Grid Architecture Experts Workshop
(90 mins)
Maureen Wilkinson, NextGRID (The University of Edinburgh)
View Participants
Developing the architecture of the next generation Grid is a key challenge facing the Grid research community. This experts’ workshop, organised by the European Commission funded NextGRID Project, will discuss examples of current work in this area with a focus on:
• An overview of the OGSA Base Profile V1.0 noting NextGRID input to this work;
• The architectural vision of the NextGRID project and progress to date;
• A presentation of the architectural ideas behind the OntoGrid Project;
• Status updates from Asia.

Developing the architecture of the next generation Grid is a key challenge facing the Grid research community. This experts’ workshop, organised by the European Commission funded NextGRID Project, will discuss examples of current work in this area with a focus on:
• An overview of the OGSA Base Profile V1.0 noting NextGRID input to this work;
• The architectural vision of the NextGRID project and progress to date;
• A presentation of the architectural ideas behind the OntoGrid Project;
• Status updates from Asia.
Pioneering projects, largely science-based, in Europe, the US and Asia have demonstrated the positive benefits afforded by current Grid technologies. This is particularly true in the health sector where some large cancer research projects are now gathering speed and will hopefully afford real benefits and breakthroughs across society. Although the Grid can be said to be delivering in a scientific context, the same is not true in the business domain. Unless the Grid can be seen to offer real benefits to business it will remain a powerful tool for science and will be largely ignored by business, except in its simplest application server and clustered computing form. In the worst case we will see a complete divergence in Grid computing between science and business. The purpose of efforts to develop the architecture of the next generation Grid is to ensure that future Grid technologies can meet everyone’s needs and that the Grid can meet its true potential.
