[sem-grd] The Semantic Grid: when the Semantic Web meets the Grid

[David De Roure <dder@ecs.soton.ac.uk>]

Hello

This year's European Information Society Technologies (IST) event
is being held 15-17 November 2004 in the Netherlands (The Hague).

I'd like to draw your attention to a networking session on Monday 
15th on "The Semantic Grid: when the Semantic Web meets the Grid",
scheduled 16:00 - 17:30.

The draft agenda is below.

I hope to see some of you there for this interesting discussion!

Thanks

-- Dave

Members of the Grid and Semantic Web communities discuss issues of
interfaces, mutual strengths and synergies between the two related

for possible intersection will be outlined and directions where 
individual areas of the Semantic Web and the Semantic Grid can be 
advanced in parallel will be discussed.
