[Apologies if you received duplicates of this email] Call for Participation The 19th Open Grid Forum - OGF19 January 29-February 2, 2007 Chapel Hill, NC USA OGF 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 or grid research. The OGF19 Program seeks to build new and strengthen existing communities of interest in OGF including eScience and enterprise. The OGF19 Program will offer a series of 30-90 minute talks and panels emphasizing the applications and operations of grids in research and commercial contexts. It will also consist of half and full-day research workshops of standards-based implementations of grid software. While there are no formal publication requirements, publications in the form of OGF Informational Documents, journal articles/special or equivalent are encouraged and all session organizers are required to submit materials (including slides) for inclusion on the OGF web pages prior to the event. These program activities may run in parallel with other OGF activities (such as standards sessions) but every attempt will be made in scheduling to minimize unnecessary clashes. Proposals are now being accepted for the OGF19 Program. Only proposals submitted online prior to 17 November will be considered. To submit a proposal, visit: http://www.ogf.org/gf/session_request/commreq.php Acceptance notices will be sent during the last week of November or the first week of December.
