[Sill, Alan]

Reminder: The Open Grid Forum will meet with all appropriate working and community groups(*) at the International Conference on Cloud and Autonomic Computing (CAC 2014) to take place September 8-12, 2014 at Imperial College in London, UK. Registration for CAC 2014 includes and covers attendance at all OGF 42 co-located sessions including the welcome reception Tuesday and conference dinner Wednesday evenings, respectively.

If you have not already done so, please register for this event as soon as possible!

Other co-located conferences for this event include the 8th IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO 2014) and the14th IEEE International Conference on Peer-to-Peer Computing (P2P’14).

In addition to the other activities at these conferences, OGF will host BOF and tutorial sessions, working group and community implementation group meetings on topics related to OGF technologies in a wide variety of areas in advanced distributed computing. Attendees who wish to try out software for the tutorial of the Data Format Description Language (DFDL) may download IBM DFDL (which contains eclipse tooling for creating DFDL schemas and visually testing them) and/or the open source Daffodil implementation ahead of time to use during the tutorial. IBM DFDL may be obtained by downloading and installing the IBM Integration Bus developer edition from the "Getting Started with DFDL page" on IBM developerWorks: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/se-dfdl/ using links near the end of the page.

OGF is also co-sponsoring the 2nd International Workshop on Autonomic Management of high performance Grid and Cloud Computing (AMGCC’14) co-located there, to take place on Friday, September 12, 2014, and note that the CAC 2014 conference also includes the 2014 International Workshop on Autonomic Cloud Cybersecurity (ACC '14) to take place Monday, September 8.

Many OGF group sessions have been planned, including meetings of the DRMAA, OCCI, JSDL, BES, CAOPS, VOMS-PROC and IDEL working groups and the Federated Security community group, a tutorial and demonstration for the DFDL standard, an OGF Town Hall and a future events planning session, a BoF on “Use of Cloud and Container Technologies in Grids”, along with the other co-located conference poster session, workshops, reception and conference dinner. For a full list of OGF events including these co-located activities, see the OGF 42 Schedule page.

(*) Note that this time, the OGF NSI working group and its associated activities will be held two weeks later at the Nordunet 2014 conference rather than at OGF 42 itself.
