OGF23/OGF-Europe Call for Participation
Session proposals are being accepted through
In addition to OGF's chartered groups and Birds of a
Feather (BoF) sessions, the Program Committee is soliciting proposals for
content that support its mission of accelerating grid adoption in both research
and industry. While the Program Committee will consider all proposed content
related to grid technology and usage, they are particularly seeking content
related to the following topics:
OGF Specification
Adoption
OGF23 will continue OGF's emphasis on grid specification
adoption with a multi-session track showcasing implementations of OGF
specifications. Demonstrations and
implementation experiences are encouraged as part of these sessions.
Digital Repositories
Under the remit of the
OGF-Europe project, funded by the European Commission, OGF-Europe will hold a
Community Outreach Seminar that explores how digital repositories in research,
government, and commercial settings are successful leveraging grid technologies
and infrastructures.
Data Management in a Grid
Environment
As a follow-up to the full-day workshop held at OGF22 on
data movement and management, OGF is soliciting further proposals for sessions
that discuss practical approaches and best practices around managing data in
either an eScience or a commercial setting.
Best Practices
In addition to
developing grid specifications that lead to interoperable grid software, OGF
also produces Best Practice documents that define a particular challenge found
in deploying or managing grids and grid applications and then suggest a
functional solution (e.g., practice) that solves the identified challenge.
Related Community Content
As
with traditional OGF event programs, the OGF23 Program Committee welcomes
submissions of all types (case studies, technology updates, panels, tutorials,
etc.). Individuals or organizations proposing workshops will contribute to a
publishable “Post-Event report” compiled by OGF-Europe and distributed to major
stakeholders giving an overview summary report of the outcomes and findings of
the workshop. In addition to the
explicit solicitations above, additional topics of interest include but are not
limited to:
Tutorials
OGF and OGF-Europe is soliciting proposals for
multiple half-day or full-day tutorials, which differ from workshops and other
community content in that they are extremely hands-on activities with a clear
expectation of knowledge and skill transfer. Tutorial topics may include:
developing grid services; deploying grid tools; building grid applications;
managing grid infrastructures; and other topics where skills can be taught and
transferred to tutorial participants. Tutorials may also be targeted to decision
makers such as managers or architects exploring grid technologies for the first
time. In this case, a tutorial may include overviews of benefits, costs of
deployment, timeframes and manpower requirements, and other useful information
for organizations wishing to leverage grids.
