INRIA, ETSI, ERCIM and CNIC to organise 4th GRIDS@Work and GRID Contest in Beijing
28 October 2007 - 2 November 2007
Austria
In a week of activity, the objective of the event is to bring together the main players in the GRID domain and to act as a stimulus for further advancement and integration.
Organised for the first time in China, GRIDS@Work will help increase collaboration with Asia on a highly promising IT sector. As such, several projects partially funded by the European Commission will hold meetings and workshops during the week: GridCOMP, BRIDGE, and EchoGRID, as well as the ETSI Technical Committee on GRID Standardization.
GRID computing offers a model for solving complex IT problems using a large number of computers arranged as clusters embedded in a distributed telecommunications infrastructure.
This year, the major theme of the 4th GRIDS@Work Plugtests will be to beat records with Asian grids.
At the heart of the GRID implemented for the event will lay a professional Open Source, the Middleware ObjectWeb ProActive. Other sponsors include LIAMA and Huawei.
