In addition, it aims at investigating potential funding sources for the regional network, as well as interacting with the EUMEDCONNECT project and its local EU and Mediterranean partners. In Chapter 2 an Executive Summary can be found presenting the main goals of the project in subject. Chapter 3 summarises the first findings with regards to the scientific communities needs per country as evaluated by WP2 (Assessment of needs), focusing on the identification of communities that would be requiring to use the CSTRC facility and their networking needs. Chapter 4 presents the regional connectivity options mainly between Cyprus and the Middle East countries, as well as with some European and other cities. The current and envisaged connectivity costs (order of magnitude) are outlined in Chapter 5, while Chapter 6 outlines some initial foreseen legal and political issues. 1.2 DEFINITIONS 1.3 REFERENCES [R1] Project LinkSCEEM– RI-222904– Annex I – Description of Work [R2] LinkSCEEM D3 draft: “Assessment report” [R3] The Eumedconnect project www.eumedconnect.net [R4] CYTA, www.cytaglobal.com [R5] 1.4 DOCUMENT AMENDMENT PROCEDURE In case of omissions or mistakes the Project Manager of LinkSCEEM in consultation with the appropriate Work Package managers may alter this document, in which case a new version will be uploaded to the LinkSCEEM website and possibly also be submitted to the European Commission. 1.5 LIST OF ACRONYMS AND ABBREVIATIONS RI-222904 © Members of the LinkSCEEM Project PUBLIC 7 / 27 Doc.

Identifier: NETWORK STUDY INITIAL FINDINGS LinkSCEEM_D2_v0.2.doc Date: 27/02/2009 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The overarching objective of LinkSCEEM is to ensure that in its planning and early development phases the Computation-based Science and Technology Research Centre (CSTRC) of the Cyprus Institute (CyI) develops strong anchors in both the European ICT infrastructure and the Eastern Mediterranean scientific community, and thereby helps to build scientific and technological bridges between Europe and the Middle East, thus narrowing the digital gap between the Eastern Mediterranean and the Western World. This will be achieved through the action of a consortium of European and US leaders in the fields of HPC and computational science, and of prominent Eastern Mediterranean research institutions, that will conduct studies, prospective work and outreach activities relevant to the future integration of CSTRC in the EU HPC landscape, and to the achievement of its regional dimension. The need for improvement of the regional network connectivity is a central issue in ensuring transparent access to HPC resources and in allowing large datasets to be transferred to computing facilities where they can be analysed and processed. Thus, the execution of a feasibility study for the creation of a regional high-speed research network is deemed essential in the aim of interconnecting the Eastern Mediterranean countries with each other and with Cyprus. The following actions are foreseen: • The exploration of several possible solutions for providing regional interconnection of the Middle East countries and their linking to Cyprus. • The execution of a comparative analysis (e.g. SWOT analysis) among the different solutions, addressing the major components of the feasibility issue, in particular technical, financial and political aspects. • Coordination with the studies concerning the assessment of needs for computing resources, so as to maximise the impact of the network study, by bringing more emphasis on countries and areas where obvious major users exist (e.g. SESAME in Jordan). • The investigation of potential funding sources for the regional network, in coordination with the local EUMEDCONNECT partners (mostly the NRENs in the region).

Identifier: NETWORK STUDY INITIAL FINDINGS LinkSCEEM_D2_v0.4.doc Date: 12/02/09 3 LINKSCEEM COMMUNITY NETWORKING NEEDS The use of high performance computing (HPC) has become crucial in many fields of research, examples include the simulation of how galaxies collide and merge or how proteins fold, how molecules move through the wall of a cell or even how tornadoes and hurricanes form, as well as many other complex natural and engineered phenomena. The deployment of robust, high-performance computing resources is an objective of utmost importance for the Eastern Mediterranean region – in which such resources are currently scarce - so that research communities can benefit from the use of increased computing power and can be supported to develop new computing and software technologies. The LinkSCEEM project parallels the planed development of the Cyprus Institute/CSTRC’s HPC infrastructure,
