DPAC within the Gaia mission organization )
- GREAT wiki home page
Progress
Project task progress - 1/03/12:
- Nic Walton (NW), Cambridge (done),
- NW has started participating in UCB (29 Feb 2012), next step prepare draft MoU to initiate discussions
- Reqs - SB and NW to hold talks on 2/Mar/2012 to discuss needs and offerings (inc. contribution/needs from FedCloud TF)
