Forwarded on behalf of EGA:
The Enterprise Grid Alliance (EGA) invites you to attend our 60 minute
webcast on grid computing in the enterprise. This is a great opportunity to
gain a thorough understanding of grid computing from Micron Technology, one
of the world's leading providers of advanced semiconductor solutions.
Micron has been an enterprise grid user for 5 years and has 11 globally
interconnected grids running over 20 applications on 12,000 shared and
dedicated processors. The EGA Reference Model Working Group will also
provide a briefing on EGA's new Provisioning Use Cases.
To register for this exciting event, visit:

Registration is open to all and there is no charge to attend the webcast.
When
Thursday May 04, 2006
9:00 AM PDT, 12 Noon (New York), 5 PM (London)
What you will learn
- Micron's central governance and distributed management approach to grid
computing
- Several general purpose grid applications that will be of interest to any
enterprise user
- Push and pull application models
- 'Follow-the-moon' job scheduling
- The application of use cases to many common provisioning activities in an
enterprise data center
Featured Speakers
Brooklin Gore is a Senior Fellow of Advanced Computing and Enterprise
Architecture with Micron. He has been researching and implementing
enterprise grid technologies for the past five years to create Micron's
global grid infrastructure. Bob Thome is a Senior Manager of Distributed
Databases at Oracle and EGA Reference Model Working Group Chair. He has
been a leading member of EGA since its inception.
Who should attend
IT technologists, managers and executives who are seeking the latest
information on:
- Grid computing from an end user perspective

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1. GGF17 Program Highlights
Hiro Kishimoto (Fujitsu) and Masao Sakauchi (National Institute of
Infomatics) will kick-off the program offering at the upcoming GGF17,
collocated with the 3rd Grid World Japan Exhibition in Tokyo, May 10-12.
Highlights include:
- 40-plus group sessions
- Free access to the Grid World Japan exhibition floor and program
- 8 Birds of a Feather sessions on topics such as:
Grid Education & Training (GET-CG) BoF
HPC Profile BoF
Data Movement Interface Standardization
Software Certification BoF - Grid and Distributed Software
Certification and Quality Assurance BoF
Storage Networking Community Group BoF
Standards Roadmap/GIN Joint BoF
Plus a follow-up on the Interop Fest BoF from GGF16
- Workshops and technology updates on topics such as:
Bridging the Divide between Application Requirements and Standards
Grids in the Telecommunications Industry
Grid Solutions in Cancer Research and Drug Discovery
Usage of Grids in the Japanese Enterprise
Managing Security across Grids
Metadata, Search and Preservation Environments on Data Grids
Gridsphere & Grid Portlets
OGSA & Alternative Grid Architectures
Grids and the International Virtual Observatory Alliance (see desc. below)
...and many more.
- The Voice of the Community (VOC) forum and Vendor Adoption Forum (VAF)
will be introduced at GGF17.
The goal of the VOC is to bring end-users together to capture requirements
and use cases that can then be incorporated into the GGF standards
development process. The VAF will bring together the vendor & developer to
identify issues and constraints that make Grid standards feasible and
cost-effective to implement.

2. Joint GGF & International Virtual Observatory Alliance Workshop
This one day workshop jointly sponsored by the GGF (Astro-RG and related
groups) and the International Virtual Observatory Alliance
(http://www.ivoa.net) will address areas where the global virtual
observatory is deploying an operational distributed data access and
manipulation system, utilising standards developed in the context of the
GGF. The workshop will look at areas of success and areas where additional
astronomy domain specific issues have required a non-standard approach. The
meeting is timely in that the global Virtual Observatory (VO) projects are
now deploying systems worldwide for operational and scientific use, where
use of emerging GGF standards in data management and security may have a
vital role to play.

The GGF's OGSA Working Group invites you to join our webcast session,
"Defining the Grid: An Introduction to the Open Grid Services Architecture,"
on Wednesday April 26th at 2pm EDT.
In this webcast we will discuss the evolution of grid computing, explain how
service-oriented grids fit with other leading-edge enterprise technologies,
and describe OGSA and its core capabilities. The presentation will be given
by Professor Andrew Grimshaw of the University of Virginia, a leading member
of GGF and the OGSA Working Group. After the presentation Andrew and other
members of the Working Group will be pleased to answer your questions.
This webcast will be of interest to technology managers, architects and
developers who would like to learn about standards-based grid technology and
its place throughout the enterprise.
For more details, and to register, please visit
http://www.presentationselect.com/hpinvent/detailsl.asp#1188. Registration
is open to all, and there is no charge. Places are limited, however, so be
sure to register early.
And don't worry if you can't make it to the live webcast: a recording of the
session will be available a few days after the event. Please watch
