The Grids Mean Business Track running on Tuesday, May 8th and Wednesday, May 9th, and will feature Paul Strong, e-Bay, as a keynote speaker, together with a selection of grid innovators and champions from the UK and around the world. The track will showcase grid in action and allow attendees to learn from their peers who are reaping the benefits of grid computing technologies. Many of the speakers will feature case studies, generating a real sense of "can do" led by these early adopters. Following the Grids Mean Business track, all attendees are welcome and encouraged to attend the OGF20 Enterprise requirements, best practices and developer and vendor adoption sessions being held on Thursday, May 10th. The Best Practices working session will review and discuss the draft document "Best practices to efficiently deploy and manage my Enterprise Grid infrastructure". The end result of this activity will be the publication of the first in a series of Enterprise Best Practice documents by the OGF. OGC-OGF Collaboration Workshop will identify and produce standard, grid-enabled geospatial information tools in the context of a service-oriented architecture. There will be presentations from key stakeholders and potential adopters followed by a panel session to get rough consensus on specific activities, such as harmonizing the OGC Reference Model with emerging web services. The 2nd International Workshop on Campus and Community Grids will provide a balanced view of connectivity issues between local, regional, national and international grid endeavours and call on the experiences of the grid community to ensure that issues are not missed. With the success of interoperability between National infrastructures, it is important to expand and connect existent Campus Grid systems to the national grids. The Program will also include dozens of chartered group sessions advancing grid specifications, other eScience and Enterprise-related workshops, and a series of sessions examining Grid issues in the Education and Training field.
