PRAGMAs Founding Motivations Updated 2005

• Science is an intrinsically global activity

• The grid is transforming e-science
• computing, data , and collaboration

• The problem remains that the grid
• is too hard to use on a routine basis

• Middleware software and people need to
• interoperate

3
Key Attributes of PRAGMA Successes (Intangible
but Critical)

• Constructed conduit of technology, ideas,
  information, people
• Multi-directional flow among institutions and
  communities of software, approaches
• Developed framework for collaboration
• Foundation for continued and greater work
• Built trust among members
• Interoperability is essential among people
• Sharing (resources, ideas, people) resulted

Results many unplanned, tangible successes

PRAGMA
Overarching Goals
Establish sustained collaborations and Advance
the use of the grid technologies for applications
among a community of investigators working with
leading institutions around the Pacific Rim
Working closely with established activities that
promote grid activities or the underlying
infrastructure, both in the Pacific Rim and
globally.

  applications
• Enhance and expand our routine use application
  grid laboratory and a grid operation center
• Continue testing long-term runs, multiple
  applications (unique non-discipline specific
  grass roots grid)
• Extend GOC
• Look at how to incorporate OptIPuter technology
  (optical networks)
• Incorporate testing data proximity to compute
  platforms
• Create multi-way software dissemination pathways
• Extend Rocks Rolls to other middleware
• Extend NMI/Ninf-G experience to other middleware
• Strengthen the conduit for the exchange and the
  framework for collaboration
• Workshops, Brochures, New members
• Unexpected new successes (e.g. Other PRIUS)
• Finalize this by 10 December Request your input
  and assistance
