Who is AARC target audience?
AARC addresses research collaborations and e-infrastructures that either are already deploying or are in the process to deploy an AAI that is AARC- compliant.
What does AARC do?
AARC works together with research collaborations and e-infrastructures architects participating in AARC to further develop the AARC Blueprint Architecture (BPA) produced during the AARC1 project, to define technical and policy guidelines to ease the implementation of AARC compliant AAIs and to ensure that these guidelines are deployed by resaerch and e-infrastructures beyond the AARC project remit (via AEGIS).
AARC also offers consultancy to research collaborations (in AARC and beyond) to design a suitable AAI that meets their needs.
AARC Results
- AARC Bluepring Architecture - The AARC main achievement is the AARC Blueprint Architecture (AARC BPA).This has been and will remain for some time a cornerstone for those in charge of designing an AAI for their research collaboration. An AARC Starter Pack is being developed to address security and privacy aspects related to the AARC BPA.
- Documents -
- Deliverables and milestones - These documents were defined as part of the AARC description of work.
- Guidelines In addition, AARC produces different to support the deployment of the AARC BPA and to address interoperability across infrastructures. Guidelines that have a general purpose and are meant to facilitate inter-operability across infrastructures are discussed by the AEGIS group for endorsment. The "AARC Engagement Group for InfrastructureS" (AEGIS) has establish bi-directional channels between AARC and infrastructures (that deploy or are in the process of deploying an AARC compliant AAI) to advise each other on the developments and production integration aspects of the AARC results. The current guidelines endorsed by AEGIS are:
- Guidelines on expressing group membership and role information (AARC-G002) - endorsed in Nov 2017
- Exchange of specific assurance information between Infrastructures (AARC-G021) - endorsed in March 2018
- Training - Training events for the research collaborations participating in AARC are organised as needed.
