[wg-all] GGF16 Call for Community Participation

[Julie Wulf-Knoerzer]

Call for Community Participation
GGF16
February 13-16, 2006
Athens, Greece

GGF is comprised of a number of "communities of interest" who either are 
users of grids in their domain or develop innovative approaches to 
perceived roadblocks to the adoption of grids. The Community Program at 
GGF16 seeks to build new and strengthen existing communities of interest in 
GGF.

The Community Program at GGF16 will offer a series of 30-90 minute talks 
and panels emphasizing the applications and operations of grids in research 
and industrial contexts. The Community Program will also consist of half 
and full-day research workshops and tutorials of standards-based 
implementations of grid software.

While there are no formal publication requirements, publications in the 
form of GGF Informational Documents, journal articles/special or equivalent 
are encouraged and all session organizers are required to submit materials 
(including slides) for inclusion on the GGF Community web pages prior to 
the event. Community activities may run in parallel with other GGF 
activities (such as standards sessions) but every attempt will be made in 
scheduling to minimize unnecessary clashes.

Proposals are now being accepted for the Community Program at GGF16 to be 
held February 13-16, 2006, in Athens, Greece.

Online submission form is available at 
http://www.ggf.org/ggf_events_communityInvolvmentProposal.htm.

programs can be viewed at:
