Call For Papers: GCE06
by Mary Thomas 27 Jul '06

27 Jul '06

CALL FOR PAPERS GCE06 - Second International Grid Computing Environments and Portals Workshop 06 * Conference Web Page: http://www.cogkit.org/GCE06 * held in conjunction with with [http://sc06.supercomp.org/ SC06], Tampa, FL * Meeting dates: Sunday, Nov 12, 8:00am-3:00pm and Monday, Nov 13, 8-5. 8:00am - 3:00pm * Meeting Location, Salon G Abstract The purpose of this Workshop is to bring together the community to discuss and foster the exchange of ideas for the development of tools, methodologies and frameworks to build Grid computing environments. Last years conference at SC05 focussed on tools for Grid Portals. This years conference will broaden the discussion to also include efforts of other tools that make the development and use of Grids more easily accesible from the desktop. The results of the Workshop will be published in a special edition of [http://www.cc-pe.net/journalinfo/ Concurrency Practice and Experience]. Scope Scientific portals and gateways have emerged to be important components of many large-scale scientific computing and Grid projects. They are characterized by delivering well-established mechanisms for providing familiar interfaces to secure Grid resources, services, applications, tools, and collaboration services for communities of scientists. In most cases access is enabled through a web browser without the need to download or install any specialized software or worry about networks and ports. As a result, the science application user is isolated from the complex details and infrastructure needed to operate an application on the Grid. In addition to Web-based tools we see the emergance of Desktop based Grid tools that make the development and also the use of Grids easier. This workshop will focus on projects and technologies that are adopting these new technologies and services as well as develop new once. We seek papers from all aspects of portal, gateway, and tool development including architecture design and standards studies, toolkits developed in support of Grid portals and gateways, as well as Grid middleware. GCE 2006 topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Applications of Grid Portals and Gateways (including User Portals, Application Portals, Science Gateways, Education Portals, User interface/usability studies). * Design and architecture of Grid portals and gateways including * Tools and frameworks that make developing Grid Portals and gatweaways easier * Portal security models and solutions. * Middleware solutions in support of portals and Gatwways including: Web Services; WSRF Services; Grid technologies; Databases; Workflows; WSRP and other standards; Web services in support of Portals and Gateways. * Interaction with Commodity and Commercial tools such as Perl, Python, Matlab, and Mathematica. * Interaction with Desktop aplications. Paper Submission and Publication Authors are invited to submit a full paper on original and unpublished work (which is also not submitted elsewhere for review) reporting omsignificant projects and results in any aspect of Grid portals, gateways and desktops, as well as their related technologies. Papers should not exceed 10 single-spaced pages of text including images and references using 11 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inch paper with 1in margins. The document format is PDF. Electronic submission will be done through the workshop website. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. Proceedings All papers selected for this workshop will be peer-reviewed. The accepted authors will have the posibility to publish an enhanced version in a special issue of Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience (http://www.cc-pe.net/journalinfo/) under the journal guidelines.

Here are some photos from the GCE05 workshop at SC05. My quick head count at the start of the workshop was 55, with a few more coming in later. Not bad for the Friday after a week of SC. Hopefully we will do this again next year.

GCE 2005 Submission Date Extension
by Marlon Pierce 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

In response to several requests, we are extending the GCE 2005 submission deadline until Thursday, Sep 29th. The conference web site will be updated later today to reflect this. Feel free to forward this email. Thanks to all of you who have already submitted. You may (if you choose) update your submission using the new deadline. Marlon Pierce on behalf of Mary Thomas (spam spam spam spam) --------------------------------------------------- Please circulate this to any interested groups. GCE 2005: Workshop on Grid Computing Portals Call for Participation -------------------------------------------------------------------------- WORKSHOP UPDATES: **** Paper submission webpage is up and available (see Submissions) ***** http://acel.sdsu.edu/mtgs/gce05/ * Date for workshop has been finalized by SC Committee: Friday, November 18th, 8am - 12pm * Paper submission dates have been extended by 1 week to September 26, 2005. * The Technical Program review committee has been finalized and includes grid portal experts from both the US and Europe (see below). *Important Dates: 26-Sep-05: Extended Abstract Due <---- delayed 08-Oct-05: Acceptance Notification 18-Nov-05: Full Paper Submission Due at time of workshop -------------------------------------------------------------------------- WORKSHOP OVERVIEW: Grid computing portals have emerged to be important components of many large-scale Grid computing projects. Portals provide well-established mechanisms for providing familiar interfaces to secure grid resources, services, applications, tools, and collaboration services for communities of scientists. Furthermore, portals deliver complex grid solutions to users wherever they have access to a web browser running on the Internet without the need to download or install any specialized software or worry about networks and ports, etc. As a result, the science application user is isolated from the complex details and infrastructure needed to operate an application on the grid. The portal development community is currently undergoing a revolution as component-based architectures and services become standardized and widely adopted. Grid middleware is also changing in response to the services oriented architecture (SOA) approach to hosting services. The move towards an SOA grid maps very well to the architecture already employed by portals, further increasing their value within the grid community. This workshop will focus on portal projects that are adopting these new technologies and services. We seek papers from all aspects of portal development including portal architecture design and standards studies, toolkits developed in support of portals, as well as high-level application portals that utilize these technologies. GCE 2005 topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Project portals including: User Portals,Application Portals, Science Gateway Portals,Education Portals * Portal architecture and design, including: Portlets and portal frameworks (uPortal, Sakai, CHEF, GridSphere, WebSphere, etc); JSP; JSF; Servlets; REST; Cocoon, etc.). * Portal security models and solutions. * Portal languages including Java, Python, Perl, PHP, etc * User interface/usability studies. * Middleware solutions in support of portals including: Web Services; WSRF Services; Grid technologies; Databases; Workflows; WSRP and other standards; Web services in support of Portals. Paper Submission and Publication: Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract paper on original and unpublished work (also not submitted elsewhere for review) reporting significant projects and results in any aspect of grid portals and related technologies.

GCE meeting notes
by Marlon Pierce 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05

Hi folks-- I want to thank all the early risers for coming to the 7:30 meeting this morning. We had some very good discussions about the portals survey document, which I have included in the updated attachment. If you are around this afternoon at 3:30, please come to the second session--we will do the same for the desktop gce environments. Marlon

Hi folks-- Hopefully you will be able to join at least one of the GCE sessions Thursday. The main thing we have to do is draft surveys for portals and grid desktops/shells. I have attached a two first drafts. See my earlier email on the agenda (posted by Mary Thomas) for more information. Marlon Pierce
