In Athens, the GHPN-RG will use two sessions. The first session focuses on recent developments that directly related to GHPN drafts. The last ~30 minutes of the first session are reserved for short presentations on efforts with GHPN relevance and within GHPN scope --- e.g., new initiatives, draft proposals, ideas for new RG/WGs, specific Grid network services. If you wish to present, please send an abstract of your material to the chairs and/or this list. The second session (organized by GRNET) gives us a unique opportunity to hear from advanced Grid Networks projects and their stance on a standardization roadmap. I cross-post to the Telco Community Group as a FYI. === Grid High Performance Networking Research Group (GHPN-RG) Chairs: Dimitra Simeonidou, Franco Travostino Session I (Monday, Feb 13th, 5:30-7:00) and Session II (Tuesday, Feb 14th, 5:30-7:00).
