FYI, 

the APPS-RG is, as usual, doing a workshop at next GGF.  

Cheers, Andre.

> Call for Papers:
> 
> In this workshop, we aim at experience with bridging the gap between early
> adopters of grids and the more mainstream use of grid technology. Currently,
> grids are mostly on the early adopter side of the gap, asking for the move
> to the more mainstream users. For fostering mature production environments,
> incentives by application users are vital. We are seeking experience from
> early adoptors who would like to become mainstream users, from mainstream
> users who would like to use grids, from those who already do, and from
> middleware developers and system operators in charge of providing working
> grid environments to user communities. We are seeking contributions on the
> following topics: 
> 
> - user experience with early-adoptor and/or mainstream grid applications 
> - management approaches for production-quality grid environments 
> - techniques for robust (fault tolerant) grid applications and middleware 
> - software tools for automatic testing and signaling of error conditions 
> 
> Our focus is on hands-on experience with existing grid environments,
> focusing on bridging the gap between early adoption and production use. 
> For the workshop presentations, we are seeking papers on the subjects
> described above. Papers should be typeset in a single-column format, in 12pt
> font, for letter or A4 sized paper. Papers should not exceed 10 pages.
> Shorter papers are welcome. Submission format is PDF. 
> 
> Please submit your paper to David Wallom, by email to
> david.wallom at bristol.ac.uk, marked as GGF-14 Grid Applications workshop
> submission. 
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
> Publication: All accepted submissions will be published as a GGF
> Informational Document. We will invite the most promising submissions for a
> journal special issue in a high-quality journal covering Grid computing. 
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
> Important Dates: Paper submission: May 05, 2005 
> Notification of acceptance: May 23, 2005 
> Workshop: June 26-29, 2005(exact date T.B.D.)
