1 H2020 EUB 2015 EU-Brazil Research and Development Cooperation in Advanced Cyber Infrastructure NCP Training Brussels, 18 September 2014

2 H2020 EUB 2015 This topic is a major element for the implementation of EU-Brazil cooperation in the area of future networks and e-infrastructures, with the objective of developing common positions, standards and interoperable systems. It aims as well at reinforcing the mechanisms for an efficient definition and implementation of joint R&D actions. Coordinated proposals with balanced participation of EU and Brazilian partners should make a substantial contribution to the identified themes indicating the benefits of a joint effort.

3 H2020-EUB-2015 Publication date: 15 October 2014 Deadline: 21 April 2015 at CET Overall indicative budget: 7 M Additional eligibility criterion: Proposals submitted to this call which do not include coordination with a Brazilian proposal will be considered ineligible. The proposed project duration shall not exceed 36 months

6 H2020 EUB 2015 EU-Brazil Research and Development Cooperation in Advanced Cyber Infrastructure EUB1: Cloud computing, including security aspects Contact: Maria Tsakalis European Commission, DG CONNECT Software & Services, Cloud Computing

7 EUB EUB1 2015: Cloud Computing, including security aspects Specific Challenge: data are motivating a profound transformation in the culture and conduct of scientific research in every field of science and engineering. Advancements in this area are required in terms of cloud-centric applications for big data, as well as in creating novel cloud technologies that provide effective utilization and optimization of heterogeneous resources (such as storage and communications) in big data scenarios, in particular addressing privacy, security and other Quality-of-Service issues* * In line with statement of EU Heads of State and Governmnet in October

8 EUB EUB1 2015: scope Research and Innovation Actions (RIA) The focus of the joint research will be the development of innovative technologies combining advanced Clouds and Big Data approaches to address the challenges stemming from different application domains in business and societal contexts. The technologies developed should take into account interoperability and data portability issues and aim towards future standardization Coordinated and Support Actions (CSA) One CSA for the research coordination and policy activities, including research roadmapping and supporting further future common activities, i.e. dissemination, organisation of workshops, preparation of future coordinated call topics, etc. 8

9 EUB Expected impact The joint EU-Brazil research will develop innovative technologies in the area of cloud based service provision by integrating approaches and aspects of distributed Clouds and Big Data This collaboration will facilitate policy coordination in the relevant areas between the EU and Brazil, subsequently to be expanded to other LAC partners. In particular: Facilitate the development of cloud-enabled applications through robust standardized global technologies Development of technologies integrating cloud and big data in terms of architecture, middleware and services Joint contributions to International Standardization and/or Forum activities 9

10 EUB Types of Action Research and Innovation Actions: proposals requesting a EU contribution of 1.5 million would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately. Total indicative budget = 3.0 million Coordination and Support Actions: proposals requesting a EU contribution of 0.5 million would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts 10

13 EUB /2 Subtopic EUB2 2015: High Performance Computing (HPC) Scope the development of state-of-the-art HPC environment that efficiently exploits the HPC resources in both the EU and Brazil and advances the work on HPC applications in domains of common interest Specific focus application work of HPC on societal challenges and in areas such as transport, energy, environment, climate, health and bio-sciences, prediction and simulation of natural disasters, disaster prevention and crisis management, urban development, etc.

14 EUB /2 Expected impact Applications benefitting from this environment could have a direct impact in a number of fields of common interest such as climate change, natural resources management, bio and life sciences Increase efficiency in the usage of expertise and HPC e-infrastructures that exploit the computational, communication and data resources existing on both sides of the Atlantic Improved co-operation of EU-Brazil academia on advanced computing for HPC application development Improved sharing of information and expertise to solve societal problems with the use of advanced computing Enhanced co-operation of industries in the relevant application areas, in EU and Brazil Improvement in early warning of natural disasters.. Instruments, funding level and budget Research & Innovation Actions, Funding level: 100%, Budget: 2 M

16 H2020 EUB 2015 EU-Brazil Research and Development Cooperation in Advanced Cyber Infrastructure EUB 3: Experimental Platforms Contact: Jorge Pereira European Commission - DG CONNECT Experimental Platforms

17 EUB /2 Subtopic EUB 3: Experimental Platforms Objective and Scope The objective of cooperation in the area of Experimental Platforms is to enable and promote the federation of experimental resources irrespective of their localization in Brazil and in Europe, with a view towards global experimentation across heterogeneous networks, both wired and wireless, and a variety of end-systems. Specific focus The focus is on building upon current tools and platforms in support of end-to-end experimentation, creating a pool of, and giving open access to, shared experimental resources that complement and supplement those available in each continent. Linking to existing FIRE facilities is a requirement.

18 EUB /2 Expected impact Improving access to, and broadening the scope of, experimental facilities, as well as promoting experimentally-driven research with end-user involvement. Instruments, funding level and budget Research & Innovation Actions, Funding level: 100%, Budget: 1,5 M

20 EUB Why Experimentation? Systems are too complex, too heterogeneous, too "connected" to be analysed or even simulated We need to test them, i.e., experiment in the real world, under real conditions, with real traffic/load and real users No one, even the largest corporations can afford to assemble much less operate the "entire" system to be able to test/assess their solutions, developments, improvements Jorge Pereira FIRE+ in H

21 EUB Experimental Facilities Thus the need for large-scale, heterogeneous, distributed, federated or integrated, shared, open testbeds Open to researchers and external experimenters, including application developers and users to promote testing and validation and potentially accelerate standardisation Obviously, this comes with an overhead, cf. individual testbeds This goes beyond connectivity, to include common tools for scheduling, access control, separation/isolation, monitoring and reporting, benchmarking,... Jorge Pereira FIRE+ in H

22 EUB FIRE in FP7 Common approach to experimentation as integral part of R&D Common methodologies and tools were developed and gained support across a whole range of areas, from low-layer networking to high-layer applications and services. Contractual facilities Involving only partners in the associated project External experimenters sponsored to experiment via Open Calls To stretch the facilities, in terms of scope, performance, applications To develop and test methodologies and tools External experimenters, including Industry and namely SMEs, came to test and validate their solutions/products Open Access (BonFIRE, CREW) + SMEs (Fed4FIRE) Jorge Pereira FIRE+ in H
