All;

FYI for those that didn't see this, it will take place all day Monday of 
OGF 32.  Lots of interesting stuff happening in this area, for those 
that wish to attend.

*Workshop On Science Agency Uses Of Clouds And Grids Announced*

Muncie, Indiana; July 1, 2011 - The Open Grid Forum <http://www.ogf.org>
and Internet2 <http://internet2.org> today announced a new workshop
titled, "Science Agency Uses of Clouds and Grids
<http://www.ogf.org/SAUCG/>" to be held in Salt Lake City, UT on July
18, 2011. The workshop is a follow-on to the previous USDOE-sponsored
workshop on High Performance Applications of Cloud and Grid Tools
<http://www.ogf.org/HPACG> held in April, 2011.

This workshop will serve as a venue to develop formal input to several
ongoing standards and software roadmapping efforts, including the
European SIENA Cloud Standards Roadmap <http://www.sienainitiative.eu/>
project and the US National Institute of Science and Technology's Cloud
Computing Business Use Cases
<http://collaborate.nist.gov/twiki-cloud-computing/bin/view/CloudComputing/BusinessUseCases> 

group, as well as to OGF's own standards efforts
<http://www.ogf.org/standards/>. International contributions to this
workshop are encouraged and will be accepted.

Project status updates on cloud and grid framework software efforts and
major projects are recruited to be presented at this workshop. The
primary goal of this effort will be to produce a process that will
effectively inventory and document essentially all large-scale use of
cloud and grid infrastructures for projects that support science agency
user communities.

The schedule will consist of an introduction to the goals of the above
roadmapping efforts presented by representatives from these projects and
from the workshop sponsors. Materials relating to the inventory aspects
of this effort are in preparation and will be distributed before the
meeting. Workshop time will be taken in the morning session to present
materials gathered to that point and to recruit and gather further
information from workshop participants, and to go over the gathered
material for completeness.

The afternoon session will be devoted to presentations from projects
that have not already presented at the previous HPACG
<http://www.ogf.org/HPACG> workshop. Special presentations from the Open
Science Grid <http://opensciencegrid.org/> on how to create a new
Virtual Organization
<http://www.opensciencegrid.org/About/Getting_Started_with_OSG/Form_New_VO>
and a preview of the upcoming evolution of the Teragrid project into the
eXtreme Digital <https://www.teragrid.org/web/about/XDTransition> era by
representatives in attendance are anticipated. A special presentation on
the Globus Online <http://globusonline.org/> service and other projects
of the Globus group will also be made.

Time for other special presentations may also be available; please
contact the organizers <mailto:standards at ogf.org>.

This workshop is co-sponsored by the US National IT R&D Large Scale
Network (LSN) Middleware And Grid Infrastructure Coordination (MAGIC)
Team <http://www.nitrd.gov/subcommittee/lsn/magic/>, Internet2
<http://internet2.org/> and the US Department of Energy
<http://energy.gov/> with funding from the US DOE Office for Advanced
Scientific Computing Research <http://science.energy.gov/ascr/>.
