IST Call 5 Preparatory Workshop on "Advanced Grid Technologies, Systems & Services"
Date: 31 January - 1 February 2005
Location: Hotel Carrefour de l'Europe, Grasmarkt 110, B-1000 Brussels
Parallel session on "Grid Foundations for Business and Industry"
Tuesday February 1st 2005
Session organiser: Vincent Obozinski
Abstract
This session will provide an opportunity to identify and discuss the main research directions with regard to the Strategic Objective's focus on Grid Foundations that is addressing issues related to the architecture, the design and the development of next generation Grid systems and services for business and industry. Many new architecture properties need to be realised for transparently enabling the management of large networked distributed resources across multiple enterprises, towards building an invisible and seamless Grid. These properties, such as scalability, adaptivity, security and dependability, must be translated into facilities characterised by evolutionary behaviours, self-organisation, autonomy, fault-tolerance and self-repairing capabilities. Various architectural approaches are also to be considered in order to achieve complete virtualisation of Grid resources and to simplify the Grid foundations layering. Session participants are therefore expected to contribute actively to these discussions that will cover among others agent-based mediation and peer-to-peer technologies; new models, languages and environments for programming the Grid at all levels of abstraction; semantic and agent systems for resource brokering and management; development environments for dynamic composition and orchestration of ubiquitous Grid services. The emphasis shall be on Grid foundational requirements in industrial and commercial settings, e.g. for automated service creation and provision, for trusted and distributed collaborations that are typically cross-organisations, and for work-flow driven co-operative decision support services based on knowledge discovery, novel modelling and simulation techniques, and enhanced visualisation modes.
