Community Track session proposal for GGF-14

[Craig Lee]

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please find below a proposal for a Community Track session at GGF-14.
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.

Speakers:
Liping Di, GMU, grid-enabled OGC project (confirmed)
Dan Crichton, JPL (confirmed)
Reagan Moore, SDSC, IVO (confirmed)
