Workshop on Grid Applications: from Early Adopters to Mainstream Users
In conjunction with GGF14, (June 26-29, Chicago, USA)
http://www.cs.vu.nl/ggf/apps-rg/meetings/ggf14.html
Jointly organized by:
GGF Application Developers and Users Research Group (APPS-RG) & Production
Grid Management Research Group (PGM-RG)
Workshop Organizers:
Thomas Hinke (NASA AMES, USA), Thilo Kielmann (Vrije Universiteit,
Amsterdam, Netherlands), Laura McGinnis (PSC, USA) & David Wallom (Bristol
University, UK)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Call for Papers:
In this workshop, we aim at experience with bridging the gap between early
adopters of grids and the more mainstream use of grid technology. Currently,
grids are mostly on the early adopter side of the gap, asking for the move
to the more mainstream users. For fostering mature production environments,
incentives by application users are vital. We are seeking experience from
early adoptors who would like to become mainstream users, from mainstream
users who would like to use grids, from those who already do, and from
middleware developers and system operators in charge of providing working
grid environments to user communities. We are seeking contributions on the
following topics:
- user experience with early-adoptor and/or mainstream grid applications
- management approaches for production-quality grid environments
- techniques for robust (fault tolerant) grid applications and middleware
- software tools for automatic testing and signaling of error conditions
Our focus is on hands-on experience with existing grid environments,
focusing on bridging the gap between early adoption and production use.
For the workshop presentations, we are seeking papers on the subjects
described above. Papers should be typeset in a single-column format, in 12pt
font, for letter or A4 sized paper. Papers should not exceed 10 pages.
Shorter papers are welcome. Submission format is PDF.
Please submit your paper to David Wallom, by email to
david.wallom(a)bristol.ac.uk, marked as GGF-14 Grid Applications workshop
submission.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Publication: All accepted submissions will be published as a GGF
Informational Document. We will invite the most promising submissions for a
journal special issue in a high-quality journal covering Grid computing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Important Dates: Paper submission: May 05, 2005
Notification of acceptance: May 23, 2005
Workshop: June 26-29, 2005(exact date T.B.D.)

FYI,
the APPS-RG is, as usual, doing a workshop at next GGF.
Cheers, Andre.

Dear SAGA Group,
we are proud to announce the first draft of the SAGA Use
Case document! You find it prominently on our wiki:
http://wiki.cct.lsu.edu/saga/
There is a link to a TXT version, a PDF version, and to the
GridForge document page. The document itself lives in the
SAGA CVS - how to get to the CVS is also documented on the
WIKI main page.
Comments to the document are wolcome on this mailing list,
on the WIKI, and on the GridForge page!
Many thanks to all who contributed use cases, and to all who
worked on the document!
Best wishes,
Andre.

> Call for Community Participation
> GGF14
> June 26-29, 2005
> Chicago, Illinois USA
>
> The primary focus of GGF14 will be the Working and Research Group sessions.
> Groups will focus on the continued development of shared approaches, grid
> specifications and best practices for grids. Several critical drafts will
> be discussed and advanced toward publication during this event.
>
> In addition to these group sessions, GGF will offer a series of 30-60
> minute invited talks and panels on the current and future status of Grids
> in different communities such as sectors of research (e.g., Astronomy) and
> industry (e.g, Telecommunications). New areas such as education are also
> solicited. This "community track" seeks to build new and strengthen
> existing communities of interest in GGF. Both new and existing communities
> are encouraged to submit a brief abstract for presentation in this
> community track. GGF14 attendees will gain unique insights from
> applications and technology experts discussing innovative approaches to
> deploying and using grids. A community track overview document and slides
> will be posted on the GGF14 website.
>
> GGF also welcomes proposals for traditional workshops to be held at
> GGF14. Proposals will be evaluated by essentially the same process (GROC)
> as in previous GGF meetings. Please email communities(a)ggf.org for more
> information if you are interested in proposing a GGF14 Workshop.
>
> The community activities described above may run in parallel with other GGF
> activities but every attempt will be made in scheduling these to minimize
> unnecessary clashes.
>
> Attendee feedback and participation will be helpful in shaping the
> community activities for GGF15, which will be held on October 3-6 in
> Boston. Please send us your opinions!

> GGF COMMUNITY ACTIVITY KEY DATES & DEADLINES
> Workshop Proposal submission deadline - May 6, 2005
> Community Track Abstract submission deadline - May 11, 2005
> Acceptance notification - May 16, 2005
> Community Track slide deadline - June 17, 2005
