Dear colleagues, In an effort to give as many people as possible a chance to participate in the workshop (the OGF 19 schedule has just been posted), the deadline for submission has been extended to January 5, 2007. Note http://gridreliability.nist.gov/RRworkshopCallForChapelHill.htm and below. Sincerely, Chris Dabrowski

To: gridrel-rg@ogf.org From: Christopher Dabrowski <christopher.dabrowski@nist.gov> Subject: Second Workshop on Reliability and Robustness in Grid Computing System at OGF19

Dear colleagues,

There will be a second Workshop on Reliability and Robustness in Grid Computing Systems at OGF19, January 29 - February 2, 2007 in Chapel Hill, USA (exact date/time to be provided) See http://gridreliability.nist.gov/ and https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/projects/gridrel-rg (project news)

I encourage those of you who did not give presentations at the first workshop at GGF16 in Athens (http://gridreliability.nist.gov/) to participate in this one. This event should be a good opportunity to meet other persons with similar interest, to exchange ideas, and to contribute to an important effort. Of course, if you know of others who might be interested, please pass this information along.

As before, the ultimate goal of this effort is to produce a OGF I nformational Document describing grid reliability issues and preliminary requirements. I have been gathering references for this (in addition to what you provided previously) and have updated the unofficial RG home page at http://gridreliability.nist.gov/. Please feel free to provide more.

Please advise me of your availability to participate in the upcoming workshop. I certainly look forward to seeing you there.

Sincerely, Chris Dabrowski
