Community council members,
Before sending this out to the respective workshop organizers, I would
like to check upon you to see if the content would be OK. I am boarding
a plane back to Tokyo from SFO now, so if you could respond within the
working day it will be great. Oh yes minor spelling errors I will be
correcting. Thanks.
Satoshi

Subject: Workshop feedback
----
Thilo,
Thanks for yoru workshop proposal for the workshop proposal
"Grid Applications: from Early Adopters to Mainstream Users".
I am sending this email as the current GROC co-chair and also on behalf
of the newly proposed community council.
As a part of transitional activity of GGF governance to strengthen the
community activities, the GFSG and the proposed community council
therein will be taking active responsibility in workshop oversight. In
the light of this we have decided to provide active dialogs to the
workshop organizers to help strengthen the organizational process as
well as its exterior outreach.
Please re-distribute this email to other organizers as well as anybody
else involved in your workshop organization.
Since time is short till GGF14, I am accelerating the process by sending
you comment(s) already made. As you see, although you have backing the
comment indicates that there is room for improvement in the proposal. I
hope you could make some revisions by reflect the comments, and send to
the (proposed) community council the revised version by April 15th. In
the meantime there may be additional comments, which will be forwarded
to you if deemed helpful in the improvement.
Also please note that we will want to allow some of the workshop to be a
academically viable and recognizable activity from not only within the
Grid community but from other CS communities. Thus, we would like
to push on external communication of the workshop, both in terms of
the content as well as the viability of its organizational manners.
To quote one community council member: "I am passionate about the high
value of good workshops: they stimulate, they inform, they build
communities, they cross-fertilise and they recognise the need for new
lines of work. Without workshops I think GGF would drift towards narrow
technical nit-picking standards. The value of workshops is much
diminished if the only effects are on those at the workshop. Hence the
demand for publication and publicity."
I hope the new (proposed) community council can fruitfully work with the
workshop organizers to fulfill such desires. Looking forward to the
revised proposal as well as the workshop itself. Thanks.
Best Regards,
Satoshi Matsuoka
Comment 1:
===
The APPS-WG has run excellent workshops at past GGF. This one does not
seem to be clearly described - it has a reasonable planned content I
think, but it isn't easy to read and understand - and the breadth of its
organiser / acceptance panel is not yet defined. I would back them on
their track record, but push them to edit and update the proposal.
===
Comment 2:
===
The report from the last workshop held at GGF13 should be reported. At
least there should be some evidence that such is being worked upon.
===
---------
A) Workshop Title
Grid Applications: from Early Adopters to Mainstream Users
We are intending a type two (refereed workshop)
B) Proposed workshop organizer names and affiliations (possibly incl. review committee for type 2). Be sure to identify yourself if you are a chair of an existing RG/WG.
Thilo Kielmann, Vrije Universiteit, Co-Chair APPS-RG
Thomas Hinke, NASA AMES, Co-Chair APPS-RG
Laura McGinnis, PSC, Co-chair PGM-RG (to become PGS-RG)
David Wallom, Bristol Univ, designated Co-chair PGS-RG
Full reviewing committee to be announced soon.
C) RG/WG that will be involved (including potential RG/WGs as well as RG/WGs up for approval). If you are proposing a workshop without being a full RG, please provide a separate RG submission info, including candidate RG name, charter, area, chairs, BOF descriptions, etc.
APPS-RG
PGS-RG (currently PGM-RG)
D) Scope and Content (a paragraph or two of the workshop description to be put on the program.
In this workshop, we aim at experience with bridging the gap between
early adopters of grids and the more mainstream use of grid technology.
Currently, for the most part grids are on the early adopter side of the
gap, asking for the move to the more mainstream users.
Here, applications are the key. We are seeking experience from early
adoptors who would like to become mainstream users, from mainstream
users who would like to use grids, from those who already do, and from
middleware developers and system operators in charge of
providing grid working environments to user communities.
We are seeking contributions on the following topics:
- user experience with early-adoptor and/or mainstream grid applications
- management approaches for production-quality grid environments
- techniques for robust (fault tolerant) grid applications and middleware
- software tools for automatic testing and signaling of error conditions
Our focus is on hands-on experience with existing grid environments,
focusing on bridging the gap between early adoption and production use.
E) Potential speakers for type one (invited( and possibly two workshops. Any additional info are welcome including the title of the talk, their abstract, etc. In fact the proposed program may be put here.
Potential speakers come from major grid projects, from grid user
communities, and from grid service operators.
We seek to enrich the program by an opening keynote presentation and a
final panel discussion.
