CALL FOR PAPERS
International
Grid Interoperability and Interoperation
Workshop 2007 (IGIIW 2007)
Bangalore, India, December 10th - 13th (1 day), 2007
http://omii-europe.org/OMII-Europe/igiiw2007.html
to be held in conjunction with
3rd IEEE - Int. Conference on e-Science and Grid Computing 2007
Bangalore, India, December 10th -- 13th, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------
SCOPE
The
workshop will discuss the interoperability and interoperation aspects of
current Grid and Web technologies, production Grid infrastructures in general,
and the interoperability through emerging open standards in particular. In the
context of this workshop, the difference between interoperability and
interoperation is as follows: Interoperation is specifically defined as what
needs to be done to get production Grid infrastructures (e.g. DEISA, EGEE,
TeraGrid) to work together as a fast short-term achievement using as much
existing technologies as available today. Hence, this is not the perfect
solution and different than interoperability that is defined as the native
ability of Grids and Grid middleware (UNICORE, gLite, Globus Toolkit) to
interact directly via well defined interfaces and common open standards. This
will enable cross-Grid use cases and applications from a growing range of
domains in industry and science.
The
goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners
working in the area of interoperability and interoperation within Grid
infrastructures and distributed environments, to exchange and share their
experiences, new ideas, and latest research results as well as open problems.
Enough time for intensive discussions will be provided and outcomes of the
workshop will be summarized in the session.
