GGF16 Registration Is Now Open Join us in Athens for the 16th Global Grid Forum hosted by Greek Research and Technology Network (GRNET). The 4 day meeting will take place at the Divani Caravel Hotel ideally situated in the heart of Athens. GRNET will offer an exciting regional plenary program that will bring together Greek and other European experts in the field of grid and distributed computing. In addition to the regional program, GGF16 will provide an environment to continue the work of our Standards Groups through WG/RG sessions, BoFs and workshops. GGF's community program will continue throughout the week, emphasizing the applications and operation of grids in research and industry settings. The community program will consist of workshops, invited talks, technical tutorials, and demonstrations of standards-based implementations of grid software.

GGF16 Community Call for Participation Building on the success of Community Programs at GGF14 and GGF15, the Community Program at GGF16 seeks to build new and strengthen existing communities of interest in GGF. GGF is comprised of a number of "communities of interest" who either are users of grids in their domain or develop innovative approaches to perceived roadblocks to the adoption of grids. Community activities may run in parallel with other GGF16 activities but every attempt will be made in scheduling to minimize unnecessary clashes.
