E,

EC-ESA framework agreement

In force since mid 2004 aiming at the coherent development of an overall European Space Policy

– Respond to demand for services and applications using space systems

– supply of space systems and infrastructure necessary to meet that demand

– A common basis for an efficient and mutually beneficial cooperation between the parties

Special attention on– Galileo (European satellite-based position system– GMES – Global Monitoring for Environment and

Security– …

Key events– Earth Observation Summit (feb 2005)– European Space Councils …

CWE Overview - 2

Current Activities… and Ideas

• One stop shop for data - Future activities that build on transparent sharing of dispersed data and data products (discovery, browsing, retrieval, processing and display)

• Generalisation of Virtual Organisation Management

• Security issues (Authentication, Authorisation,Accounting, Encryption, Control)

• ICT technologies: DL, Semantic, Wireless & Sensor web, Grid & Web Services, workflow, video conferencing tools, etc.

Grid on

Demand

Challenge communities: Earth Science, Environment, e-gov

THE VOICE: e-collaboration

THEmatic Vertical Organisations and Implementation of Collaborative Environments–Assessment of needs, technology capabilities and generation of prototypes for 4 communities

–Generic and community specific collaboration services

• Open Agriculture Services (forest and vineyards)• GMES Open Architecture for urban• e-calibration – validation for the ozone community• Integration of science and operational ocean

community

–Funded by ESA strategic actions–Based on industrial development

E,

e-collaboration at 3 levels:– Communication layer– Infrastructure for sharing of data/tools– Collaboration at application environment

Based on Virtual Organisation for:– the e-science community – the value adding industry

Technologies of interests:– The Internet and improved communication – Sensor Web, Wireless Technologies– Web-Services, Grid– Semantic Technologies and Ontologies – Workflow Management Technologies– Virtual Reality or Augmented Reality– Standards (OGC, W3C, …)

• DIgital Library Infrastructure on Grid ENabled Technology

•3 years FP6-IST project (started sept 04), 6.3 M€ funded•Based on Grid and Digital Library Technologies

• Main objectives of the testbed: •To provide dynamic e-Science virtual organisations

(VOs) access to shared knowledge•To allow e-Science VOs to collaborate in a secure,

coordinated, dynamic and cost-effective way

• Two application scenarios•ARTE – cultural heritage domain• ImpECt Scenario - Implementation of Environmental

Conventions with potential exploitation in Long Term Data Preservation

Conclusions

Collaborative Working Environment represents a key technology platform for Space related science and industrial applications–Integration of various emerging generic and specialised technologies

–Practical response to Virtual (distributed) and Vertical (sectorial) communities needsThank You!
