Special Invited Talk Dr. Steven Newhouse Gathering e-Infrastructure Requirements to Support e-Research During Summer 2004 a selection of research groups in the UK e-Science programme were interviewed to gain an improved understanding as to the challenges they were finding in using the Grid. The results of this work 'State of Grid Users: 25 Conversations with UK e-Science Groups' have been widely disseminated. Two years on we reflect on the impact of this work. A greater user focus within the Open Middleware Infrastructure Institute (OMII) UK project and within the National Grid Service are two aspects that will be considered - along with a greater understanding by middleware providers as to the complex user community they are trying to serve. Capturing requirements from these communities has become a significant activity within OMII-UK.
Dr Steven Newhouse is Director of the Open Middleware Infrastructure Institute UK (OMII-UK), a partnership between middleware activities at the Universities of Edinburgh, Manchester and Southampton. Before the formation of the OMII-UK in January 2006 he was Deputy-Director of the OMII at Southampton. He has been active in the UK e-Science programme since its inception in July 2001 previously as Technical Director of the London e-Science Centre. |
