The main topic treated was about viable mechanisms and alternatives to
support the services and the platform. Define clearly the specific
services to be supported was another important point discussed. In this
regard, participants agreed that one of the most important contribution
of the GISELA project is the Science Gateway Portal, a web interface for
the applications installed in the Grid. This service must have a high
priority to be supported after GISELA. Others important services are:
maintenance of the infrastructure, integration of new application into the Science Wateway portal and disemination.
In this sense, some numbers of the needed staff have arisen. Measured in
person per month (PM), the following requirements have been pointed
out: 2PM for the operation of the platform, 1.5PM for the support to
users and 0.3PM for the Resource Centres operation.
Representatives from several NRENs (CUDI, CEDIA) have made an informal
offer to contribute with some resources to cover these necessities.
