The deliverable describes the existing VA installations, their management within the project, updates the usage metrics delivered from the start of the project (January 2021) until Month 24 (December 2022) and reports on the Green Computing metrics and initiatives from the C-SCALE providers.
D3.7 Final assessment of the services (Under EC Review)
This report presents the final assessment of the C-SCALE services provided through the Virtual Access (VA) mechanism to the users. These include computing and storage resources. The deliverable describes the existing VA installations, and their management within the project, updates the usage metrics delivered from the start of the project (January 2021) until Month 33 (September 2023) and reports on the Green Computing metrics and initiatives from the C-SCALE providers.
D4.1 User feedback report on the functional design of the federation
At the C-SCALE project’s inception, six use cases were identified. Their objective was to deploy applications on the C-SCALE federated infrastructure and provide feedback on their experiences working with the providers in co-designing the C-SCALE federation. This report provides information about the use case dependencies and who implemented these. Additionally, the use cases provide feedback about speed of access to resources and data, the ease of use of the resources, the appropriateness of the technology used to implement the use case, the resultant usability of the application running on the federated infrastructure, the missing functionality/resources, the effectiveness of support from the providers and the overall satisfaction of the service/resource. Additionally, all use cases make improvement suggestions which in summary are centred around simplifying and harmonising resources provisioning and access, improving documentation and providing examples and training and finding mechanisms to ensure that data and tooling are readily available for users so that users can focus on science. In general, the feedback from the use cases is positive. Users recognise the value of developing customised solutions in collaboration with the federation providers and appreciate the flexibility of the resources being provided.
D4.2 Final report on integrating use cases in C-SCALE, including user feedback report (Under EC Review)
This report provides an overview of the integration of various use cases into the FedEarthData platform under the C-SCALE project, with a focus on Workflow Solutions and new use cases on-boarded via an open call. Workflow Solutions are applications developed to facilitate the use of FedEarthData by offering easily deployable templates and reusable components. Additionally, the inclusion of new use cases from diverse scientific disciplines underlines the adaptability and flexibility of the FedEarthData platform. The user feedback collected throughout the project shows overall satisfaction with the provided C-SCALE services. However, users also highlighted potential areas of improvement, primarily in resource provision and the availability of comprehensive documentation. The report underlines the effectiveness of C-SCALE support and identifies further opportunities to enhance the user experience on the FedEarthData infrastructure.
D5.1 Project website, social media channels and internal collaboration tools
This deliverable reports on the setup of the initial version of the C-SCALE website and its contents, the social media presence, and the setup of the project’s internal collaboration and communication tools. The C-SCALE website will serve as the primary access point for users, and together with social media, it will facilitate dissemination and raising awareness for various audiences, e.g. for the publication of success stories of the project. The website provides information about the project and the consortium, news, events, and contact details.
D5.2 Criteria for choosing candidates for the Early Adopter Programme
This deliverable reports on the criteria for choosing candidates for the Early Adopter Programme (EAP). The EAP will launch open call (possibly calls) to identify additional use cases from the EOSC and Copernicus research communities and beyond, wishing to exploit Copernicus and EO data. The additional use cases will serve to gather further feedback on the functional and non-functional aspects of the overall C-SCALE services.
D5.3 Initial collection of training material
The document outlines the initial training plan that will be delivered during the project and will provide a first set of training contents about the C-SCALE services. It discusses the target audiences, creates the structure of the training plan with an initial outline of training material and gives information on how the access to the material will be organised.
