INFN is involved in several EU and National Grid
projects (EGEE-II, EGI-DS, OMII-Europe,
EUMed/China/IndiaGrid, EELA, BioinfoGRID, IGI,
LIBI, etc.)
INFN is leading the Middleware Engineering activity
in EGEE-II (and its successor EGEE-III)
INFN is involved in all of the 5 WPs of the
CYCLOPS project
Its main role in CYCLOPS is leading the WP2, i.e.
coordinating with the EGEE activities
A significant role played in WP4 too, i.e. defining
research and innovation strategies for a einfrastructure for Civil Protection applications
WP2 objectives
From the DoW:





4
CYCLOPS main goal is “to bridge the gap between
Grid and CP communities”
WP2 aims “to carry out CP and Grid communities
inter-dissemination” (project objective 5)
Operational goals:
“Tutorial on EGEE platform for Civil Protection
agencies”
“Civil Protection framework and EGEE coordination”
 to establish a two way communication channel
between CYCLOPS and EGEE projects

1st CYCLOPS Training Workshop held in Bologna the 1113 April 2007
Agenda and training material available under the “Events”
menu of the project web site www.cyclops-project.eu
A complete report is available in the First Training

renewed at least once
•> 100 tutorials and demos performed
in 21 months
•> 1,000,000 hits (> 50,000 unique
visits) on (of) the web site from 10’s

It suffered the delay in the transfer of funds from EC to DPC
and from this to Partners (ANPC and TEI-CR could not attend)
Delivered at PM11 (April ‘07) instead of PM7
14 participants (DPC, EMA, CNR-IMAA and INFN represented)
First half day of workshop on CYCLOPS activities, then grid
tutorial with theory and hands-on
Positively evaluated by participants through questionnaire
Task 2.1 results and future plans

Measure of success according to DoW:
–
Number of training events  1
–
Number of attendees at training events  14
–
Questionnaire for self-evaluation of training events 
average score = 5/6
(1:poor, 2:insufficient, 3:fair, 4:good, 5:very good, 6:excellent)

Plans for next period:
–
DPC/IMAA/INFN team attending the “INFN School for
porting new applications to grid”, 12-23 November 2007
–
the goal is to port RISICO application to grid
–
the next training workshop, to be held close to a CP
community event to broaden the audience, will include the
RISICO porting experience as a practical example
Task 2.2 activities so far

Task 2.2 results and future plans
 Measure of success according to DoW:
–
Number and impact of feedback provided by CYCLOPS to EGEE
 presence at 3 EGEE conferences and 1 TEG meeting
–
Timeliness of information about new middleware functionalities
implemented by EGEE project  no significant functionalities
added to gLite after the training workshop, but cyclops VO
resources kept continuously updated w.r.t. middleware upgrades
 Plans for next period:
14
–
Report to TEG annual meeting and next EGEE events (EGEE
User Forum in February 2008) the results of WP3 and WP4
activities, most notably the “EGEE Request for Enhancement”
document (D14)
–
Keep running the cyclops VO infrastructure and open it to support
RISICO and Flash Flood prototype applications

Conclusions

Grid concepts and the EGEE middleware services
have been disseminated in several occasions
–
–


16
Towards a wide heterogeneous Civil Protection related
audience (at the Project Open Conference)
Towards CYCLOPS partners (at the Training Workshop and
at several technical meetings)
A more focused training action, aiming to investigate
grid integration approaches and prototyping the
selected use-cases is planned for the next period
CYCLOPS feedback to EGEE planned at next User
