5 5 The EPIKH goals Strategic aims: –Reinforce the impact of e-Infrastructures in scientific research defining and delivering stimulating programme of educational events, including Grid Schools and High Performance Computing courses; –Broaden the engagement in e-Science activities and collaborations both geographically and across disciplines. Specific actions: –Spreading the knowledge about the “Grid Paradigm” to all potential users: both system administrators and application developers through an extensive training programme; –Easing the access of the trained people to the e-Infrastructures existing in the areas of action of the project; –Fostering the establishment of scientific collaborations among the countries/continents involved in the project.

14 EPIKH «highlights» Basically, all the training done so far by CHAIN, EU-IndiaGrid2, EUMEDGRID-Support and GISELA projects has been carried out in the context of the EPIKH Grid schools and EPIKH is now considered as the most important training provider in the Grid world; EPIKH has been included by the EuroAfrica-ICT project among the “FP6-FP7 Success Stories” of the development of ICT in Africa; EPIKH has been mentioned as “an example to follow for monitoring and encouraging local scientific applications to fight the digital divide” in the final recommendations made by the high-level stakeholders of the 6 th Conference on “Sharing Knowledge across the Mediterranean” which was held on 6 th -8 th of May 2011 in Malta –www.partager-le- savoir.org/template/fs/malte2011/RecommendationsSKF.pdfwww.partager-le- savoir.org/template/fs/malte2011/RecommendationsSKF.pdf 14

15 EPIKH «breaking news» Grazie ai successi ed ai riconoscimenti di questi 2 anni e mezzo, la Commissione ha autorizzato EPIKH ad organizzare scuole anche in paesi che non sono partner ed a far venire in Europa giovani ricercatori anche non appartenenti a organizzazioni facenti parti del consorzio; Nuove scuole si stanno quindi organizzando in Colombia e Ecuador e si terranno nei primi mesi del 2012 in collaborazione con GISELA; Altre richieste sono arrivate da: Argentina, Emirati Arabi, Libano, Malesia, Nuova Zelanda, Nigeria, Taiwan, e Uganda. 15

16 Alcune considerazioni Malgrado l’entità dei finanziamenti, il numero di utenti delle infrastrutture Grid non aumenta come ci si sarebbe atteso. 16

30 Nuovi paradigmi formativi A partire dalla scuola EPIKH che si terrà in Giordania a fine Novembre, saranno inaugurati tre nuovi format educativi: –Format per la creazione di una Federazione di Identità, di un Identity Provider e di un Service Provider; –Format per sviluppatori di portlet relative ad applicazioni da inserire in Science Gateway; –Format per utenti finali ai quali verranno fatte usare, dipendentemente dal loro dominio scientifico, le applicazioni già presenti negli Science Gateway; Per la prima volta, non saranno esposti né la Grid Security Infrastructure ed i certificati né le specificità del middleware. 30

33 Giustificazione inventariabile per GILDA Svecchiamento hardware obsoleto: –Le ultime macchine assegnate a GILDA sono state quelle dismesse dal CNAF alcuni anni fa; –Molte macchine sono a 32 bit e non consentono l’installazione di versioni recenti di servizi gLite/EMI (es.: CREAM-CE); al momento diversi servizi sono installati su macchine virtuali che girano su macchine reali molto… «deboli»; –Alcune delle nuove macchine sono previste ospitare server virtuali con Liferay per lo sviluppo di Science Gateway durante le scuole grid e nell’ambito dei progetti CHAIN e GISELA. 33
