Call for Community Participation

The 18th Global Grid Forum - GGF18/GridWorld
September 11-14, 2006
Washington DC, USA

GGF is comprised of a number of "communities of interest" who either are users of grids in their domain or develop innovative approaches to perceived roadblocks to the adoption of grids. The GGF18 Program seeks to build new and strengthen existing communities of interest in GGF.

The GGF18 Program will offer a series of 30-90 minute talks and panels emphasizing the applications and operations of grids in research and commercial contexts. It will also consist of half and full-day research workshops and tutorials of standards-based implementations of grid software.

While there are no formal publication requirements, publications in the form of GGF Informational Documents, journal articles/special or equivalent are encouraged and all session organizers are required to submit materials (including slides) for inclusion on the GGF web pages prior to the event. These program activities may run in parallel with other GGF activities (such as standards sessions and the GridWorld program tracks) but every attempt will be made in scheduling to minimize unnecessary clashes.

Proposals are now being accepted for the GGF18 Program. Only proposals submitted online prior to 2 June will be considered. To submit a proposal, visit: http://www.ggf.org/gf/session_request/commreq.php?event=5.
Acceptance notices will be sent approximately one week later.
