> Session Summary:
>
> This workshop will provide a showcase of standards and community activity
> within GGF by bringing together groups in three different areas
> (Standards Applications, Community Industry Applications & Community
> Research Applications). Through a series of presentations we will show
> the current state of the standards activity and critically the current
> barriers to pervasive adoption as perceived by the consuming user
> community. Finally, a panel session will help to define areas of
> collaboration and potentially new areas for standards development.
>
> Session Description:
>
> GGF has an active standards and community areas focusing on engagement
> with application developers and tool builders in research and industry.
> For these separate areas to work effectively we need to build a
> relationship where the APIs being developed within the standards area are
> relevant to the research and industry consumers, and in turn the
> application and tool builders are communicating to the standards area
> their requirements in terms of stable defined interfaces.
>
> With the greater emphasis on GGF's redefined standards and community
> functions, and the factorization of the standards area into having an
> 'umbrella' research group to drive the coordinated development of a set
> of consistent APIs across several working groups, there is a need to
> establish the communication links between the standards and community
> areas for Applications.
>
> This workshop, hopefully the first of many, will start to establish the
> communication links and provide a showcase as to the current state of the
> standards development and the current priorities for application and tool
> development in industry and research. In addition, it will provide a
> general dissemination mechanism of activity to developers and users (both
> critical consumers in terms of achieving pervasive grid adoption) and the
> wider GGF community as to activity in the standards and community areas.
