1 Grids, e-business and e-utilities Tony Hey Director of the UK e-science Core Programme EPSRC and DTI

2 The Grid as an Enabler for Virtual Organisations Ian Foster, Carl Kesselman and Steve Tueke The Grid is a software infrastructure that enables flexible, secure, coordinated resource sharing among dynamic collections of individuals, institutions and resources - includes computational systems and data storage resources and specialized facilities Enabling infrastructure for transient Virtual Organisations

4 IBM : Interview with Irving Wladawsky-Berger (August 2001) Grid computing is a set of research management services that sit on top of the OS to link different systems together We will work with the Globus community to build this layer of software to help share resources All of our systems will be enabled to work with the grid, and all of our middleware will integrate with the software

8 Timescales for Exploitation? IBM see early adopters of Grid technology coming from pharmaceutical, engineering and petrochemical sectors UK program confirms this picture (AstraZeneca, GSK, Merck, Pfizer, Rolls Royce, BAESystems, Schlumberger) IBM see Grid middleware being adopted by mainstream commerce and industry in 2003/2004 timeframe

9 HP and Grids The Grid fabric will be soft, dynamic, federated and heterogeneous: Soft share everything, failure tolerant Dynamic resources will constantly come and go, no steady state, ever Federated global structure not owned by any single authority Heterogeneous from supercomputer clusters to P2P PCs John Manley, HP Labs

10 Grid Computing is one of the three next big things for Sun and our customers Ed Zander, COO Sun The alignment of OGSA with XML Web services is important because it will make Internet-scale, distributed Grid Computing possible Robert Wahbe, General Manager of Web Services, Microsoft

11 Open Grid Services Architecture Development of web services OGSA will provide Naming /Authorization / Security / Privacy Higher level services: Workflow, Transactions, DataMining,Knowledge Discovery, Exploit Synergy: Commercial Internet with Grid Services

12 Collaborative Industrial Projects Grid Application Projects have more than 10M industrial input - mostly major pharmaceutical and engineering companies Around 16M allocated for collaborative industrial projects for Grid middleware/tools - at present 14M allocated with matching industrial funding - more than 50 companies involved
