Call for Participation: GlobusWORLD 2006

By: Ovais Khan
The GlobusWORLD Community Program at GridWorld. Join the Globus Software Community and GGF18 Participants at GridWorld 2006 at the Washington Convention Center.

Whether you're a Globus expert with technical advice to share, or an executive with visions for the future of open source enterprise Grid computing, GlobusWORLD is the premier event for delivering your message to the Grid community. In 2005 hundreds of Grid professionals from research and industry attended GlobusWORLD to discuss Grid adoption issues, receive training and exchange information related to Globus Software, the open-source solution for Grid Computing. This year we join forces with IDG World Expo and GGF to present the most comprehensive event on Grid computing to date.

The GlobusWORLD program will offer a wide variety of conference sessions, mini-symposiums, panel discussions, and tutorials. Speaking opportunities range from highly technical research, development, and deployment presentations to enterprise targeted panels on commercial Grid adoption considerations. The GlobusWORLD program will run in parallel with other GridWorld program tracks and every attempt will be made in scheduling to minimize unnecessary clashes.

Submissions may be wide ranging and should be centered on the theme of Globus Software in Grid Computing applications solutions and / or technology.

KEY DATES AND DEADLINES
Abstract submission deadline - May 26, 2006
Acceptance notification - June 2, 2006
Presentation Slides Due - September 1, 2006
GlobusWORLD Date - September 11-15, 2006

Grid 2.0: The Global Grid Gets Hip

By: Ovais Khan
A nice article written By Tom Gibbs appeared in Grid Today. I have some concerns if this is the right time for Grid 2.0 as we still do not have many commercial implementations of the Grid 1.0.

Following are some excerpts from the article. A nice reading


I think that the Grid community is going through a similar metamorphosis from "Grid 1.0," which was born on the Web in the early 1990s along with Web 1.0. Interestingly, many of the same folks and the organizations they worked for were involved with the birth of both. The benchmark application for Web 1.0 is Netscape, which had its roots in Mosaic, which was developed at NCSA. Similarly, the benchmark application for Grid 1.0 is Globus, which has its roots with the distributed computing project at Argonne National Laboratory. Maybe it's the water in Illinois.

Call for Particiation CCGrid 2006

By: Ovais Khan
6th IEEE International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid - CCGrid 2006
16-19 May 2006
SMU Campus, Singapore

CCGrid 2006 (http://pdcc.ntu.edu.sg/ccgrid2006) will be held jointly with GridAsia 2006

Scope
CCGrid 2006 is the sixth in a series of successful international conferences and  for the first time will take place in the heart of South-East Asia - Singapore.  The conference will be held at Singapore Management University in the centre of  Singapore. The past years have seen tremendous challenges with the convergence  of Web Services and Grid Technology. There have been major initiatives - internationally as well as locally - within the community that has taken up  these challenges. Grid Technology enables us tmake a major change in the paradigm for conducting our work with the holy grail of "computing on tap",  which in particular includes collaborative sharing. With this in mind CCGrid 2006   provides researchers and practitioners with an excellent opportunity tshare  their research and experience at the cross-roads of Grid Technology. The areas  of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Web Services Flow Languages
  • Programming Models, Tools & Environments
  • Peer-to-Peer computing
  • Information Services
  • Resource Exchange Architectures
  • Grid-based Problem Solving Environments
  • Scientific, Engineering and Commercial Grid Applications
  • Middleware for Clusters and Grids
  • Parallel File Systems & Wide Area File Systems
  • Scheduling and Load Balancing
  • Performance Evaluation and Modelling
  • Resource Management and Scheduling
  • Computational Data and Information Grid
  • Architectures and Systems
  • Grid Economies and Service Architectures

April '06 issue of Globus Consortium Journal is here

By: Ovais Khan
This month's Globus Consortium Journal is here. It focuses on The Linux / Grid Relationship.

I have not read all the articles, but after going through them, I found Operating System Performance Demands of Grid by Adam Fineberg to be most impressive - a must read. Will try to write my thought on the remaining later.

You can find it here.Read Full Article...
