3. How do we know when e-Science has succeeded? Not just accelerated but new A. When everyone is using the Grid B. When there are routine scientific advances that would not have happened otherwise

4. How do we move from heroic scientists doing heroic science with heroic infrastructure to everyday scientists doing science they couldn’t do before? humanists archaeologists geographers musicologists ... researchers! research It’s the democratisation of e-Science! 

27. A utility is a directly and immediately useable service with established functionality, performance and dependability, illustrating the emphasis on user needs and issues such as trust Services are knowledge-assisted (‘semantic’) to facilitate automation and advanced functionality, the knowledge aspect reinforced by the emphasis on delivering high level services to the user Service-Oriented Knowledge Utility The architecture comprises services which may be instantiated and assembled dynamically, hence the structure, behaviour and location of software is changing at run-time
