INFN role in the project

• INFN is involved in several EU and National Grid
  projects (EGEE-II, EGI-DS, OMII-Europe,
  EUMed/China/IndiaGrid, EELA, BioinfoGRID, IGI,
  LIBI, etc.)
• INFN is leading the Middleware Engineering
  activity in EGEE-II (and its successor EGEE-III)
• INFN is involved in all of the 5 WPs of the
  CYCLOPS project
• Its main role in CYCLOPS is leading the WP2, i.e.
  coordinating with the EGEE activities
• A significant role played in WP4 too, i.e.
  defining research and innovation strategies for a
  e-infrastructure for Civil Protection
  applications

4
WP2 objectives

• From the DoW
• CYCLOPS main goal is to bridge the gap between
  Grid and CP communities
• WP2 aims to carry out CP and Grid communities
  inter-dissemination (project objective 5)
• Operational goals
• Tutorial on EGEE platform for Civil Protection
  agencies
• Civil Protection framework and EGEE
  coordination ? to establish a two way
  communication channel between CYCLOPS and EGEE
  projects

The GILDA Project (https//gilda.ct.infn.it)

• 15 sites in 3 continents
• gt 2800 certificates issued, gt15 renewed at
  least once
• gt 100 tutorials and demos performed in 21 months
• gt 1,000,000 hits (gt 50,000 unique visits) on (of)
  the web site from 10s of different countries
• gt 0.6 TB of training material downloaded from the
  web site

9
The First Training Workshop

• It suffered the delay in the transfer of funds
  from EC to DPC and from this to Partners (ANPC
  and TEI-CR could not attend)
• Delivered at PM11 (April 07) instead of PM7
• 14 participants (DPC, EMA, CNR-IMAA and INFN
  represented)
• First half day of workshop on CYCLOPS activities,
  then grid tutorial with theory and hands-on
• Positively evaluated by participants through
  questionnaire

10
Task 2.1 results and future plans

• Measure of success according to DoW
• Number of training events ? 1
• Number of attendees at training events ? 14
• Questionnaire for self-evaluation of training
  events ? average score 5/6
• (1poor, 2insufficient, 3fair, 4good, 5very
  good, 6excellent)
• Plans for next period
• DPC/IMAA/INFN team attending the INFN School for
  porting new applications to grid, 12-23 November
  2007
• the goal is to port RISICO application to grid
• the next training workshop, to be held close to a
  CP community event to broaden the audience, will
  include the RISICO porting experience as a
  practical example

11

Task 2.2 results and future plans

• Measure of success according to DoW
• Number and impact of feedback provided by CYCLOPS
  to EGEE ? presence at 3 EGEE conferences and 1
  TEG meeting
• Timeliness of information about new middleware
  functionalities implemented by EGEE project ? no
  significant functionalities added to gLite after
  the training workshop, but cyclops VO resources
  kept continuously updated w.r.t. middleware
  upgrades
• Plans for next period
• Report to TEG annual meeting and next EGEE events
  (EGEE User Forum in February 2008) the results of
  WP3 and WP4 activities, most notably the EGEE
  Request for Enhancement document (D14)
• Keep running the cyclops VO infrastructure and
  open it to support RISICO and Flash Flood
  prototype applications

Conclusions

• Grid concepts and the EGEE middleware services
  have been disseminated in several occasions
• Towards a wide heterogeneous Civil Protection
  related audience (at the Project Open Conference)
• Towards CYCLOPS partners (at the Training
  Workshop and at several technical meetings)
• A more focused training action, aiming to
  investigate grid integration approaches and
  prototyping the selected use-cases is planned
  for the next period
• CYCLOPS feedback to EGEE planned at next User
  Forum at Clermont-Ferrand, 11-14 February 2008
