Dennis Gannon, gannon@cs.indiana.edu

Area Scope:
The Technology Innovators Area develops grid technology research and development communities.

Technology Innovators Groups:

Advanced Collaborative Environments (ACE-RG)
The Advanced Collaborative Environments (ACE) Research Group complements other GGF activities by providing human-centered techniques and technologies for facilitating interactive, collaborative, and immersive access of Grid resources from any where and at any time.

Appliance Aggregation (APPAGG-RG)
The Appliance Aggregation Architecture (APPAGG) GGF Research Group (RG) complements other Grid Research and Working Groups by addressing client side resources (appliances) and their contribution to Grids.

Grid Computing Environments (GCE-RG)
The GGF Grid Computing Environment research group is aimed at contributing to the coherence and interoperability of frameworks, portals, PSEs, and other Grid-based computing environments by establishing standards that are required to integrate technology implementations and solutions.

User Program Development Tools for the Grid (UPDT-RG)
The User Program Development Tools (UPDT) for the Grid Research Group (RG) complements other GGF groups by investigating grid-enabled tools such as debuggers, performance-tuning tools, etc. which allows the grid user to, interactively or not, better understand the behavior of his application.

Semantic Grid (SEM-RG)
The goal of the Semantic Grid Research Group (SEM-GRD) is to realise the added value of Semantic Web technologies for Grid users and developers. We provide a forum to track Semantic Web community activities and advise the Grid community on the application of Semantic Web technologies in Grid applications and infrastructure, to identify case studies and share good practice.

Workflow Management (WFM-RG)
The purpose of this group is to explore, evaluate and propose workflow representation and mapping techniques that enable the high-level description of application workflows and their execution in the Grid environment.
