NESSI-Grid Strategic Research Agenda
The Networked European Software and Services Initiative (NESSI) aims to create a strategic research agenda for European research in services and their foundations. NESSI-Grid forms part of that activity by defining a vision and strategic research agenda (SRA) for grid infrastructures used in business environments and in particular in NESSI scenarios. This collaborative zone describes the open process that will be implemented to extend participation in the development of the NESSI-Grid SRA to external members of the consortium, mainly focusing on the relevant players and experts within the Grid Community.
In the context of NESSI-Grid, Grid is defined as the adaptive service-oriented utility infrastructure for arbitrary business applications, primarily aimed at providing business flexibility in the most efficient way. Typically, business applications do not exist as independent executables but involve a complex technology stack, containing for example application servers, databases, other middleware components and other co-existing and cooperating business applications. In addition, usage patterns are often interactive or session-based. The scope of research and development in business grids covers the development of middleware that provides an ITC infrastructure to support business applications; from the basic services of the infrastructure to the support for process provisioning, monitoring, integration and outsourcing. That includes research on service computing, utility computing, virtualization, SLAs, stable and safe architectures data management, knowledge and analysis services, service flow description, dynamic VOs, …