A candidate for the keynote could be Steven Newhouse from OMII,
talking about his user survey among UK E-science users.
F) Past History of hosting a similar workshop inside or outside GGF.
Prior to GGF5 in Glasgow:
NeSC Workshop on Applications and Testbeds on the Grid
organized by APPS-RG and GUS-RG (just prior to GGF5)
At GGF7 in Tokyo: Applications workshop:
What can be achieved with today's Grid technology (and what cannot)?
organized by APPS-RG
At GGF8 in Seattle:
Workshop on Grid Applications and Programming Tools
organized by APPS-RG and UPDT-RG
Workshop on Tools For Grid Management
organized by PGM-RG
At GGF10 in Berlin:
Workshop on Case Studies on Grid Applications
organized by APPS-RG, UPDT-RG, GUS-RG, and PGM-RG
At GGF11 in Honolulu:
Semantic Grid Applications Workshop
organized by APPS-RG and SEM-GRD
Management of Grid Services in Production Grids
organized by PGM-RG
At GGF12 in Brussels:
Workshop on Grid Application Programming Interfaces
organized by APPS-RG with DRMAA-WG, GridRPC-WG, SAGA-RG
At GGF13 in Soul:
The Usable Grid
organized by APPS-RG
G) Duration of workshop (half day (2-3 slots incl. Breaks) or whole day (4-5 slots)
whole day
H) Estimated # of participants (if possible)
50-70
I) Publication Plans ---
please indicate if you have plan to publish the workshop result with a
certain publisher. If left out we will assume that the workshop product
will be a GGF Informational Document.
We plan to publish a proceedings volume in form of a
GGF Informational Document.

Dear All,
On behalf of the Community Council, I am providing an outline of the two
program aspects we envision for GGF14 specifically as well as the
logistical needs of these program elements:
*Workshops - (logistical requirements: 1 room with 50-100 person capacity
from Mon-Thurs. Remote access - telecon or AG - would be
desirable. Standard A/V.),
*Community (or General) Track - (logistical requirements: 1 room with
100-150 person capacity from Mon pm-Wed pm. Standard A/V. Registration
waivers.).
We anticipate keeping these two elements separate but understand that this
is contingent upon availability of space. If necessary, we will
intersperse these elements into one track (of increased days).
Below, please find the characteristics of these 2 elements:
Workshops (Classical GGF Workshops):
-Organized by Research Groups and Working Groups,
-Workshops reports must be provided within 3 months of the meeting (we will
encourage these reports to take the form of a GGF Informational document).
-The GROC solicitation process will be reviewed and modified by the
Community Council due to time and potential logistical constraints. We
would like to do this asap.
-GFSG input will be solicited (both on above process and submissions).
-Community Council will provide bi-weekly GFSG updates.
Community (or General) Track:
This themed session would last from 0.5 to 2 days and is geared towards
attracting people to attend the whole session and so motivate attendance at
GGF (people that would not otherwise attend GGF). This track may contain
keynotes, invited or contributed talks, panels, etc. They can involve
applications, technology or standards.
Examples of topics for this track (pulled from the Community Council email
list archives) include:
.......................
STEM is Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics and used to
describe parts of education often viewed as weak in USA. I think we could
set up a useful STEM community that could have activities similar to those
of education part in SCxx. I suspect we could both benefit a broad
community and probably compete for various funding opportunities.
.......................
On April 25th, I will be talking at a meeting of CENDI which is an
interagency group of scientific and technical information (STI) managers
from 12 major federal agencies. In DoE this is called OSTI. Together
CENDI members are meant to represent agencies covering over 95% of the
federal R&D budget. (http://www.CENDI.gov) These are information systems
leaders and I was introduced to them as I am helping design of Information
Retrieval Grid for federating different federal databases
(http://www.science.gov) I think most corporations have such needs for
information systems and it could be interesting community.
Note that the CENDI Group exchanges ideas and information covering a broad
range of themes from policy to standards to technologies that impact or
have the potential of impacting federal STI systems.
If we had a community track, the GridIR and Portal activities would be very
relevant. I will certainly encourage them to get involved with GGF and I
realize it would be useful if for each GGF meeting, we identified
activities that could be interesting to each of a set of communities we
support. We also could collect talks such as the one I will give and list
those of interest to each community.
.......................
In coordination with the GGF14 Event Steering Council (ESC), we will
generate appropriate CFPs, invitations, etc., for the above community
program activities. We intend to record our experiences from GGF14 in a
'community perspective lessons learned' document for use in planning future
GGF community activities.
I look forward to Friday's discussion and hope this provides further
background for the community council's role in GGF14.
