Description:
The Global Grid Forum is the combination of the mostly US-based
GridForum and the European GridForum together with the leaders from the
Asia-Pacific grid communities. The decision to link these activities was
made during the latest GridForum (GF5) meeting last November in
Marlborough, Massachusetts (Boston area). This is the first Global
meeting in a series which will be held regularly as a continuation of the
original GridForum meetings.
The Datagrid project is a recently approved project funded by the European Union to set up a computational- and data- intensive grid primarily for the analysis of data from the next to be built particle collider LHC at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics in Geneva. In the project also other sciences like Earth Observation and Bio Informatics participate. This is its first general meeting after the project has started on 1 January 2001.
As can be seen from the Programs, the week will be logically split in two halves, the Monday through Wednesday will be dedicated to the Global Grid Forum. The second half of the week, the Wednesday through Friday will be for the European Datagrid Initiative. The programs will be arranged such that on Wednesday those items of the agenda will be scheduled where the interests of the Grid Forum and the Datagrid overlap.
