Standards

The main strategic objective of SIENA is to accelerate and co-ordinate the adoption and evolution of interoperable DCIs through engagement with other SDOs and major stakeholders to forge community agreements on best practices and standards for distributed computing.

Specifically, SIENA seeks to:

  1. Drive forward the development and adoption of interoperability and standards for eInfrastructure implementation in relation to the European DCI community.
  2. Develop the future research infrastructure scenario through roadmapping exercises in line with requirements from both academia and industry, connecting into relevant SDOs to drive forward the production of relevant standards and best practices.
  3. Support, plan and organise a series of outreach events comprising two roadmap workshops in Europe and two Cloudscape events.

The main output of the project will be the roadmap on “Grids and Clouds for Research and for Public Services” through close liaison with the EC.
