Possible DESY Focus
Develop competence targeted at communities beyond the DESY LAN
- Target the HEP and Science communities at large — target University groups!
Grid Infrastructure, Deployment, Integration for DESY clientele and beyond:
- e.g. the HEP community at large in Germany, synchrotron radiation community
- This should eventually qualify for additional funding
DESY could become one of the driving forces for a science grid in Germany!
- Support Grid services providing standardized and highly capable distributed access to resources used by a science community
- Support for building science portals, that support distributed collaboration, access to very large data volumes, unique instruments, incorporation of supercomputing or special computing resources
- NB: HEP is taking a leadership position in providing Grid Computing for the scientific community at large: UK e-Science, CERN EDG and 6th Framework, US
