Workshop On Science Agency Uses Of Clouds And Grids Announced

Muncie, Indiana; July 1, 2011 - The Open Grid Forum and Internet2  
today announced a new workshop titled, "Science Agency Uses of Clouds  
and Grids" to be held in Salt Lake City, UT on July 18, 2011. The  
workshop is a follow-on to the previous USDOE-sponsored workshop on  
High Performance Applications of Cloud and Grid Tools held in April,  
2011.

This workshop will serve as a venue to develop formal input to several  
ongoing standards and software roadmapping efforts, including the  
European SIENA Cloud Standards Roadmap project and the US National  
Institute of Science and Technology's Cloud Computing Business Use  
Cases group, as well as to OGF's own standards efforts. International  
contributions to this workshop are encouraged and will be accepted.

Project status updates on cloud and grid framework software efforts  
and major projects are recruited to be presented at this workshop. The  
primary goal of this effort will be to produce a process that will  
effectively inventory and document essentially all large-scale use of  
cloud and grid infrastructures for projects that support science  
agency user communities.

The schedule will consist of an introduction to the goals of the above  
roadmapping efforts presented by representatives from these projects  
and from the workshop sponsors. Materials relating to the inventory  
aspects of this effort are in preparation and will be distributed  
before the meeting. Workshop time will be taken in the morning session  
to present materials gathered to that point and to recruit and gather  
further information from workshop participants, and to go over the  
gathered material for completeness.

The afternoon session will be devoted to presentations from projects  
that have not already presented at the previous HPACG workshop.  
Special presentations from the Open Science Grid on how to create a  
new Virtual Organization and a preview of the upcoming evolution of  
the Teragrid project into the eXtreme Digital era by representatives  
in attendance are anticipated. A special presentation on the Globus  
Online service and other projects of the Globus group will also be made.

Time for other special presentations may also be available; please  
contact the organizers.

This workshop is co-sponsored by the US National IT R&D Large Scale  
Network (LSN) Middleware And Grid Infrastructure Coordination (MAGIC)  
Team, Internet2 and the US Department of Energy with funding from the  
US DOE Office for Advanced Scientific Computing Research.
