The deadline for submissions is this Friday, May 6. Thanks, Julie ++++++++++++++++++ Workshop Requirements: Approximately one month prior to the event, workshop organizers will be required to submit a final agenda and list of committed speakers in order to retain their workshop slot on the agenda. Workshop Reporting Workshop organizers will be required to provide a written summary of the workshop within 3 months of the event. We recommend that the organizers recruit a small team of contributors to use some of the time immediately following the workshop at the GGF event to create a first draft of the workshop report. This is an essential part of the workshop series. Workshop reports may take the form of a GGF Informational document, or they may be submitted to peer reviewed journals, or the group may elect to produce a proceedings via a publisher. In the case of a proceedings or published paper approach, a summary of the workshop should still be provided to the GROC within the 3 month window. Workshop Proposal Submission Form The following minimum information will be required for a workshop proposal to be reviewed by the GROC. 1) One paragraph of what you believe grids are today (as compared to or versus your original architecture paper). A) Workshop Title B) Proposed workshop organizer names and affiliations (possibly incl. review committee for type 2). Be sure to identify yourself if you are a chair of an existing RG/WG. C) RG/WG that will be involved (including potential RG/WGs as well as RG/WGs up for approval). If you are proposing a workshop without being a full RG, please provide a separate RG submission info, including candidate RG name, charter, area, chairs, BOF descriptions, etc. D) Scope and Content (a paragraph or two of the workshop description to be put on the program. E) Potential speakers for type one (invited( and possibly two workshops. Any additional info are welcome including the title of the talk, their abstract, etc. In fact the proposed program may be put here. F) Past History of hosting a similar workshop inside or outside GGF. G) Duration of workshop ? half day (2-3 slots incl. Breaks) or whole day (4-5 slots) H) Estimated # of participants (if possible) I) Publication Plans --- please indicate if you have plan to publish the workshop result with a certain publisher. If left out we will assume that the workshop product will be a GGF Informational Document. (Some of the information above may not apply to your workshop and thus may be left blank.) ++++++++++++++++++ At 08:08 AM 4/28/2005 -0500, Geoffrey Fox wrote: >Sounds a very good idea to me! >There are some hurdles out of my control but Julie >can tell you about these if you don't know GROC process > >Ian Foster wrote: >>Dear Communities People: >> >>I want to enquire as to whether it could be feasible to organize a >>workshop at GGF14 based around GT4.

I will include a few-sentence descriptor at that time, based on the information that I have from you (although you can provide a new one, including format details, which I understand you weren't able to do until you heard from me :-). New for GGF14, we are asking for all presentation slides in advance (deadline is June 17) and I ask for your help in making this happen.

From foster at mcs.anl.gov Fri May 6 00:13:39 2005 From: foster at mcs.anl.gov (Ian Foster) Date: Fri, 06 May 2005 00:13:39 -0500 Subject: Proposed Workshop at GGF Message-ID: <5.2.0.9.2.20050506001052.026a66f0@pop.mcs.anl.gov> A) Workshop Title Globus Toolkit Version 4: Status and Experiences B) Proposed workshop organizer names and affiliations (possibly incl. review committee for type 2). Be sure to identify yourself if you are a chair of an existing RG/WG. Organizers: Ian Foster, Argonne National Laboratory & University of Chicago I may recruit a co-organizer or two, but I haven't done so yet! C) RG/WG that will be involved (including potential RG/WGs as well as RG/WGs up for approval). If you are proposing a workshop without being a full RG, please provide a separate RG submission info, including candidate RG name, charter, area, chairs, BOF descriptions, etc. This workshop will be coordinated with the OGSA-WG. D) Scope and Content (a paragraph or two of the workshop description to be put on the program. Globus Toolkit version 4 (GT4), released on April 30 2005, represents a significant advance over earlier GT versions in terms of software quality, functionality, and standards conformance. This workshop will provide an opportunity for people not only to learn about GT4 but also to hear from groups working with it. Presentations at the workshop will focus in particular on experiences implementing and using the standards that underlie GT4 and that in many cases form the basis for ongoing discussions in OGSA-related working groups: the discussions of practical experiences with Web services standards in particular may provide a useful counterpoint to the often academic debates concerning the pros and cons of different approaches. The discussion of GT4 experiences should also be relevant to RGs concerned with Grid applications. Additional details on GT4: Quality has been a major emphasis during the 18 month development period and in particular the 6 month alpa-beta period, in which over 150 people participated. Functionality includes not only the GridFTP data movement service, GRAM job submission and management service, Reliable File Transfer service, Replica Location Service, Community Authorization