Researcher-Facing Call, May 2019

Title: Experiences from the XSEDE Extended Collaborative Support Service (ECSS)

Presenters: Bob Sinkovits and Phil Blood, ECSS co-directors; Sergiu Sanielevici, ECSS deputy director.

Summary:

The mission of the Extended Collaborative Support Services (ECSS) program is to improve the productivity of the XSEDE user community through successful, meaningful collaborations which optimize and parallelize applications, improve work and data flows, help develop science gateways, increase effective use of the XSEDE digital infrastructure and broadly expand the XSEDE user base by engaging members of underrepresented communities and domain areas. We will present a brief history (2011- present) and the current state of ECSS, leading into a discussion with the Researcher-Facing community to establish a sustained exchange of best practices, and opportunities for collaboration.
