Creation of Federated Identity Services in LA
• IdF Mexico (managed by UNAM)– Done in cooperation between GISELA and EPIKH– 2 persons came to Catania in July 2012 to learn and install the
services– By end of November 2012, the Mexican federation will comprise:
UNAM Universidad de Colima (UCOL) Dirección General de Institutos Tecnológicos (DGIT) CUDI ... for a total of about 500,000 students and researchers !
• Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama– A training event to create federated identity services will take place in
Bucaramanga on 26-30 November (fully paid by RENATA a nice example of sustainability and commitment)
• Future:– INFN will continue to assist and support LA countries to create
federated identity services until the ELCIRA project will take over (ELCIRA started on the 1st of June 2012)

First set of considerations – Interoperability
• Interoperability is a property referring to the ability of diverse systems and organizations to work together (inter-operate). The term is often used in a technical systems engineering sense, or alternatively in a broad sense, taking into account social, political, and organizational factors that impact system to system performance;
• According to ISO/IEC 2382-01 (Information Technology Vocabulary, Fundamental Terms), interoperability is "The capability to communicate, execute programs, or transfer data among various functional units in a manner that requires the user to have little or no knowledge of the unique characteristics of those units".

1. e-Infrastructures can be made interoperable at user/application level using standards
2. Both general purpose and VRC-specific applications can be submitted from anywhere and run everywhere
The demo “in action”
GISELA - Final Project Review - Brussels - 11/10/2012
www.gisela-grid.eu 31
The demo “in action”
1. The GISELA Science Gateway is completely «agnostic» w.r.t. the middleware deployed in LA
2. No more technical (and political) barriers for a much wider adoption of the e-Infrastructure paradigm
GISELA - Final Project Review - Brussels - 11/10/2012
www.gisela-grid.eu
Second set of considerations – Social Networks
• About 1 billion people have accounts on the existing Social Networks (many of the researchers we are targeting with e-Infrastructures are among them)
• Web-based social networking accounts for more than 10-15% of the total time spent online in the whole world
• Social Networks’ are by far the most used (liked) virtual environments in the world

Third set of considerations – Mobile Access
35
• More than 25% of mobile phones in the world are smartphones and the number of people connected through mobile appliances increases every year
• Social networking amounts to 91% of mobile internet access, compared to 79% on desktops, and it is expected that by 2014 mobile internet should take over desktop internet usage(*)
• So, mobile access to “everything” is not any more an option; it is a must and e-Infrastructures shouldn’t/won’t be an exception

36GISELA - Final Project Review - Brussels - 11/10/2012
www.gisela-grid.eu
Big challenges are in front of us…
• Now that many users can potentially access and use the GISELA Science Gateway, a new training and communication strategy is needed as well as a portfolio of appealing applications to attract them
• How all this is feasible and sustainable in the future the least possible cost ?

Uptake of «Catania» Science Gateways
184 Organisations from 43 Countries
GISELA Science Gateway figures:• 174 users (~700% increase since Dec 2011; about twice the current number of members of the VO and steadily increasing)• 75 Organisations• 18 countries

Summary and conclusions (1/2)
• GISELA legacy builds on four pillars: standard adoption, simplicity, easiness of use and re-usability
• e-Infrastructures can be very useful platforms for many VRCs, provided that they are really easy to use and GISELA has demonstrated that this is not only feasible but also sustainable
• The federated identity based AAI services promoted/fostered/ established by GISELA will bring Latin American countries to the state of the art and will help CLARA and the NRENs in creating new services across the whole continent , shared with Europe and other regions of the world
• The GISELA Science Gateway, with its support for Identity Federations, Social Networks, and mobile access is changing the way the LA Grid infrastructure is used, hugely widening its potential user base, especially non-IT experts and the “citizen scientist”, yet keeping the required level of security
• The adoption of standards (JSR 286, SAGA, SAML, etc.) was a concrete investment towards sustainability and allowed worldwide interoperability at user application level and re-usability of applications at the Science Gateway level
43GISELA - Final Project Review - Brussels - 11/10/2012
www.gisela-grid.eu
Summary and conclusions (2/2)
• “We now have clear ideas and goals, the (standard-based) tools and a roadmap to achieve them, and the strength of choices largely shared and supported by other projects” (from GISELA 2nd review, 8/12/2011)
• In the last 10 months ideas were turned into reality and all goals have been achieved but…
• …we have done much more than this: we now have a vision for the future of e-Infrastructure in Latin America which is shared and financially sustained by the most important stakeholders in the region (i.e., CLARA and the NRENs)
