Hello everyone,

Sorry for the lack of communication, but my personal life kept me very busy lately.

As you know GGF15 will be in Boston October 3-6. I initially thought that we could have a workshop at this GGF but it is coming up very fast and the timeline may be just too short. However, I would like to have a session or two at this GGF. What would be good to do at this point is to decide on the topics people want to discuss. So, could you please send your ideas to the mailing list.

Some topics that we included in our charter are:

Business and Science Workflows in the Grid Environment.

Workflow Management Research in Web Services and Applicability to Grid Services

Workflow Execution Systems in Grids

Fault Management in Workflow Execution

Hope to hear from you,

-Ewa
