AARC works together with research collaborations and e-infrastructures architectects architects participating in AARC to further develop the AARC Blueprint Architecture (BPA) produced during the AARC1 project, to define technical and policy guidelines to support 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
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.
As all projects, AARC has a list of deliverables and milestones. On top of those guidelines are produced and training events are organised. In addition, AARC produces different guidelines 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 have been endorsed by AEGIS to date:
Training events for the research collaborations participating in AARC are organised as needed.
