Science Driven Extensionsfor OSG

The Idea

• Have 12 FTE under the control of the Applications
  Coordinators in order to
• Work with science drivers to understand their
  application needs, and derive required
  enhancements of the capabilities of OSG, or of
  the way the applications use the OSG.
• The scope goes beyond just services to be
  deployed on the OSG infrastructure, and includes
  general tools required for applications to get
  their science done on OSG.
• Work with middleware providers on specs,
  development, testing, hardening, and applications
  integration.

Initial Focus Areas

• Data Storage Access Management
• VO specific services management use
• Advanced Workload and Workflow Management,
  Planning and Execution
• Security enhancements
• Advanced network integration services
• Be prepared for focus to change as OSG user
  community grows in diversity!

4
Goals for first 18 months

• Deliver role-based authorization and access
  control for storage for widespread deployment.
  Make sure that at least ATLAS, CMS, LIGO, plus
  one other benefit in day-to-day ops.
• Deliver SRM v2 that is widely deployed. Make sure
  that at least ATLAS, CMS, LIGO, CDF, D0, SDSS,
  plus one other benefit in day-to-day ops.
• Specify, develop, and deliver limited
  functionality VO specific services management
  infrastructure ready for widespread deployment in
  the facility. Make sure that at least ATLAS, CMS,
  D0, plus one other benefit in day-to-day ops.
• Specify, develop, and deliver a first generation
  audit system ready for widespread deployment in
  the facility.

5
Goals for first 18 months (cont.)

• Deliver a wms that supports late binding and
  opportunistic job scheduling. Make sure that at
  least ATLAS, CMS, plus one other benefit in their
  day-to-day ops.
• Deliver an enhanced version of VDS which is fully
  SRM aware, and capable of benefiting from the
  deployed storage infrastructure on the OSG. Make
  sure that at least LIGO, SDSS, DES, and GADU can
  incorporate this system into their day-to-day
  ops.
• Deliver specs and a first large scale prototype
  system that allows integration of network
  management tools into the distributed facility.

6
Goals for second 18 months

• Expand new capabilities beyond the initial sets
  of stakeholders.
• Focus significant effort on understanding
  robustness, reliability, efficiency, and ease of
  operations issues for the new capabilities.
• Deliver a first production system that introduces
  new network management tools into the distributed
  facility.
• Deliver the final auditing system for the
  remainder of the 5 year funding period of
• Expect to work with new communities of their
  needs etc.
