About SIENA
SIENA will contribute to defining a future e-Infrastructures roadmap focusing on interoperability and standards, in close collaboration with the European Commission, Distributed Computing Infrastructures (DCI) projects and Standard Development Organisations (SDOs), to gain an in-depth understanding of how distributed computing technology is being developed in this context. The roadmap will define scenarios, identify trends, investigate the innovation and impact sparked by cloud and grid computing, and deliver insight into how standards and the policy framework is defining and shaping current and future development and deployment in Europe and globally.
Overview of the joint workplan
The parties contribute to enable the vision of providing European scientists and international collaboration for sustainable distributed computing services to support their work. In this broad context, the specific goals of the collaborations are to:

Disseminate the results of this collaboration within the remit of each project’s dissemination and communication activities such as joint events.
-
Increase visibility of project objectives and community results through leveraging a large network of communities within the standards arena.
