Use Case title: Engage in future grid middleware redesign for European grid computing and beyond

Short description: Grid development faces serious de-fragmentation as well as the burden of early success: today's grids grow outside the scope of early grid visions. EGI should start an endeavour to start rethinking grids from scratch, taking into account all we know of today's and planned grid application fields and the experiences with all different flavours of grid middleware. This activity should be managed according the rules of the book (standards, version control, open source, planned targets, etc.)

Actors: the grid scientific community in the EU and US(Pete Beckman), funding agencies, NGI officials.
