Goals Set in Seoul
  • Mission Statement
  • Ready by Supercomputing
  • Charter
  • Principles, Procedures, Expectations
  • Membership

8
Overarching Goals
Establish sustained collaborations and Advance
the use of the grid technologies for applications
among a community of investigators working with
leading institutions around the Pacific Rim
Working closely with established activities that
promote grid activities or the underlying
infrastructure, both in the Pacific Rim and
globally.
9
Mission
  • The mission is to establish sustained
    collaborations and to advance the use of grid
    technologies in applications among a community of
    investigators working with leading institutions
    around the Pacific Rim.
  • PRAGMA will work closely with established
    activities that promote grid activities or the
    underlying infrastructure, both in the Pacific
    Rim and globally.

10
Activities
-         Encourage and conduct joint
(multilateral) projects that promote the
development of grid facilities and technologies
in the Pacific Rim countries -         Share
resources to ensure project success -        
Conduct multi-site training in the use of grid
technologies methodologies to support
international collaborations -         Exchange
researchers between participating institutions
and promote exchange more broadly -         Meet
and communicate regularly -         Collaborate
with and participate in major regional and
international activities such as APAN, APGrid,
GGF -         Disseminate and promote knowledge
of using the grid among domain experts and
scientists - Disseminate proceedings and summary
of events and meetings on the world wide
web -         Provide and raise resource for
PRAGMA members to raise level of awareness and
funding for grid activities
11
Expected Outcomes
  • Advance scientific applications
  • Increase interoperability of grid middleware
  • Contribute to the development of international
    grid efforts
  • Increase productive and effective use of the grid
    by researchers and scientists in the Pacific Rim
  • Increase collaboration on the grid in the Pacific
    Rim
  • Increase grid activities within member countries,
    throughout PRAGMA and the world
  • Provide core resources and model testbeds for
    regional e-science projects

  • Articulate mission, activities, outcomes
  • Define membership
  • Set expectations for existing and potentially
    interested new participants
  • Establish key procedures

15
Key Principles and Understandings
  • Open to all institutions that align with the
    goals of PRAGMA
  • Individual and resources contributions are
    acknowledged
  • Promote open access to software and data
  • Decision making by consensus
  • Members bear cost of their own participation
  • Members encourage cooperation amongst themselves
    in implementation of PRAGMA,
  • Document not legally binding

16
Steering Committee
  • Initial Compositions
  • List in OPP, from Founding Institutional Members
  • Vote
  • One per institution
  • Responsibilities
  • Review applications for membership
  • Determine/maintain relationship to other groups
  • Review applications to host PRAGMA meetings
  • Set concrete milestones
  • Others
  • Proposed Structure
  • Chair / co-Chair

17
Types of Participants
  • Members, both for Institutions and for
    Individuals These are the institutions,
    organizations, consortiums of institutions or
    research groups, or individuals, who actively
    participate and have responsibilities, and who
    express support for and intentions to observe the
    provision of the OPP document.Normally
    universities or university based, publicly
    funded, not-for-profit research institutes
  • Observers These are institutions who are not yet
    ready to become members, but who can be involved
    in a mutually beneficial way. A possible example
    may be a institutions starting activities in the
    grid.
  • Affiliates These are institutions that have
    overlapping interests but are not eligible.
    Examples here include industry, or non-profit
    groups that do not have the resources to play the
    role of an active member
  • Subscriber Individuals who want to learn about
    PRAGMA by subscribing to the pragma-discussion
    list.

18
Balanced Growth
  • Growth is healthy
  • Need it balanced to maintain focus and community
    sense

19
Procedure to Add Participants
  • Steering Committee selects
  • Criteria (some)
  • Potential contribution to PRAGMA
  • Experience interacting on projects
  • Institution invited to attend meeting and submit
    application
  • Final decision by Steering Committee

20
Additional Organization Notes
  • Founding Members
  • Steering Committee Members
  • Members of PRAGMA, from Institutions who are
    members
  • Institutional Participants
  • May be that new institutional members are not
    represented (directly) on steering committee
