Like the word WEB, the GRID will be the new name
of the Internet

The problem with GRID IT standards

• Most GRIDs today are built around an early set of
  
• de facto standards and toolkits.
• A new generation of industrial strength global
  standards
• is required to fully exploit the Grids
  potential.
• http//www.cordis.lu/ist/grids/building_grids_for_
  europe.htm
• As mentioned in IEEE Publication Emerging GRID
  Standards (04/ 2005),Individual projects
  carried out to meet specific needs
• must interact as part of a larger Grid
  environment,
• but no international consensus exists
• as to which of the many ideas,
• proposed standards, and specifications
• are likely to dominate in the future.

ETSI and GRID

• 2 GRID Plugtests organized 2004 2005

• 1st GRID Workshop 30 September 2005 with support
  of European Commission
• GRID ETSI Strategic topic GA46 November 2005
• Board56 on 1st March 2006 created GRID-SG
• GRID Starter Group BT, Alcatel, EADS, INRIA,
  MINEFI/ARCEP, Telefonica, Siemens
• EU 2006 ICT Standardization Work Programme GRID
• Today ETSI GRID-WORKSHOP and GRID-SG
  kick-offhttp//webapp.etsi.org/meetingcalendar/Me

• What is the synergy ? What will be the scope of
  ETSI GRID together?

Grid Research Projects (Calls 2, 3, 5)
Call 5 started Summer 2006
EU Funding 124 MILLION

2006 ICT Standardisation Work Programme

• Study on GRID Interoperability Validation of
  International Open Grid Standards
• Collaboration with, international standards
  bodies and consortia (IETF, W3C, OASIS,..),
  community and industry fora and initiatives
  (GGF, DMTF, WS-I, EGA etc), the European
  Standardisation Organisations and the NESSI
  European Technology Platform in the field of
  standardisation

Potential for ETSI

• ETSI already has
• Many Members are active GRID stakeholders
• Organized 2 GRID PlugtestsTM events
• PTCC owns high GRID testing potential
• A neutral position to work and produce consensus
  based GRID interoperability Gap Analysis and its
  evaluation.
• Existing Technical Bodies already involved in
  related areas
• TISPAN architecture, security and QoS control
  can be extended to link GRID with telecom
  networks
• ETSI has the  Know How  in Telecom required by
  GRID utility

Next steps... to get it happening

• Continue GRID PlugtestTM events offered to EU
  research projects and GGF
• Encourage TC TISPAN to start work itemRelease 2
  for GRID support
• GRID-SG kick-off, scope, guidance and ToR
• Board57 21-22 June GRID-SG Report with ETSI
