Working Group Presentation
Context
 
NESSI identifies the adoption of Service Oriented Business Models as a fundamental shift that is necessary to change the European economy into “the world's most dynamic and competitive knowledge-based society” . This paradigm shift manifests itself by the evolution of business models from the sale of products to the provision of electronic services”, where services are seen as utilities that can be used but that are not owned by users. Ultimately, this shift will mean transforming the Internet to service the daily life of citizens, businesses and organizations.
 
Enabling this paradigm shift, it is clear that a new generation of ubiquituous and converged network and service infrastructures is required that support construction and deployment of highly scalable, flexible, manageable, context-aware, ubiquous, dependable and secure services.
 
The Service Oriented Infrastructure WG is focused on research topics around the lower level infrastructure component services run on. This component services can be composed and orchestrated to support processes which will be ultimately delivered to the user through an user/service adaptive interaction layer.
 
Mission
 
The Service Oriented Infrastructure WG is focused on the new generation of ITC infrastructures that will support development and execution of component services and their provision as utilities. It will focus on designing a detailed research agenda on the following areas:
  • Service abstraction and virtualisation: Architectures, languages and tools that enable (1) provision of services as utilities supporting different levels of abstraction and virtualisation of resources, dynamic monitoring of SLAs that are internal to service containers and the dynamic reallocation of services; (2) reliable, multi-protocol dynamic binding, with endpoint virtualisation; (3) user device based ownership and management of profiles, service runtime properties, histories and content investigating the adoption of semantic technologies; (4) any device as a service endpoint: evolution to complex and extremely distributed scenarios on very different scales of machines, starting from Grid based systems down to PDAs and RFIDs; (5) multi-scale challenges, including architectural (organizing and structuring systems at different scales using component-based middleware and software engineering) and algorithmic (P2P algorithms and systems) for adapting the infrastructure to domain specific needs.
  •  Inherently Stable and Safe Architectures: Research, identify, and document principles and architectures that confer a high degree of stability, predictability, and trust to infrastructures and related deployed systems when considered from an end-to-end perspective. Also includes an analysis of those elements most contributing to a lack of reliability.
  • Decision Support and Automation tools for IT Service Management: Development of automation and decision support tools aimed at improving the efficiency and effectiveness of IT service delivery and support including modelling, simulation and optimisation. This includes the following aspects: (1) IT Service and Resource Models (model IT changes and their dependencies), (2) Risk and impact analysis (assess IT failure/changes risk and impact), (3) IT Planning (how to better plan for IT services); (4) advanced and optimised resource scheduling and allocation/reallocation mechanisms.
  • Technology bases for wide scale computing utility: new generation of operating systems for resources virtualisation, dynamic composition, allocation and support for autonomic behaviour, including computing, storage and networking with the aim of data-centres virtualisation.

NESSI-Grid SRA v3.0

The NESSI-Grid Consortium has just released the third version (SRA v3.0) of the NESSI-Grid SRA. The main goal of version 3 of this SRA is to provide a detailed roadmap analysis for the identified research challenges, including recommendations for researchers, industry and policy makers about the relevance and timeline of the identified research challenges.

This version was made subject to a broad community review process. The community involvement process was extensive and rather successful. Visit the SOI-NWG Wiki page for more details.

Community Involvement Process for NESSI-Grid SRA v3.0

The NESSI-Grid Consortium has just released a draft (v2.5) for the third version of the NESSI-Grid SRA. The main goal of version 3 of this SRA is to provide a detailed roadmap analysis for the identified research challenges, including recommendations for researchers, industry and policy makers about the relevance and timeline of the identified research challenges.

Contribution to SRA v3.0 is now open to any individual with relevant experience in the grid area. Visit the SOI-NWG Wiki page on the consultation process for more details.

Service Oriented Infrastructure NESSI Working Group meeting

Join us in Brussels on 21st of June 2007 to contribute to NESSI’s Strategic Research Agenda in the area of Service Oriented Infrastructures and Grids.

The event will also represent a major opportunity to participate in the definition of collaboration activities between EU research projects in the area of Grids (TG1 Grid architecture)

Participation in this event is open and free but pre-registration is compulsory.

GRID Collaboration Workshop - Sunday, May 20, 2007

A Workshop on “Collaboration activities and Concertation meeting preparation” was held in Brussels on the 27 March, 2007.

The objective of this meeting is two fold: on the one hand to start preparing the next Grid Technologies and Software Technologies projects concertation meeting, in order to hold them together; on the other hand, to revisit the overall set-up of the Grid projects Collaboration activities, as it might be necessary to redefine some of the tasks and /or reallocate some of the responsibilities as IPs launched after Call5 are now in full speed while some others, originating from Call2, are reaching the end this year.
 
At the same time, opportunities for collaboration between the Grid Technologies and the Software Technologies projects will be explored, and it particular how to best coordinate the activities planned by 3S, an SSAs originating from Call5 of "Software and Services", and those planned in the Collaboration activities of the Grid Project.