Service, OGSA Data Access and Integration, and MyProxy services included in previous releases (although with multiple-order-of-magnitude improvements in scalability in several cases) but also new services such as a Workspace Management service (for dynamic accounts), Data Replication Service, Grid Teleoperation Control Protocol service, and an expanded set of Monitoring and Discovery services. In terms of standards conformance, GT4 provides probably the most full-featured implementation of Web services security available anywhere; a full-featured GridFTP implementation; and support for the WS Resource Framework and WS-Notification specifications in C, Java, and Python containers. E) Potential speakers for type one (invited) and possibly two workshops. Any additional info are welcome including the title of the talk, their abstract, etc. In fact the proposed program may be put here. We propose a workshop of invited talks, as follows: GT4 Introduction (90 mins) -- largely Globus Alliance members Overview (30 mins) Implementation of Web Services Standards (15) Performance (15) Future directions (15) Related Tools (15) Early Experiences with GT4 (90 mins) -- members of the Globus user community China Grid (15) GridCast, Belfast (15) Intel (15) Condor-G and GriPhyN (15) Discussion (30) F) Past History of hosting a similar workshop inside or outside GGF. I co-organized the Designing and Building Grid Services workshop, and have organized other meetings. G) Duration of workshop half day (2-3 slots incl. Breaks) or whole day (4-5 slots) Half day: 2 x 90 mins H) Estimated # of participants (if possible) 100 I) Publication Plans --- please indicate if you have plan to publish the workshop result with a certain publisher. If left out we will assume that the workshop product will be a GGF Informational Document. We will prepare a brief report summarizing the content of the workshop and discussion. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Julie? ;-), Please find below a proposal for a Community Track session at GGF-14. To my knowledge, there are no special time constraints on the scheduling for this session (but, of course, it would be nice to be earlier in the day when everybody is fresh). Please let me know if this session is officially accepted (and scheduled) so I can coordinate with the speakers. Best Regards, --Craig ============================================================== GGF-14 Community Track Session Proposal Network-Centric Operations Community Session Session Chair: Dr. Craig A. Lee, lee at aero.org Description: Network centric operations (NCO) denote a large class of distributed applications and infrastructure for national security. This includes the Global Information Grid concept. Designing and deploying such an infrastructure will require the close coordination of a number of specific technologies, such as grids, web services, and service-oriented architectures. Coordination of these technologies will concomitantly require the close coordination of the industry leaders involved in network-centric operations. This session will bring together NCO industry leaders to publicly discuss goals and issues, and provide an opportunity for further collaborations in this important area. Speakers (confirmed): Ken Cureton, Sr. Eng. Manager, NCO Arch Eng, Boeing Chris Gunderson, W2CoG, Executive Director Bob Marcus, SRI and Colorado Grid Initiative From sol at deepwebtech.com Tue May 10 15:17:02 2005 From: sol at deepwebtech.com (Sol Lederman) Date: Tue, 10 May 2005 14:17:02 -0600 Subject: Abstract for proposed talk at GGF14 Message-ID: <1115756222.31038.22.camel@solinux.deepwebtech.lan> Hello, Deep Web Technologies would like to present our commercial Grid-based IR technology at GGF14.Below is our proposed abstract. Please confirm receipt of this message. Sincerely, Sol Lederman Deep Web Techologies 505-672-0007 Applying Grid Computing Research to Commercial Information Retrieval Applications Los Alamos New Mexico-based Deep Web Technologies (DWT) is developing technology that will replace the search engine powering Science.gov with a cutting edge Grid-based application. DWT's next-generation search, retrieval, and analysis technology will advance the state-of-the art of Distributed Information Retrieval and make possible a new generation of Grid-based commercial applications. Science.gov is a strategic first deployment of DWT's new technology as Science.gov is a showcase search portal for the Federal government; it is a collaborative effort of 12 Federal agencies (the Science.gov Alliance) to share the output of their best research with the public. The work also helps to unite the CENDI community, comprised of senior government scientific and technical information managers. DWT, with US Department of Energy funding, will be deploying the new technology in October, 2005. Carl Sylvia, lead architect for DWT's Grid technologies, will present a technical overview of the company's highly distributed, scalable, and modular IR framework that will take federated searching and analysis of deep web content, not easily accessible to Google and other search engines, to a whole new level. Mr. Sylvia will discuss how the fruits of the research of the Grid community combined with the support of the Science.gov Alliance and of CENDI, have proven critical to the development of the novel architecture needed to power the development and deployment of commercial next generation Grid-based IR products.

