do this in the abstract, e.g. proteomics has strong HPC, data, security mgt
requirements etc hence needs Grid based solutions. But from my perspective, we
should be looking in more detail at the specific OGF efforts and how they
support proteomics based research (or not) - if proteomics is the focus of this
next meeting that is.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

surely is the point for folk to go to OGF meetings.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>I assume the focus of the
presentations should address the following questions and not just covering
merely proteomics): 1) How grid computing can be used to help proteomics
scientists and professionals to achieve breakthrough science or shorter
time-to-solution; and 2) Are there any requirements in the area of proteomics
that presently is not addressed by OGF groups but should be addressed.

long as the proteomics presentations are aligned with the work on-going within
the OGF standards/implementations of those standards etc, then I am all for
this. From my own perspective, LSG-RG should be telling people what works with
OGF specs and what doesn't. Thus we should be asking is anyone out there in
LSG-RG land using the imlementations of DAIS, ByteIO, OGSA-BES, authZ, etc
etc.<BR><BR>There are many other life science conferences/workshops where folk
can talk about proteomics more generally etc. Having talks about non-specific
OGF related applications in the life science domain for me does not make much
sense. <BR><BR>Thoughts?<BR><BR>R.<BR><BR>PS Please use the

message<BR><BR>Dear all:<BR><BR>Please give feedback before Sunday, 5PM Chicago
Time (CST). At that time, if I have no feedback, I will send this
message.<BR><BR>========================<BR><BR>Dear all:<BR><BR>This is an
e-mail message regarding the Life Science Grid Research Group (LSG-RG) in the
Open Grid Forum (OGF), formerly the Global Grid Forum (GGF).<BR><BR>I will give
a background of this group at the end of this message. First, though, let
me state the purpose of this message.<BR><BR>Our group has been extremely active
since 2002, but the visibility of our activities has waned. One
suggestion, which we believe is quite on target, was to plan future meetings
through our e-mail list (through which you are receiving this message).<BR><BR>I
would like to start out such an effort by asking for input in planning our next
meeting, which will be help in February 2008 in Boston. At the meeting in
Seattle last week, the attendees were extremely interested in the proteomics
presentations, and the group decided that we would solicit proteomics experts to
speak at the next meeting.<BR><BR>Thus, I would like to extend a call for
presentations in proteomics. We would like to specifically look for
proteomic mass spectrometry presentations, but all will be considered. I
would like the membership of this e-mail list to help us in the solicitation of
speakers, and would like to solicit your input into what topics and/or speakers
we should pursue.<BR><BR>I'm looking forward to input from all.<BR><BR><BR>David
