Area Directors: Satoshi Matsuoka, matsu@is.titech.ac.jp Thilo Kielmann, kielmann@cs.vu.nl Area Scope: The Research Application Area supports and represents interests of grid user communities in academia/research. Research Applications Groups: Application Developers and Users (APPS-RG) The objective of the Application Developers and Users Research Group (APPS-RG) is to facilitate the exploitation of grid technologies by application developers and users. The intent is to inform application developers and users about what is possible through the use of grid technology and to inform the developers of grid technology about what improvements are needed in grid technology, best practices and standards. Astronomy Applications (Astro-RG) The Astronomy Research Group explores issues related to the use of Grid technology in support of astronomical data collections and data analysis pipelines.| Humanities, Arts, and Social Science (HASS-RG) The Humanities, Arts and Social Science Research Group (HASS-RG) will identify and develop capability for the Humanities, Arts and Social Science with Information Technology on a grid infrastructure. The forum of the HASS-RG will bring together members of the humanities, arts, social science, computer science, engineering and IT communities into a common grid computing dialogue. Life Sciences Grid (LSG-RG) The Life Sciences Grid (LSG) Research Group explores issues related to the integration of Information Technology with the Life Sciences on a grid infrastructure. Particle and Nuclear Physics Applications (PNPA-RG) The Particle and Nuclear Physics Applications Research Group provides a forum for discussion of issues related to particle and nuclear physics applications and production grids. Preservation Environments(PE-RG) The Preservation Environments Research Group of the Grid Forum will develop a GGF Informational Document for Persistent Archives based on virtual data grid technology.The proposed Information Document will serve two purposes: 1) Describe to the preservation community best practices for implementing distributed preservation systems 2) Identify for the grid community the consistency constraints that are required between grid services for a viable preservation system. |
