D4Science vision
D4Science vision
calls for the realization of scientific e-Infrastructures that will remove technical concerns from the minds of scientists, hide all related complexities from their perception, and enable users to focus on their science and collaborate on common research challenges
gCube is
a framework to manage distributed e-infrastructures where it is possible to define, host, and maintain dynamic virtual research environments capable to satisfy the collaboration needs of distributed Virtual Organizations (VOs)

Virtual Research Environment (VRE)
VRE is a distributed highly dynamic environment for
• carrying out cooperative activities like data analysis and processing; data generation, integration, enrichment, and curation; production of new knowledge using specialized tools
• largely based on retrieval and access of always updated knowledge from diverse heterogeneous data sources
• produce knowledge that is preserved and made available for other usages inside and outside the VRE

Virtual Research Environments Resources
VRE environment is designed, dynamically deployed, and operated as a set of cooperating resources:
computing, storage VRE enabling middleware
Information system, monitoring, resource management and orchestration VRE services
content and storage management, discovery and access, … applications
mostly provided by the VOs collections of raw data, content, and metadata
enriched with schemas, mapping rules, transformation programs, relationships, …
processes defined to manage such resources

VREs: to enhance current procedures
The VRE integrated environment puts at disposal a functionality set which is not today available in Earth Science to support and perform research activities: examples are
the ability to process information on-demand ingesting the results,
to set-up further VREs opening to colleagues, to perform customized collection of information, to store user actions and exploit them for further use, to aggregate relevant information into ad-hoc
information sources and keeping them updated.

VREs: to enhance current procedures
Currently these steps are carried on manually, on different technologies and systems delaying the delivery of research results.
The planned VREs offer a dynamic set up and utilization of Virtual DL which are created for the specific scope defined by the users.
The focus, once again, is not in the processing, but in the dynamic allocation of resources.

Increase the resiliency (= decrease the vulnerability) of fisher communities (with respect to e.g.
Overfishing (by locals or intruders) Natural stock variability Natural hazards Global climate change
Taking into account external impacts e.g. Political and economic situations Cultural peculiarities Epidemiological situations

D4Science Mediation
Mediates over the definition, deployment, and maintenance of EGEE sites• VOs users management• Applications porting to the Grid and execution, e.g. Aquamaps data challenge
(>100k jobs, >10M compound products)• Applications integration, e.g. Landsat 7• Grid Services integration, e.g. ESA gPod MGVI
Support the definition, deployment, and maintenance of gCube sites for the creation and maintenance of VREs
• Resource description, monitor, and provision (GLUE, WSRP, WSDL, ..)• Dynamic selection, configuration, and secure resources exploitation in VREs
scope• Services orchestration (BPEL)• Data integration
• Support for compound objects, multiple metadata formats, mixed media annotation• Support for advanced information retrieval, fusion and merge of the result, access• Support for curation, transformation, and enhancement of data

D4Science Resources
D4Science provides seed resources • through the provision of 3 EGEE sites maintained by
technological partners (64 WNs, >100 cores)
D4Science supports communities • through SA and its production support team but the
maintenance of am EGEE site is still perceived too costly (number of updates and duties)
D4Science promotes communities VOs• through the establishment of agreements with other EGEE
VOs, e.g. csTCDie (Trinity College, Dublin)
