This one day workshop, looking at the impact of Web 2.0 technologies and
thinking on Grid and e-Science, is being held on Monday January 29 at
OGF19 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA, which runs from January 29 -
February 2, 2007. 

The workshop features a series of invited talks starting with an
introduction to the technologies and philosophy of Web 2.0 and including
an update on Semantic Grid activities, with an emphasis on social
networking and collaboration in the context of Grid and e-Science.

The keynote speaker is Carole Goble, who will be presenting
myExperiment, a personalised environment which enables scientists to
share, re-use and repurpose experiments. myExperiment is a very exciting
initiative which owes far more to social networking websites such as
MySpace and YouTube than to the traditional portals of Grid computing -
it has recently been featured by New Scientist.

One of the workshop sessions is dedicated to position papers and a
panel.
We welcome short papers (2-4 pages) describing both current and proposed
activities under the general theme of Web 2.0, e-Science and Grids, to
be presented as short presentations or demonstrations. Papers will be
published as part of the OGF document arising from the workshop. 

If you plan to submit a position paper, please send your title and
abstract as soon as possible (and no later than December 20) to Jade
Lodwidge (jl3 at ecs.soton.ac.uk) - you will receive prompt feedback.  The
papers, in Word or PDF, must be submitted before January 22 so that we
can finalise the programme and make the papers available to workshop
attendees in advance.

Please see the workshop web page http://www.semanticgrid.org/OGF/ogf19/
for the latest information.

We look forward to seeing you in North Carolina.
