European Research Network on Foundations, Software Infrastructures and Applications for large scale distributed, GRID and Peer-to-Peer Technologies

CoreGRID objectives

To build a European-wide research laboratory– Create the European “Grid Lighthouse” and be seen as such

worldwide – To achieve integration and sustainability

To build solid foundations for GRID and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technologies – Both on a methodological basis and a technological basis.– Support medium and long term research activities

Achieve and promote scientific and technological excellence within & beyond the Grid research community

Gather and disseminate European research

A think-tank for spin-off projects– EC funded, bilateral projects, …

Network priorities

Excellence– CoreGRID brings together a European critical mass of

well-known experts in GRID and P2P research– An ambitious joint program of activities to deal with well

identified challenges

Long-term integration & structuring– Set-up a sustainable European research laboratory with

an associated management• With several Institutes

• With research groups assigned to Institutes

European Research Network on Foundations, Software Infrastructures and Applications for large scale distributed, GRID and Peer-to-Peer Technologies

A set of well identified research challenges

Knowledge & Data Management– Handling information/data that are required/produced by a wide range

of diverse processing powerProgramming Model

– Making the programming of Grid infrastructures as simple and transparent as possible

System Architecture– Designing the next generation Grid middleware

Grid Information and Monitoring Services– Scalable information service to implement a service view of the Grid

Resource Management & Scheduling– Scheduling jobs/applications/tasks/computation within a Grid

environmentProblem Solving Environments, tools and GRID systems

– Integrating various middleware, tools and applications for problem solving

Possible collaborations with other projects

Several CoreGRID partners involved in RI projects– Will facilitate collaborations

The research programme for the first 18 months is already fixed– Other projects could contribute for the definition of the

next research programme by identifying research challenges and to to report them to CoreGRID

Co-organizations of events– Summer schools, training, workshops
