30 MAGIC project Middleware for collaborative Applications and Global Virtual Communities Objective (sub): Develop a model for inter-operation between NREN application markets of participating world regions, taking advantage of applications developed and run by NRENs across different continents to create a model for a worldwide application market for collaboration tools and services

31 MAGIC project: service catalogue Providing application/service sharing platform via a catalogue In implementation now Current services: collaboratorio, file sender, docuwiki Based on GEANT cloud catalogue

32 MAGIC project: service catalogue

33 Conclusion GRNET as Case study for national-level developments Regional integrations very important WACREN and related partners as centre of gravity for technology, but also community Path to worldwide infrastructures and integrations Globally different e-infrastructure solutions available to scientists Resource sharing is key: VI-SEEM VRE as an example MAGIC project will establish a global catalogue of applications/services WA can contribute its open services to the global pool
