t-Infrastructure
By t-Infrastructure we mean e-Infrastructure specifically adapted to the needs of education, trainers and students. It is onerous to set up and operate, and therefore ICEAGE undertakes pioneering work to demonstrate how this may be done and to clarify requirements. At present this is undertaken on specially provided distributed software platforms. However, we also envisage some aspects of t-Infrastructure being provided by specialised VOs on standard production e-Infrastructure.
ICEAGE will develop and run shared t-Infrastructure, usable by students and teachers throughout the ERA, so that they have easy access to educational exercises running on e-Infrastructure and can demonstrate the potential of e-Infrastructure to transform the way we work and live.
It will be led by the University of Catania.
ICEAGE aims to focus on three strands to the work on t-Infrastructure:
- The development of improved or new forms of t-Infrastructure
- The set up and management of t-Infrastructure
- The set up and management of t-Infrastructure sharing policies.
