Call for Participation 

The 19th Open Grid Forum - OGF19
January 29-February 2, 2007 
Chapel Hill, NC USA 

OGF 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 or grid research. The OGF19 Program
seeks to build new and strengthen existing communities of interest in OGF
including eScience and enterprise. 

The OGF19 Program will offer a series of 30-90 minute talks and panels
emphasizing the applications and operations of grids in research and
commercial contexts. It will also consist of half and full-day research
workshops of standards-based implementations of grid software. 

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

Proposals are now being accepted for the OGF19 Program. Only proposals
submitted online prior to 17 November will be considered. To submit a
proposal, visit: http://www.ogf.org/gf/session_request/commreq.php 
Acceptance notices will be sent during the last week of November or the
first week of December. 

Details (examples, abstracts and slides) of past successful OGF programs can
be viewed at: http://www.ogf.org/GGF16/schedule/community.php
