Deliverables

Documents, reports (26)

ESDC (preliminary) implementation plan
Analysis of compute load, data transfer and data storage anticipated as required for SKA Key science
Growing the ESDC community

Report recommending the elements of a user interaction model for the ESDC that will be required to grow the SKA science community in Europe beyond the current SKA membership.

Federated AAI pilot results

The document will describe the outcomes of piloting activities conducted to test the realization of the AAI infrastructure defined in D6.1.

Set of defined AENEAS KPIs
Survey report

Survey of existing user interaction models for traditional and next generation radio telescope facilities, with an emphasis on distributed service delivery models in a European context.

Preliminary System sizing report
Applicability of VO framework

Report on the potential for VO to be a central part of the ESDC software stack. Answering questions such as those above and addressing the recommendations from WP5.2 and WP5.3

"Design recommendations #2"

Recommendations on the design of user interfaces for data processing, re-processing, analysis, and visualization for the ESDC

Global network architecture and costing

Architecture and cost model for World-wide network for SKA

Best practice Data transport and storage

Best practice recommendations Data moving applications, protocols and storage

AENEAS Service Portfolio

Leveraging the project findings and the services of existing e-Infrastructure catalogues, the deliverable will describe the services of the AENEAS Service Portfolio, the portfolio structure and the service portfolio management procedures adopted in the project.

Gap analysis

The gap analysis will be limited to an identification of gaps. Detailed analysis of the gaps will take place in the other tasks (WP5.2 to WP5.6) and will lead to recommendations in key areas.

Final integration of WP5 materials

Final integration of WP5 materials into the ESDC design.

ESDC User Requirements

ESDC user requirements document

AAI requirements and AAI architecture design

The deliverable will present the SKA requirements and trust model, the proposed AAI architecture with the respective functional components needed to meet these requirements.

"Design recommendations #1"

Recommendations for the design of user interfaces for data discovery, access, and retrieval for an ESDC

SRC federated service management recommendations

The document will analyse different approaches, standards, best practices and processes necessary to manage the services in a geographically distributed network of SRCs while ensuring interoperability and seamless delivery of services to the end-users.

Report on suggested solutions to address each of the key software areas associated with running a distributed ESDC
Report on suggested solutions to interface requirements for a distributed ESDC
Inventory of potential ESDC resources

Final Inventory - after review & selection of the most suitable options.

ESDN network architecture and costing

Architecture and cost model for European ESDN network

Data Transport Tests and Recommendations

Report on Data Transport Tests and Recommendations
