Grid Economy Workshop at GGF13
by Stephen Pickles 14 Jan '05

14 Jan '05

Dear SRM Area Chairs, There is a proposed Grid Economy Workshop, to be co-located with GGF13 in Seoul. Find the Call for Papers below. There is room on the programme committee for volunteers to help review papers and so on. If you think you can help out here, please contact Junseok Hwang, the workshop co-chair. If the topics overlap with the interests of your group, please pass the CFP on to your group members. I think the workshop is probably relevant to GESA-WG, RUS-WG, UR-WG and possibly GSA-RG. I hope to see many of you in Seoul. Stephen ==================== Stephen M.

The systems can operate in predefined and organized ways or form the collected resource systems through self-organized and decentralized ways. Even with the various types of abundant resources in the Internet, the resources that can be organized and operated in the presence of multiple resource owners with the uncertainty of resource availability and quality are scarce. Therefore, managing and operating such scarce resources in the Grid systems would bring the need of the economy which will value the need and availability of various types of resources. The creation of stable and scalable economy will support the successful deployment and operation of Global Grid systems in the Internet. This Second International Workshop on Grid Economics and Business Models invites the researchers and practitioners from multiple disciplines to discuss the economy of these systems in concern focusing on the operational and deployment issues of Grid Economy. Topics of interest to this workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: -National Computational Grid Systems and their Economy and Policy -Global Grid Economy Testbeds and Operation -Market Managed Operation of the Internet -The Economics of Grid Standardization -Wireless Grid Systems' Economy and its Operation and Deployment -Pricing, Charging and Accounting Issues of Heterogeneous Resources -Identity Economics and Anonymity of Distributed Systems -Suggestion for Grid Commercialization Strategies -Business Application Development for Grid Service for Grid Service Popularization -System Operating Rule Design Considering Human Factors Important Dates --------------- Paper Submission Deadline : January 25, 2005 Notification of Paper Acceptance : February 11, 2005 Final Paper Submission : February 22, 2005 For more information, please contact the workshop co-chair Junseok Hwang (junhwang(a)snu.ac.kr) or consult the workshop webpage.

Sorry Guys, I had an emergency with my young daughter hence I missed the call this morning. CDDLM is doing fine, we went through discussions around SF-based language spec with the decision to proceed with the formal standards track. We are internally reviewing XML-based language spec and awaiting two other specs to be compelted. AS far as I understand, we plan to attend GGF 13, but this is still not a final decision.
