Campus Grids Workshop Proposal - Last Call
by Laura F McGinnis 21 Jul '05

21 Jul '05

I need to hear back from the PGS-RG and Communities group that there is active support for doing this workshop at GGF15. So far I have only had feedback from Geoffrey. I have incorporated his comments into the revised version, which is posted on the PGS-RG website and given below in plaintext. I need confirmation from David, Judith and Jay that you are available to serve with me on the organizing committee. We also need volunteers to help with submission reviews, when the time comes. Also, Jay, can you confirm that Harvard will be able to host this as a full day workshop for 50-100 people on Sunday, October 2, please? If we need a conference call to discuss this before it's submitted, please let us know on the mailing list and I'll set something up. thx LM PS - I will be on vacation from August 8-19. It would be helpful if this could be resolved before I go, since the first call for GGF15 registration has already gone out. ====================== GGF15 Workshop Proposal: Campus Grids Workshop Description: PGS-RG (Production Grid Services) is looking to sponsor a full day of case studies from campus grid sites, describing their grids. Harvard (Jay Sircar) has offered to host this workshop on their campus, probably on Sunday, 2-October. The cases that will be presented should discuss how the grid came about, how they got funding and executive buy-in/support, what it's used for, etc. We want to give each speaker a good block of time to present their grid, but we're pretty open about how the presenters define "campus". This leaves us open to include enterprise and commercial grids, if they can demonstrate a campus-type perspective (rather than special-purpose only grids). The full-day timeframe should give each grid 30-45 minutes to present their case study. To follow up, then, we'd like to host a series of panels at GGF15, to talk about commonalities across the grids - formation methodologies, recruiting applications, best/common practices, lessons learned & pitfalls, etc. The pre-GGF workshop talks should be pretty parallel; the panels at GGF would then cut across all of the grids, but addressing different issues in more detail. We want to get a good cross-section not only of presentations, but also of participants, so part of the workshop planning will have to include outreach to campuses that might not traditionally attend GGF meetings. a) When you want meeting and how long: We are proposing a full-day workshop on Sunday, 2 October 2005, the day before GGF15 opens. To facilitate logistics, Jay Sircar of Harvard University has offered to host the workshop on Harvard's campus. This is close enough to the GGF venue that hotels and transportation should not be adversely complicated. We would request that GGF arrange for the conference rate at the hotels to include Saturday 1-October and Sunday, 2-October, to accommodate workshop participants. b) How we or you advertise/estimate of interest: The calls for submissions and participation should be extended to all GGF members as well as sites involved in providing campus grids to their populations. We anticipate 50-100 attendees, based on past workshop experiences and the initial interest expressed for this topic. c) Related meetings: In addition to the workshop prior to the opening of GGF, we would like to present a summary of the workshop at GGF and host a series of open discussions, for workshop participants to discuss in more detail specific aspects of providing production-quality campus grids. d) Publication: The presentations and followup discussions will be summarized into a GGF informational document. A summary web page will be made available on the PGS-RG website, including 1) Metadata about meeting (abstract etc.) 2) Presentations 3) Links to useful resources 4) Comments on discussions e) Workshop Committee: Laura McGinnis, Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, Co-chair PGS-RG lfm(a)psc.edu Judith Utley, Old Dominion University, Co-chair PGS-RG jputley(a)earthlink.net David Wallom, Bristol University, Co-chair PGS-RG david.wallom(a)bristol.ac.uk Jay Sircar, Harvard University jsircar(a)harvard.edu ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Laura F.
