Abstract

This workshop aimed at experience with bridging the gap between early adopters of grids and the more mainstream use of grid technology. Currently, grids are mostly on the early adopter side of the gap, asking for the move to the more mainstream users. For fostering mature production environments, incentives by application users are vital. We were seeking experience from early adoptors who would like to become mainstream users, from mainstream users who would like to use grids, from those who already do, and from middleware developers and system operators in charge of providing working grid environments to user communities.
