Goals and responsibilities: Objectives
• Disseminate project results and organise
dissemination and training events
• Promote awareness about the need for quality in
research projects software development activities
• Investigate and collaborate with similar initiatives to
the definition, applicability and scope of quality
assurance policies and standards
• Investigate the feasibility of a certification process for
software developed by research projects and outline a
roadmap for its implementation
• Set up the project portal for the wide aggregation of
user community and to supply the ETICS services

– Google and Yahoo show ETICS portal first for
– ‘ETICS’
– ‘Grid Quality Process’
• ETICS in the news
– Feature in Science Grid This Week
– (re-print in) Grid Today
– Details in:

Relationships with other WPs
• Dissemination and training requires by definition
interactions with all WPs, and
• Will first be tested on the ETICS team
– Almost there… need to close the loop!!
• Since we will Eat our own dog food, the web
application will be used by all WPs
• Web interface is client of the web service build-system
(WP3) and the testing (WP4)
– Good work done with WP3
– Would like more interactions with WP4
• Community portal provides a forum for ETICS partners
and users
– Is this useful? Do you need more?

Relationships with external projects
• EU-OMII
– Will be member of the ETICS board of experts
– Collaboration are being put in place such that the EU-OMII
middleware is build and tested using the ETICS Service
• BELIEF
– Will work together on joint Quality Assurance events
• GGF
– Presented ETICS’s certification and QA ideas during GGF17.
– Need to define clear participation for new GGF group, if agreed,
for GGF18
• ICEAGE
– Collaborate and participate in training events
• Other
– NESSI, C-OMEGA, etc

Risk assessment
• Definition of the ETICS Quality Certification Process is
not clearly defined
– Mitigation: involve the Board of Experts, to guide the scope to
the certification
• The composition of the Board of Experts has to be
representative of future stake-holders of the ETICS
certification process
– HP event is a first step in identifying Board Members
