CNR-IIA (Institute of Atmospheric Pollution Research) coordinates the project and the following Work Packages:

  • WP1: “Coordination and Management”
  • WP2: “Requirements and System Architecture Design”
  • WP5: “Dissemination”.

Finally, CNR-IIA leads Task 3.1: “System of Systems middleware extension and integration” and Task 4.2: “General operation of the Web Portal”.

 

CNR-IIA provides the Brokering Framework, designed and developed first for EuroGEOSS and then enhanced for GEOSS, leading the activities for its extension to address the requirements posed by the other NextData infrastructure components (i.e.  the General Portal and Data Systems) .

CNR-IIA will disseminate the ND-SoS-Ina project results in the GEOSS Community as well as in the NSF EarthCube initiative.

CINECA(Consorzio Interuniversitario)  is the largest Italian supercomputing centre equipped with the most advanced hardware resources. CINECA’s mission is to enable, while facilitating, scientific researchers and private customers exploit HPC systems in a profitable way and to understand and anticipate future user needs.

The “Middleware for HPC Services” group, as part of the SuperComputing Applications and Innovation department, is  directly involved into the project bringing its experience and expertise in developing complex middleware systems.

Major contribution will be devoted to:

  • the implementation of the Web Portal (the NextData General Portal);
  • the deployment and hosting of the final service;
  • the enhancement of overall system performance.

CINECA will coordinate the development of the system taking the leadership of :

  • WP3 “System Development, Integration, and Test”
  • WP4 “Operating the System”.
