EchoGRID Major Goals
Foster collaboration in Grid research and technologies by defining short-, mid-, and long-term vision in the field
Establish a common Grid Collaboration Roadmap, relying on European and Chinese experts, both from academia and industry;
Consolidate this vision and promote cross-fertilisation between Grid-related projects and initiatives in Europe and China by interacting with the GRID research and industrial communities;
Exchange experiences and best practices by selecting Grid Open Standards for Grid middleware and applications interoperability and by promoting the identification of guidelines for building a Standard Quality Assurance Process
Future Perspective Workshop – OGF 23 Barcelona – 5th June 20085
EchoGRID Outcomes
3, 5 and 10 years roadmaps developing a shared European and Chinese vision of future GRID research perspectives for both research and industrial communities on which both sides may collaborate;
a EU-China Interoperability Grid Plugtests to test and improve interoperability mechanisms of Grid middleware;
a series of conferences and workshops open to both European & Chinese participants from research, industry, government, SMEs and user communities;

Chinese perspective
China’s Medium to Long Term Plan for the Development of Science and Technology (2006 - 2020):
released in early 2006, calls for China to become “an innovation oriented nation” by the year
2020 and a world leader in science and technology by 2050.
China will – invest 2.5% of its increasing gross domestic product (GDP) in
research and development (R&D) by 2020, up from 1.34% in 2005; – derive more than 60% of economic growth from technological
advance; – limit its dependence on imported technology to no more than 30%
(from 50%); – become one of the top 5 countries in the world in the number of
invention patents granted to Chinese citizens and in the number of citations to Chinese authored scientific papers.

Cooperation mechanisms
Develop gateways, Develop common components, Test interoperability, Develop common standards, Use common security and certification infrastructure
supported by the IGTF, Establish common controlled vocabularies for policies and
semantically rich descriptions, Agree common accounting mechanisms, Establish an international governance institution.
Future Perspective Workshop – OGF 23 Barcelona – 5th June 200816
Ways of roadmapping
By dividing the grid technological issues into six specific areas
New programming paradigms Grid architectures Grid management Virtual organisations The component model Workflow – business progress
By defining the expected progresses along the roadmap at three points
In three, Five, and Ten years.
Future Perspective Workshop – OGF 23 Barcelona – 5th June 200817
New programming paradigms
• Corba-like extensions to grids• RMI, socket –based
communitications• MPI
• Too many architectural details are exposed to programmers
• Difficulties in learning
• Unconventional approaches: Chemical programming; Autonomic Element Programming (exploiting Web 2.) , Pipe-based Programming (GSML – funnel)
• China– NSFC, 863, 973
• EU– More generally on “services”– Coregrid NoE initiatives
• Echogrids recommends– Support long-term research– Joint unconventional and grid
programming approaches
Future Perspective Workshop – OGF 23 Barcelona – 5th June 200818
Grid architectures
• OGSA and WSRF
• Lack of clear architectural model lead to wrong implementing assumptions
• Service-oriented Frameworks
• Resembling Enterprise Service Bus architecture
• Fully covered– “Software & Services– Architectures and
InfrastructuresPrograms and recommendations
• Echogrid recommends– Put effort in dynamism– Emphasize the development of
WS standards for grids (also supporting backwards compatibility)
– Develop open source competitors for tools supporting distribute SOA infrastructures (e.g. WebSphere)
Future Perspective Workshop – OGF 23 Barcelona – 5th June 200819
Grid management <management of grid through a “Utility” model>
• Several initiatives – EU( e.g.UK NGS)– China (iVCE, CNGrid, SDG,
etc)– SDO initative (OGF on
management area)
• Ideas and challenges:– Standardization and prototype– Declarative semantics based
management– Autonomic Grid management
• On-going projects both from EU and China
• Some SDO initiatives (OGF, OASIS, etc)
• Echogrid recommends– Explicite Grid management in
next FP7 and 863 programs– Take into consideration Telco
standards inputs– ETSI as standardisation and
regulatory body for Member States
Future Perspective Workshop – OGF 23 Barcelona – 5th June 200820
Virtual organisations
• VO – includes user/role management, resource
management, trust and security management functionalities
– should have the properties including: dynamic, QoS guarantee and scalable,
– wishes to exist stably for any (short or longer) time, it should have a business model
• Limitations– Supporting from the underlying OS and
Grid middleware– Supporting of commercial applications– Underlying administration facilities for
VO bootstrapping• Current VO lacks some good properties
for better resource sharing and better user usages:
– Consuming too much resources, heavy-weighted;
– QoS guarantees– Dynamic mechanisms– Scalability
• Many FP7 and 863 projects have new VO models and functionalities as part of their objectives
• Echogrid recommends– a clear definition of VO
framework– advanced functionalities of VO
except for semantic support– semantic support in VO should
be realized
Future Perspective Workshop – OGF 23 Barcelona – 5th June 200821
Workflow – business process
• Several implementation and model exists
• However:– gap between the business
process decision-maker and the application developer
– very difficult to precisely compare and evaluate the performance
– QoS-based resource scheduling, service selection and service composition, and the co-ordination of different distributed workflow
• Several ideas and running experiences
• Keywords present in both programs, – as part of other challenges
• Echogrid recommends EU and China– To identify a research challenge
on workflow/Business process per se
– To boost grids to take into consideration workflow and business process issues
– To investigate new approaches to merge high (different) level of abstraction workflows
Future Perspective Workshop – OGF 23 Barcelona – 5th June 200822
Component Model
• Component-based model effective to tackle SW complexity
• However:– Some component too complex– Dynamic allocation of components
to run– Programming Language complexity
• Open issues:– light-weight component model for
grids– Supporting service composition– Standard platform independent
model– Combine Aspect-oriented– Quality control on SW
• FP7 – CoreGrid NoE and 863 support some of these aspects
• Echogrid recommends– To clarify the relations
between component model and service model
– EC and Chinese cooperation of open issues
