Dear All,
Just a few more comments by email for the speaker issue
following some of the conversation from the last teleconference.
Since the event is in Europe, I think (even if I understood
that policy related talks are less desired than other issues) it might still be
a good idea to include e-IRG chairman (Leif Laaksonen) to review e-IRG policies
and in addition the e-Science activities in Europe.
Another interested area I mentioned in one of my previous
mail was the regional grid activities in Nordic countries (NDGF, Nordic Data
Grid Facility) with a possible technical talk, in case a session related to
national and regional grid efforts will take place. I have exchanges mail about
this with Wolfgang Gentzsch, since I understood he is planning this particular
issue.
I had to leave before the industry related session was
finished, so here are some additional proposals for that part:
-
Hannelore Hammerle mentioned the
EGEE Industry day related to bioinformatics held in
-
Telecom companies have recently
mentioned ‘grid’ more often than before in their powerpoints…
They usually consider grid differently than academic, but could give some views
about (mobile) applications and grids etc. For example a speaker from
-
EU NESSI platform considers
applications and services, in which grid is mentioned time to time. I do not
know how far they have reached, but a status report with presentation of
planned activities (next steps) would be interesting for industry session
Greetings,
Kimmo
