GGF14 - The Fourteenth Global Grid Forum
June 27-30, 2005
Chicago, IL, USA

Semantic Grids and the Agents Community
Organized by: David De Roure

Wednesday, 9:00a - 9:45a

Attendees of this session were provided with copies of the Agents Newsletter and many stayed throughout the following break to speak with the presenters.

We propose a 30-45 minute session on Grid and Agents, in which I will present a short talk on Semantic Grid (based on discussions at GGF13) and there will be a response from an invited member of the Agents community, Jonathan Dale.

Jonathan is a Senior Researcher at Fujitsu Labs America and led the Agentcities project. He has been directly involved in the FIPA agents standardisation activity and in the W3C Web Ontology Working Group.

The objectives of this session are:

1. To discuss grid problems which may be addressed by technologies developed in the agent based computing community

2. Specifically to consider the role of agents in the context of the large number of grid services anticipated in the future

3. To suggest next steps in engagement between these communities

The Organized session involves two short talks and a period of discussion.

This proposal arises from a meeting held in April with a number of senior members of the agents community as part of the GGF community council engagement with "technology innovators". We believe this is an exciting opportunity to bring the Agents community to GGF, with a view to future engagement in the standards process.
