  19. Official Identity Federationssupported by GISELA Science Gateway To be created on 26-30 November 2012 GISELA - Final Project Review - Brussels - 11/10/2012

  20. Training Material to create Federated Identity Services Especially developed in the context of GISELA Virtual Appliances included GISELA - Final Project Review - Brussels - 11/10/2012

  21. Creation of Federated Identity Services in LA • IdF Mexico (managed by UNAM) • Done in cooperation between GISELA and EPIKH • 2 persons came to Catania in July 2012 to learn and install the services • By end of November 2012, the Mexican federation will comprise: • UNAM • Universidad de Colima (UCOL) • Dirección General de Institutos Tecnológicos (DGIT) • CUDI • ... for a total of about 500,000 students and researchers ! • Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama • A training event to create federated identity services will take place in Bucaramanga on 26-30 November (fully paid by RENATA  a nice example of sustainability and commitment) • Future: • INFN will continue to assist and support LA countries to create federated identity services until the ELCIRA project will take over (ELCIRA started on the 1st of June 2012) GISELA - Final Project Review - Brussels - 11/10/2012

  22. eduGAIN(www.edugain.org) GISELA Science Gateway is also registered as Service Provider of eduGAIN GISELA - Final Project Review - Brussels - 11/10/2012

  23. The Grid IDentity Pool (GrIDP)(http://gridp.ct.infn.it) This is an “open” Identity Federation GISELA - Final Project Review - Brussels - 11/10/2012

  24. The Grid IDentity Pool (GrIDP)(http://gridp.ct.infn.it) While Identity Federation are being established in LA, single users as well as Identity Providers are welcome to join GrIDP to access and use the GISELA Science Gateway GISELA - Final Project Review - Brussels - 11/10/2012

  25. First set of considerations – Interoperability Interoperability is a property referring to the ability of diverse systems and organizations to work together (inter-operate). The term is often used in a technical systems engineering sense, or alternatively in a broad sense, taking into account social, political, and organizational factors that impact system to system performance; According to ISO/IEC 2382-01 (Information Technology Vocabulary, Fundamental Terms), interoperability is "The capability to communicate, execute programs, or transfer data among various functional units in a manner that requires the user to have little or no knowledge of the unique characteristics of those units".

  27. The CHAIN Worldwide Interoperability Demo GISELA contributions (WP3, 4 & 6) GISELA - Final Project Review - Brussels - 11/10/2012

  28. The demo “in action” • e-Infrastructures can be made interoperableatuser/applicationlevelusingstandards • Both general purpose and VRC-specificapplications can be submitted from anywhere and runeverywhere GISELA - Final Project Review - Brussels - 11/10/2012

  29. The demo “in action” • The GISELA Science Gateway iscompletely «agnostic» w.r.t. the middlewaredeployed in LA • No more technical (and political) barriers for a muchwideradoption of the e-Infrastructureparadigm GISELA - Final Project Review - Brussels - 11/10/2012

  30. Second set of considerations – Social Networks About 1 billion people have accounts on the existing Social Networks (many of the researchers we are targeting with e-Infrastructures are among them) Web-based social networking accounts for more than 10-15% of the total time spent online in the whole world Social Networks’ are by far the most used (liked) virtual environments in the world GISELA - Final Project Review - Brussels - 11/10/2012

  31. “Social” Science Gateways(www.facebook.com/pages/Catania-Science-Gateways/220075701389624) GISELA - Final Project Review - Brussels - 11/10/2012

  32. GISELA “social” Science Gateway(The Science Gateway as a Facebook app) SSO possiblethrough the Social Networks’ Bridge IdP GISELA - Final Project Review - Brussels - 11/10/2012

  33. Third set of considerations – Mobile Access (*) http://www.biztechday.com/mobile-stats-2011-91-use-mobile-phones-to-socialize More than 25% of mobile phones in the world are smartphones and the number of people connected through mobile appliances increases every year Social networking amounts to 91% of mobile internet access, compared to 79% on desktops, and it is expected that by 2014 mobile internet should take over desktop internet usage(*) So, mobile access to “everything” is not any more an option; it is a must and e-Infrastructures shouldn’t/won’t be an exception GISELA - Final Project Review - Brussels - 11/10/2012

  34. The “mobile” Authentication Procedure(REST API access to the GISELA Science Gateway) GISELA - Final Project Review - Brussels - 11/10/2012

  35. Big challenges are in front of us… Nowthatmanyusers can potentiallyaccess and use the GISELA Science Gateway, a new training and communicationstrategyisneededaswellas a portfolio of appealingapplications to attractthem How allthisisfeasible and sustainable in the future the leastpossiblecost ? GISELA - Final Project Review - Brussels - 11/10/2012

  38. Training for GISELA Science Gateway developers • New training material • New training tools: • New training events: • http://agenda.ct.infn.it/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=783 • http://agenda.ct.infn.it/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=784 GISELA - Final Project Review - Brussels - 11/10/2012

  39. GISELA Science Gateway developers task force • Composition: • Argentina: 1 • Brazil: 1 • Colombia: 9 • Ecuador: 2 • Italy: ~10 • Mexico: 6 • Spain: 2 • Uruguay: 1 • Venezuela: 7 • A tutorial for developerswill take place in Bucaramanga (Colombia) on 26-30 November(fully paid by RENATA  a nice example of sustainability and commitment) GISELA - Final Project Review - Brussels - 11/10/2012

  40. 184 Organisationsfrom 43 Countries Uptake of «Catania» Science Gateways • GISELA Science Gateway figures: • 174users(~700% increasesinceDec 2011; about • twice the currentnumber of members of the VO • and steadilyincreasing) • 75Organisations • 18countries GISELA - Final Project Review - Brussels - 11/10/2012

  41. Summary and conclusions (1/2) GISELA legacy builds on four pillars: standard adoption, simplicity, easiness of use and re-usability e-Infrastructures can be very useful platforms for many VRCs, provided that they are really easy to use and GISELA has demonstrated that this is not only feasible but also sustainable The federated identity based AAI services promoted/fostered/ established by GISELA will bring Latin American countries to the state of the art and will help CLARA and the NRENs in creating new services across the whole continent , shared with Europe and other regions of the world The GISELA Science Gateway, with itssupport for Identity Federations, Social Networks, and mobile accessischanging the way the LA Gridinfrastructureisused, hugelywideningitspotentialuser base, especially non-IT experts and the “citizen scientist”, yet keeping the required level of security The adoption of standards (JSR 286, SAGA, SAML, etc.) was a concrete investmenttowardssustainability and allowedworldwideinteroperabilityatuserapplicationlevel and re-usability of applicationsat the Science Gateway level GISELA - Final Project Review - Brussels - 11/10/2012

  42. Summary and conclusions (2/2) “We now have clear ideas and goals, the (standard-based) tools and a roadmap to achieve them, and the strength of choices largely shared and supported by other projects” (from GISELA 2nd review, 8/12/2011) In the last 10 monthsideaswereturnedinto reality and allgoalshavebeenachievedbut… …wehavedonemuch more thanthis: wenowhave a vision for the future of e-Infrastructure in Latin America whichisshared and financiallysustained by the mostimportantstakeholders in the region (i.e., CLARA and the NRENs) GISELA - Final Project Review - Brussels - 11/10/2012
