coordination across the SIAs
TERENA GA Claudio Allocchio
Task Forces and Projects
A Task Force is a focused group with a specific charter, which
defines its objectives, its lifetime and the deliverables that the
group will produce
A Minor Project is a limited activity that produces specific
deliverables within a few months and that is (partially)
funded directly from TERENA‟s own resources
A Major Project is a larger activity covering a longer period.
Major projects are funded by additional contributions from
TERENA member organisations and possibly other sources
An External Project is an activity in which TERENA staff
members themselves take an active part and that is co-funded
by third parties such as the EU

".eu" TLD
We discussed at the TEC about the
involvement that TERENA should have
into the management of the coming ".eu"
TLD.
We strongly believe that TERENA role
should be to represent the R&E
community into its Policy Board.

TERENA GA Claudio Allocchio
FP6 - EGEE
What is EGEE ?
An Integrated Infrastructure Initiative (III) to create and deploy Grid
Technologies for e-Science and Industry
Objectives:
• integrating Grid technological developments from across Europe;
• establishing a Europe-wide Grid infrastructure for science and
industry with a focus on heterogeneity and interoperability;
• enabling the creation of e-Science applications from across the
scientific and industrial spectrum;
• ensuring the timely delivery of the project’s programme of work,
guided by the needs of academic and industrial partners.
TERENA GA Claudio Allocchio
FP6 - EGEE (2)
Participants (up to now):
Members from current Grid initiatives in Europe,
Research bodies, Universities, NRENs, …
( check the Position Papers at:
http://egee-ei.web.cern.ch/egee-ei/work_oct02.html )
TERENA proposed role:
• Major Disseminating partner in the Consortium
• A very good method to easily bridge between the
TERENA TFs activities and results relevant to Grids
(expecially Middleware) and the ongoing activities in
the Grid projects
TERENA GA Claudio Allocchio
FP6 - EGEE (3)
Where TERENA fits?
EGEE proposes a large number of Dissemination
Acitivites, both to the R&E community and to the
SMEs, and more.
TERENA will take over the training and dissemination
activities to the R&E community, including the NRENs,
Research Organisations and Univerisities,
complementing the one towards the SMEs and more.
TERENA GA Claudio Allocchio
FP6 - EGEE (4)
TTC and TEC recommend that TERENA takes part
in the proposal, and joins the Consortium,
partecipating as a contractor when the appropriate
FP6 call is issued.
Why?
• It follows the TAC and GA recommendation to be
involved and closely follow Grid activities
• It involves activities in line with the recommendation to
"close the gap" between the Campus and End users and
the NRENs activities
• It contributes the large TERENA TFs know how to the
other GRID active partners in a natural and "internal"
way.
TERENA GA Claudio Allocchio
FP6 - EGEE (5)
How?
Sending a declaration of intents to the EGEE coordinator
(Fabrizio Gagliardi, CERN)
Other questions:
Costs?
Labour?
…
We need to see FP6 call in order to know the details.
TERENA GA Claudio Allocchio
FP6 - ASTON
What is ASTON ?
A project aimed to study the next generation of lower layers (mostly
optical) networking, which also fits quite well into the future needs
of GÉANT. Some activities fit into the III pictures, too.
Activities :
• 1. Building a pan-European testbed infrastructure
• 2. Bandwidth on Demand (BoD)
• 3. Optical circuit (packet) switching
• 4. IP/Optical Network Management
• 5. Transport at 40 - 80 Gbit/s and higher
• 6. 10 Gbit/s Ethernet over long distances
TERENA GA Claudio Allocchio
FP6 - ASTON (2)
GÉANT needs:
• 10Gb Ethernet over long distance
• Simple layer2 provisioning
• Bandwidth on demand
• 40Gb line-speed
• Integrate IP and Optical management
TERENA GA Claudio Allocchio
FP6 - ASTON (3)
Participants (up to now):
Members of TF-NGN, but interests expressed
also from equipment providers (Juniper, Cisco,
Alcatel), carriers and universities
TERENA proposed role:
• Project Coordination and Dissemination Activities
• … but open for possible other Project Coordination
offers.
TERENA GA Claudio Allocchio
FP6 - ASTON (4)
TTC and TEC recommend that ASTON project is a major
interest of the TERENA community, and we should be
ready to submit a FP6 proposal in the appropriate area as
soon as this is possible.
More over there is currently a significant momentum in this
field, and, despite the problems in the Carriers industry
which made ASTON focus change into a FP6 long term
project, a very active group of TF-NGN members are
already organising Work Packages and structuring the
activity.
TERENA GA Claudio Allocchio
FP6 - ASTON (5)
How?
• TF-NGN Optical activities (leader Victor Reijs):
• Bandwidth on Demand, (Michal Przybilsky, PSNC)
• 10 GigE over long-distance, (Stanislav Sima, CESNET)
• Transport at 40 - 80 Gbit/s and higher (Mauro Campanella GARR)
• FP6 Research Networking Testsbeds (summer/fall
2003)
• FP6 III (December 2002) for some activities like BoD
TERENA GA Claudio Allocchio
FP6 - C2NRE2
What is C2NRE2 ?
The Expression of Interest which TERENA sent out immediately after the
June 2002 GA, to declare its interest in creating and coordination
Networks of Excellence.
Objectives:
– To create proactive collaborations among European research
organisations, campuses and top experts in the advanced networking
activities.
– to create a “Network of Excellence” to pull together the top experts in the
following areas:
Lower Layers Technology (Ipv6, MPLS, VPNs, Optical,…)
Quality of Service (DIFFserv, Premium Services,…)
Video-Conferencing, Streaming and IP Telephony
Content Delivery, Indexing and Searching (Portals, Semantic WEB,…)
Middleware (Security, Authentication, Authorisation, …)
Mobility (IP Roaming, Users’ Mobility,…)
GRIDs
TERENA GA Claudio Allocchio
FP6 - C2NRE2 (2)
TERENA proposed role:
… exactly what its Terms of Reference are
aimed to…
And to cluster a number of proposals for
NoE which just cover one specific field,
and overlaps with the existing TERENA
TFs and activities (examples in optical
networking, Middleware,…)
TERENA GA Claudio Allocchio
FP6 - C2NRE2 (3)
TTC and TEC believes that the NoE are a
quite good instrument to enhance the
already ongoing activities in the TERENA
SIAs, extending their penetration inside the
campuses and research organisations, as
suggested also by the GA and TAC
discussion in June 2002.
TERENA GA Claudio Allocchio
FP6 - C2NRE2 (4)
How?
Still a number of details being investigated;
Taking contacts with "single field" NoE proposals wich
are being made public;
…
