European Commission, DG INFSO
HealthGrid meeting (20/09/2002, Brussels)
Overview• The Grid solution
• RTD efforts in Europe - an overview
• Current effort in FP5 IST-Programme of the EU
• New IST initiatives are starting soon - new trends
• Synergies, clustering of efforts
• Migrating to the EU FP6 for Research
• Grids in FP6 - context and important priorities
• Some conclusions
The Grid solution A middle-ware layer that provides for the effective harnessing
of information resources available world-wide making them accessible as a single resource for every user on the web
Resources can be of any information type (computing, storage, networking, visualization etc)
Access to them is provided in a secure, seamless, coordinated, dynamic & inexpensive way
Forming dynamic Virtual Organisations
RTD efforts in Europe - an overview•Foster cohesion, interoperability, cross-fertilization of knowledge, economies of scale, critical mass

New test-bed deploymentsExamples:
•Across 6 sites in Europe• Applications: Shipbuilding, Automotive, Power-generation, Gas turbine, Train-aerodynamics
1. FLOWGRID (Computational Fluid Dynamics VO and test-bed)
•Across 10 sites in Europe•Clinical, bio-medical applications •Integration of Legal aspects•Focus on new business-models for medical services provision
2. GEMSS (Clinical VO and test-bed)
Call-8 proposed work: an evolution of trends
• Data-Grids, meta-data schemes•
• Integration of data-resources on knowledge level (ontology-based methods, Semantic Web concepts)
• Grid-functionality into Web-services, OGSA-concepts
• User customization of service, easy and device-rich user access
• Integration in business models, support to broader range of business roles
• New application areas; RTD effort more focused
Summary: Today’s Reality
• Unprecedented degree of co-operation on technology level between key user communities
- User communities is a European strength! -
• First pilot test-beds across Europe - significant middle-ware developments in the EU - international links - collaboration with GEANT
• Link to and integration of National Grid-Programmes
• Towards more European consensus at GGF
Catalytic activity: synergies, clustering of effort, critical mass!
Will a broad scale commercial adoption happen?

Grids in FP6: Tomorrow’s future
• A new class of Grid-based infrastructure across Europe
• A new generation of services over the Internet - variety of implementations, interoperable solutions (open
systems, open architectures) -
...with Europe always at the frontline of technology development, use
World scale collaborations, access to “infinite” information power, new ways to share and create knowledge to be new key facilities
Some important FP6 priorities
• Create RTD-efforts to reach high level and ambitious objectives - mobilize National, private funds
• From prototype to production level systems (industrial quality); promote commercial uptake of technology
• Research on new concepts (Semantic Grids, Grids and the Web, Mobile Grids, Ambient Intelligence Spaces)
• Strengthen middle-ware developments in Europe (Academia-Industry collaboration, skills)
• Involve new User/Application communities
• Close ties with National efforts (National Grid Centres?)
• Strengthen International role of Europe - impact standards

Some conclusions...
• Grid-technologies deployment: in front of a critical phase
• Creation of critical mass in the context of RTD (synergies, clustering etc): of key importance
• Research and Deployment of Grids in Europe and the world: a central theme of the EU 6th Framework Programme for Research
Your ideas and work is the Programme!
