I've not had time to think about it (I've been too busy with a panic over project deliverables and vacation) nor are there any currently proposed topics for discussion. If there's something to discuss, we're happy to meet though. :-) Donal.

CFP: Int. Grid Interoperability and Interoperation Workshop (IGIIW 2007): Deadline extended until July, 29
by Morris Riedel 21 Jul '07

21 Jul '07

FYI: Due to several requests for an extension, the deadline is extended to July 29th, 2007. -------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS International Grid Interoperability and Interoperation Workshop 2007 (IGIIW 2007) Bangalore, India, December 10th - 13th (1 day), 2007 http://omii-europe.org/OMII-Europe/igiiw2007.html to be held in conjunction with 3rd IEEE - Int. Conference on e-Science and Grid Computing 2007 Bangalore, India, December 10th -- 13th, 2007 http://www.escience2007.org -------------------------------------------------------------------- SCOPE The workshop will discuss the interoperability and interoperation aspects of current Grid and Web technologies, production Grid infrastructures in general, and the interoperability through emerging open standards in particular. In the context of this workshop, the difference between interoperability and interoperation is as follows: Interoperation is specifically defined as what needs to be done to get production Grid infrastructures (e.g. DEISA, EGEE, TeraGrid, OSG) to work together as a fast short-term achievement using as much existing technologies as available today. Hence, this is not the perfect solution and different than interoperability that is defined as the native ability of Grids and Grid middleware (UNICORE, gLite, Globus Toolkit) to interact directly via well defined interfaces and common open standards. This will enable cross-Grid use cases and applications from a growing range of domains in industry and science. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the area of interoperability and interoperation within Grid infrastructures and distributed environments, to exchange and share their experiences, new ideas, and latest research results as well as open problems. Enough time for intensive discussions will be provided and outcomes of the workshop will be summarized in the session. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Cross-Grid scientific and business applications * Grid system components that enable interoperability/interoperation * Boundaries and open problems related to interoperability/interoperation * Scientific/business scenarios for Grid interoperability/interoperation * Cross-Grid brokering and workflows, semantics and languages * Security challenges/solutions for Grid interoperability/interoperation * Management & monitoring of interoperable/interoperating Grids * Visualizations for applications of more than one Grid environment * Grid middleware interoperability/interoperation * Roadmaps of Grid technologies for interoperability/interoperation * Performance evaluation of interoperable/interoperating Grid components * Reliability & fault-tolerance during interoperability/interoperation * Autonomic behavior in Grid interoperability/interoperation PROCEEDINGS Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. More information can be found at http://www.escience2007.org/Papersubmission.htm PAPER SUBMISSIONS Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original, unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the workshop. Submitted papers should be not more than 8 pages, including figures and references, of double column text using single-spaced, 10-point font size on 8.5 x 11 inch pages, as per IEEE 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines which can be found at ftp://pubftp.computer.org/press/outgoing/proceedings/. Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format as an e-mail attachment to igiiw(a)fz-juelich.de. All papers will be peer reviewed and comments will be provided to the authors. IMPORTANT DATES (Old Submissions deadline: July 22th, 2007) Extended Submission deadline: July 29th, 2007 Notification of acceptance: August 30th, 2007 Camera-ready version due: September 14th, 2007 Workshop date: December 10th-13th (1 day), 2007 PROGRAM CHAIR Morris Riedel (Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany) PROGRAM COMMITTEE John Brooke (University of Manchester, UK) Ake Edlund (Royal Institute of Technology KTH, Sweden) Laurence Field (CERN, Switzerland) Ian Foster (University of Chicago, USA) Geoffrey Fox (Indiana University, USA) Wolfgang Gentzsch (D-Grid, Germany) Antonia Ghiselli (INFN, Italy) Fredrik Hedman (Royal Institute of Technology KTH, Sweden) Neil Chu Hong (EPCC, UK) Dieter Kranzlmueller (Linz University, Austria) Erwin Laure (CERN, Switzerland) Daniel Mallmann( Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany) Moreno Marzolla (INFN, Italy) John-Paul Navarro (Argonne National Laboratory, USA) Steven Newhouse (Microsoft, USA) Ruth Pordes (Fermilab, USA) Ralf Ratering (Intel GmbH, Germany) Markus Schulz (CERN, Switzerland) David Snelling (Fujitsu Laboratories of Europe, UK) Thomas Soddemann (RZG, Germany) Valerio Venturi (INFN, Italy) Von Welch (National Center for Supercomputing Applications, USA) Philipp Wieder (Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION For further information please refer to http://omii-europe.org/OMII-Europe/igiiw2007.html or send e-mail to igiiw(a)fz-juelich.de .

UR-WG group future
by Morris Riedel 16 Jul '07

16 Jul '07

Hi UR team, at OGF20 there were several discussions and one of them was that the acting co-chair Laura will step down as a chair. Is this still the idea? Furthermore, are there any plans about other co-chairs for UR-WG currently? An update of the status of the group would be very much appreciated by the RUS-WG team since we depend on UR-WG.

Two RUS Sessions requested for OGF21
by Morris Riedel 16 Jul '07

16 Jul '07

Hi RUS team, I just requested two sessions at OGF21 to discuss our set of specifications and the implementations that adopt our specifications. What about UR? Will there be a session for UR as well?

***SPAM*** Sessions at OGF21
by Morris Riedel 07 Jul '07

07 Jul '07

Hi folks, we are able to request sessions for OGS21 now, so I propose the following 3 sessions: (1) RUS-WG Heavily work on the specifications, open issues (2) RUS-WG Adopters of the RUS specifications, Status of implementations (3) UR-WG/RUS-WG Joint discussions @Donal: Can you apply for this session as acting UR-WG co-chair Furthermore, I would like to ask the following: (a) Who will be at OGF21? I will be there. (b) What are the news about the open co-chair question within the UR-WG, discussions ongoing?