Jonathan is a Senior Researcher at Fujitsu Labs America and led the Agentcities project. He has been directly involved in the FIPA agents standardisation activity and in the W3C Web Ontology Working Group. The objectives of this session are: 1. To discuss grid problems which may be addressed by technologies developed in the agent based computing community 2. Specifically to consider the role of agents in the context of the large number of grid services anticipated in the future 3. To suggest next steps in engagement between these communities The proposed session involves two short talks and a period of discussion. This proposal arises from a meeting held in April with a number of senior members of the agents community as part of the GGF community council engagement with "technology innovators". We believe this is an exciting opportunity to bring the Agents community to GGF, with a view to future engagement in the standards process. If approved, this event will be advertised to the agents community, including the FIPA standards body. Thank you for considering this proposal. -- Dave David De Roure, University of Southampton Jonathan Dale, Fujitsu Labs America From wenbo.mao at hp.com Tue May 10 09:18:49 2005 From: wenbo.mao at hp.com (Wenbo Mao) Date: Tue, 10 May 2005 15:18:49 +0100 Subject: Talk submission to Community Track Message-ID: <4280C2C9.4000705@hp.com> Dear Sir, I would like to submit a community talk to GGF14. Here is the title and abstract. The talk slides are also attached. Thank you for your review. Background: We have been approved a RG in Sec Area (TCGridSecurity RG). The RG has been working on interesting research topics utilizing the industrial standard technology Trusted Computing, with open-source based augmentation codes to GSI scheduled for being delivered to GGF within one year timeframe. We noticed however that the work must be accompanied with adequate dissemination work in the GGF forum. Hence we propose for a talk in the community track.

The TC's notion of trust and security can be described as conformed system behaviours of a platform environment such that the conformation can be attested to a remote challenger. We consider that such a notion of integrity protection of resources naturally suits the security requirements for Grid computing or science collaborations. We identify and discuss in this paper a number of innovations that the TC technology could offer for improving the Grid security. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Please do not schedule this track on Monday as one of the confirmed speakers has another speaking commitment elsewhere that day. Please let me know if this session is officially accepted (and scheduled) so I can coordinate with the speakers. Best Regards, --Craig ============================================================== GGF-14 Community Track Session Proposal Space-related Grid Applications Session Chair: Dr. Craig A. Lee, lee at aero.org Description: Space systems are necessarily large and distributed. These systems typically involve satellite constellations, multiple ground stations, and information systems for command and control and data dissemination. Hence, current space-related systems involve de facto "grids" but, in fact, are "one-off" systems that are not built to any standards for interoperability, extensibility, fault tolerance, or distributed system security. Given this reality, there are many potential specific areas for the application of grid technology in space and ground support systems. A very common and recurrent need is that for data grids to manage the dissemination and access to very large data stores. This session will bring together internationally recognized experts in their fields to present their work and discuss further opportunities for grids in space applications.
