| Abstract | The GISELA objective is to guarantee the long-term sustainability of the European-Latin American e-Infrastructure and thus ensure the continuity and enhancement of the Virtual Research Communities (VRC) using it. The project will focus on: - Implementing the Latin American Grid Initiative (LGI) sustainability model rooted on National Grid Initiatives (NGI) or Equivalent Domestic Grid Structures (EDGS), in association with CLARA and collaborating with EGI; - Providing VRCs with the e-Infrastructure and Application-related Services required to improve the effectiveness of their research, addressing both: - Current EELA-2 small User Communities; - Larger VRCs through Specialised Support Centres (SSCs). The GISELA mission is twofold: - Ensure the sustainability of the EU-LA e-Infrastructure The sustainability of the EU part of the e-Infrastructure being cared of by EGI, GISELA will concentrate on its LA component. The tasks, at each level of the e-Infrastructure are: - Institution: Get all Services fully operational in the Resource Centre (RC); - Country: Implement all Grid Operation Centre (GOC) Services; - Continent: Implement all Grid & Network Support Centres (GSC, NSC) Services; - Support a catchall GOC. - Support Virtual Research Communities The support will encompass: User Support: - Provide access to the EU-LA Infrastructure to VOs represented in GISELA (HEP, Life Sciences, Earth Sciences, etc.); - Publicise and support the GISELA e-Infrastructure and Application Services; - Collaborate with VRCs or SSCs to the development of integrated services (e.g. gateways). Training & Dissemination activities - Organisation of tutorials for single users and VRCs; - Coordinate dissemination actions, workshops, Conferences; - Produce dissemination material. Grid Services for VRCs will be provided by CLARA on the basis of a business plan using a Life Cycle Product Management (LCPM) approach. |
