Workshop theme
The
“traditional” grid community has up to now developed
environments based on “in-house” ideas and skills
(Globus, Unicore, etc.), with little attention to sibling
communities. The challenges set by really large-scale use of grids
will necessarily demand importing ideas from other technologies, in
the first place peer-to-peer approaches, and component-based software
engineering. The workshop could gather researchers from the CoreGrid
NoE, and leading researchers from the peer-to-peer and the
component-based programming research area (mainly from the US and
Europe). It should also include people experienced with the
“actual” deployment of applications at a very large-scale
(say, more that 10,000 nodes) in a versatile and/or hostile
environment (very large federations of clusters, intranets of
international companies, the internet at large, etc.).
The workshop will
be made up with the contribution of a dozen invited speakers. This
grid workshop, co-localized with Euro-Par 2005,
will try to give updated visions of large-scale deployment, user
management, financial issues, and security. We may have talks on
topics like grid achievements, large-scale grids in other domains,
physical maintenance, failure recovery, networking, software/hardware
upgrade. This workshop will be the place where we can show how some
people have made grids real-life experiences.
The workshop attendance is free for
Euro-Par 2005 participants.
