The Essence of e-Science
What is e-Science?Invention and exploitation of advanced computational methods
to generate, curate and analyse research data From experiments, observations and simulations Quality management, preservation and reliable evidence
to develop and explore models and simulations
Computation and data at extreme scales Trustworthy, economic, timely and relevant results
to enable dynamic distributed virtual organisations
Facilitating collaboration with information and resource sharing Security, reliability, accountability, manageability and agility
e-Science >> Grid & Web Services It is what you do with them that counts
Fundamental & Growing Assets
Understanding of Processes & RequirementsInternational and Multi-disciplinary Skill baseExperience composing & adapting existing technologies
and of building new components
Experience Supporting Developers and UsersExperience Establishing Virtual Organisations across Enterprise boundaries
Embedded in People & Teams, Growing – they need nurture
Primary Multi-Enterprise Issues
Combining subsystems built independently in different enterprisesDeploying, Starting and Managing Applications and Production Operations
Using a set of combined facilitiesIndependently builtAutonomously managed
Developing software independentlyExpecting to integrate later
All for VO communities that retain independence
Assume Benefits of Shared Infrastructure:How much?One size fits all?
