> Session Summary:
>
> This workshop will provide a showcase of standards and community activity
> within GGF by bringing together groups in three different areas (Standards
> Applications, Community Industry Applications & Community Research
> Applications). Through a series of presentations we will show the current
> state of the standards activity and critically the current barriers to
> pervasive adoption as perceived by the consuming user community. Finally, a
> panel session will help to define areas of collaboration and potentially new
> areas for standards development.
>
> Session Description:
>
> GGF has an active standards and community areas focusing on engagement with
> application developers and tool builders in research and industry. For these
> separate areas to work effectively we need to build a relationship where the
> APIs being developed within the standards area are relevant to the research
> and industry consumers, and in turn the application and tool builders are
> communicating to the standards area their requirements in terms of stable
> defined interfaces.
>
> With the greater emphasis on GGF's redefined standards and community
> functions, and the factorization of the standards area into having an
> 'umbrella' research group to drive the coordinated development of a set of
> consistent APIs across several working groups, there is a need to establish
> the communication links between the standards and community areas for
> Applications.
>
> This workshop, hopefully the first of many, will start to establish the
> communication links and provide a showcase as to the current state of the
> standards development and the current priorities for application and tool
> development in industry and research. In addition, it will provide a general
> dissemination mechanism of activity to developers and users (both critical
> consumers in terms of achieving pervasive grid adoption) and the wider GGF
> community as to activity in the standards and community areas.
