项目摘要

The goal of the NGS is to deliver a production quality national e-infrastructure (computational and data management services) in support of academic research across all Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) in the UK. Specifically the project will deliver core services and support activities to facilitate collaborative access to computing and data resources in support of UK researchers. These services will, as required, integrate with partner infrastructures in Europe, the USA, and elsewhere in the world, thereby ensuring that UK researchers can effectively and efficiently exploit facilities and collaborations across the world. The National Grid Service has developed as a framework for collaborative use of computing and data infrastructures across projects and institutions. The focus of the NGS is in supporting research collaborations, which may be distributed and come together as an ad-hoc arrangement that changes with time, through the development of a persistent common e-infrastructure. Through its programme of driving the adoption of open standards based solutions the NGS is facilitating common access mechanisms to such facilities, enabling intra-institutional collaboration to become a day to day reality in the pursuit of research. Through its active collaborations with international grid activities such as EGEE and the Teragrid , the NGS has also been successful in facilitating international research projects such as the current GENIUS project (provisioning and supporting lightpath connections, using ja.net Lightpath ), and its previous work under the RealityGrid project, the Integrative Biology project (bringing distributed data management to a new community) and astronomers using the Sloane Digital Sky Survey (SDSS).The UK NGS, with its connections into Europe through EGEE , DEISA and potentially PRACE , puts the UK in a strong position to exploit both current and future research infrastructures across Europe. A position which will be jeopardised without the NGS.Looking towards the future the NGS has a clear role in continuing to drive the adoption of standards based approaches for collaborative research across institutional boundaries within the UK by: - enabling HEI and researcher access to the wide range of resources already established through the NGS and leveraging existing and future authentication services such as the federation. - integrating HEI resources and researchers into the national and international framework. - integrating further resources and thereby increasing the pool of computational and data facilities. - enabling a wide range of community-led support programmes to exploit a persistent common infrastructure. - delivering core services in support of collaborative research. - engaging with appropriate standards bodies (e.g. OGF ) to develop effective standards based on user and community requirements.In achieving this, the NGS needs to continue to build on the technical achievements to date and to further the models for brokering of resources between institutes, enhance the environment for the provision of shared services, and to facilitate models with institutes for sustaining the resources into the future. For users the NGS must continue to promote and facilitate training at all levels in order to utilise this developing UK e-Infrastructure and to provide visibility of UK e-infrastructure on the international stage.

NGS的目标是提供高质量的国家电子基础设施（计算和数据管理服务），以支持英国所有高等教育机构（HEIs）的学术研究。具体而言，该项目将提供核心服务和支持活动，以促进协同访问计算和数据资源，以支持英国研究人员。这些服务将根据需要与欧洲，美国和世界其他地方的合作伙伴基础设施整合，从而确保英国研究人员能够有效地利用世界各地的设施和合作。国家网格服务已经发展成为跨项目和机构协作使用计算和数据基础设施的框架。NGS的重点是支持研究合作，通过开发持久的共同电子基础设施，这些合作可以分散，也可以作为随时间变化的临时安排集中在一起。通过其推动采用基于开放标准的解决方案的计划，NGS正在促进对这些设施的共同访问机制，使机构内的合作成为追求研究的日常现实。通过与EGEE和Teragrid等国际网格活动的积极合作，NGS还成功地促进了国际研究项目，如目前的GENIUS项目（使用www.example.com Lightpath提供和支持光路连接ja.net）及其先前在RealityGrid项目下的工作，综合生物学项目（将分布式数据管理引入一个新的社区）和天文学家使用斯隆数字巡天（SDSS）。英国NGS通过EGEE连接到欧洲，DEISA和潜在的PRACE，使英国在利用整个欧洲当前和未来的研究基础设施方面处于有利地位。展望未来，NGS在继续推动采用基于标准的方法进行跨机构合作研究方面发挥着明确的作用：-使高等教育机构和研究人员能够访问通过NGS已经建立的广泛资源，并利用现有和未来的认证服务，如联合会。- 将高等教育机构的资源和研究人员纳入国家和国际框架。- 整合更多的资源，从而增加计算和数据设施的池。- 使各种社区主导的支助方案能够利用持久的共同基础设施。- 提供支持合作研究的核心服务。- 与适当的标准机构（如OGF）合作，根据用户和社区的要求制定有效的标准，为此，NGS需要继续在迄今为止的技术成就的基础上发展，并进一步推动机构之间资源调配的模式，改善提供共享服务的环境，并与机构一起促进未来资源持续的模式。对于用户，NGS必须继续促进和促进各级培训，以利用这一发展中的英国电子基础设施，并在国际舞台上提供英国电子基础设施的可见度。
