• Are there missing pieces? If yes, what are they?
• Long term
• Consider how VO-like security will be implemented
  on Cloud.
• What are requirements for applications?
• Step by step
• 1st step does not support Virtual Cluster Grid
• 2nd will support
• What are missing pieces?

• Run them in different hosting environment
• built VM of libraries
• Build geographically distributed virtual clusters
• Networking, scheduling are the issues
• products useful to others
• who will contribute

GEOResource breakout

• Current status
• PRAGMA VO is running and GEO Grid group is in
  it. Ryosuke is a Group admin and responsible for
  management of the group members.
• Future plan
• GEO would like to deploy Tsukuba-GAMA which
  manages user's credential (e.g. accounts,
  certificates, etc.).
• It is expected to be used by PRAGMA members as
  well as non-PRAGMA
• members such as GLEON and CREON.
• Issues to be discussed
• Which site is appropriate to install/host
  Tsukuba-GAMA server for this purpose? SDSC or
  AIST?
• Who will manage Tsukuba-GAMA?
• What should be the appropriate procedure for
  issuing certificate?
• We expect to give a demo at PRAGMA 18.
