GGF14 - The Fourteenth Global Grid Forum
June 27-30, 2005
Chicago, IL, USA
Space-related Grid Applications
Organized by: Craig Lee
Tuesday, 4:30p – 6:00p
Space systems are necessarily large and distributed. These systems
typically involve satellite constellations, multiple ground stations,
and information systems for command and control and data dissemination.
Hence, current space-related systems involve de facto "grids"
but, in fact, are "one-off" systems that are not built
to any standards for interoperability, extensibility, fault tolerance,
or distributed system security.
Given this reality, there are many potential specific areas for
the application of grid technology in space and ground support systems.
A very common and recurrent need is that for data grids to manage
the dissemination and access to very large data stores. This session
will bring together internationally recognized experts in their
fields to present their work and discuss further opportunities for
grids in space applications.
