About the pilot
Description of supported work
...
Objectives
- Initial integration, federation and interoperability between CSTCloud and EOSC.
- Testing the three pilots in the federated infrastructure
- Forecasting Taiwan Typhoon using 1 km resolution, Doppler Radar and radiation satellite and high resolution satellite images.
- Precision medicine using animal or plant Genomics.
- SmartCity Storm surge and disaster assessment using satellite data.
General
The project aims to allow researchers from Africa and China to use EOSC services to analyse and publish datasets on a federated cloud infrastructure composed
by EGI and CNIC CAS resources.
Three different pilot use cases have been identified during this project:
- Disaster risk:
CASEarth provides high resolution (8 m) satellite data and radiation satellite images for the simulation of tsunami, hurricane, earthquakes,
typhoons, floods and extreme weather. - Smart City: ESA and CSTCloud provide high resolution data and sensor data for the city of Shenzhen in Guangzhou province, China.
- Precision Medicine: Beijing Institute of Genomics (BIG) provides datasets for analysing genetic make up of diseases.

EOSC services and providers
Providers
PSNC is contributing with cloud resources for supporting the three pilot use cases (3PMs).
Additional computing and storage resources will be complemented by the OCRE project.
Services
- EGI AAI Check-In service will be used to enable access to global cloud infrastructure.
For this integration no additional effort is allocated since a MoU between EGI and CSTCloud is already in place.
- Cloud Compute, online and long-term archiving storage.
- OPENCoasT service
- 6PMs are allocated to LNEC to extend the framework and support the EaP application
DMCC+ service
- 3PMs are allocated to ACGC to support the EaP application
- WRF 4DVAR
AGROS (OpenAIRE)
No additional effort is requested from the service provider side
