| - Co-ordination of standardisation efforts |
|
EchoGRID aimed at participating in FP6 Grids project standardisation group which has the objective of producing regularly updated standards reports and co-ordinating the project activities.
European GRID Standards Strategy Group.
In 2007, EchoGRID, represented by Andrea Manieri (Eng) joined the European GRID Standards Strategy Group created in 2004 and
chaired by Philipp Wieder, from Research Center Jülich. Since September 2008, this
coordination of standardisation activity has been transferred onto the ecss
portal. The technical group on
“Coordination of Contribution to Standards” is now co-led by NESSI (Franz
Kudorfer) and SLA@SOI (Philipp Wieder).
ETSI
ETSI played a major role in an important
EchoGRID activity namely the Plugtests. Two PlugTests events were organized by
the project. The first event was held in Beijing
from 29 October to 2 November 2007
jointly with the Bridge and GridCOMP EU-funded projects. The second PlugTests took
place in Sophia Antipolis from 20 to 24 October 2008 and saw the participation
of many Chinese teams. INRIA and other European funded projects are involved in the ETSI technical Committee on Grid. INRIA is
participating in all regular TC Grid meetings organized by ETSI. Therefore, the
project is aware of other standardization initiatives from some EU-projects and
efforts shared in the ETSI standardization body.
Synergy with other EU projects
EchoGRID collaborated with Nessi-grid , EUChinaGrid , Challengers , Bridge , GridCOMP on Grid discussions.
These contacts increased collaboration and shall ensure the emergence of
research results on a global scale and durable technology solution implementation
for standardization. n addition to those projects, EchoGRID is collaborating with the OW2
Consortium, through INRIA and Engineering as OW2 founders.
EchoGRID provided networking activities to bridge effort on Quality assurance certification processes, ETICS, QualiPSo and Qualoss project, by means of common partners in the project and focused workshops to share findings and identify synergies, such as the session held at OGF 23 in June 2008.
