Leveraging Site Infrastructure for Multi-Site Grids
Monday, 03-October
11:00am - 7:30p

This community activity will explore the how VOs spanning multiple sites 
can benefit from increased leveraging of the infrastructure of those sites. 
Both traditional high-performance computing sites as well as other types of 
institutions such as academic campuses will be explored. Also explored will 
be some of the challenges involved in this model, including standards, 
VO-vs-site roles and attributes, and privacy.

For more information or if you are interested in presenting, please contact 
Von Welch (vwelch at ncsa.uiuc.edu).

Use of Web Services for NM Applications
Wednesday, 05-October
11:00a - 3:30p

The "Use of Web Services for NM Applications" community activity is aimed 
at anyone who feels that they need more Web Services knowledge. This 
pseudo-tutorial will provide a thorough overview of Web Services whilst 
allowing participants to ask detailed (and perhaps lengthy) questions. The 
sessions are being organised for groups in which development of Web 
Services, although required, is not the core business of the group. The 
organisers, the Network Measurements-WG, are one such group.

For more information, please contact Mark Leese (m.j.leese at dl.ac.uk).

Grid Requirements, Roadmaps, and Use Cases
Thursday, 06-October
11:00a - 3:30p

This GGF-15 community session will present several short talks on these 
topics, including a presentation on the GGF Use Case Repository prototype. 
The talks will be followed by a short panel discussion and questions from 
the floor.

For more information, please contact Craig Lee (craig at rush.aero.org).
