OGF23 Set for Barcelona in June
BARCELONA, Spain, March 10 -- The global grid community will gather for Open Grid Forum’s 23rd event June 2-6 in Barcelona, Spain, strategically
placed in easy reach of many European and global experts. Hosted by
the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, OGF23 is also the first
international event where the recently EU-funded OGF-EUROPE project,
will play a primary organizing role in the overall event and the
program. This project focuses on mobilizing and integrating communities
on grid standards and best practices. During a portion of the week
(June 3-5), the EU-funded BEinGRID project will be co-locating its
"Industry Days" event, which includes results of their business
experiments using grid technologies. BEinGRID will also show numerous
demonstrations of grid deployments in various commercial environments.
A small commercial exhibition will also be an important part of this
multi-faceted event. See our sponsor prospectus for more information on
sponsorship and exhibition opportunities.
The
Call for Participation is now open and proposals for keynote
presentations, workshops, and other content useful to the grid and
distributed computing industry are welcome. The call closes on April
11, with notifications sent no later than April 21.
OGF23 will show
how grids have become a key enabling technology in a broad spectrum of
IT environments. Participants will hear how researchers and scientists
in both academic and commercial settings find grids useful to scale
their compute capabilities and data analysis while enhancing their
ability to collaborate across organizational boundaries. Participants
will also hear how commercial users find grids to enable better
business agility, reduce costs, and aid in the deployment of a shared,
service-oriented infrastructure. OGF23 will also provide a unique forum
for discussion on how grids form a necessary underpinning for emerging
technologies such as virtualization and clouds.
Participants will have a number of different session types to choose from including:
- Workshops exploring grid usage in scientific disciplines and commercial sectors.
- Community Outreach Seminars where key adoption communities can learn of the practical benefit of grid usage.
- OGF Specification Adoption sessions demonstrating the impact of OGF’s published specifications and best practices.
- Case studies of business uses of grids.
- Best practice development sessions where key challenges to grid deployments are discussed and solutions identified.
- Chartered group sessions where OGF standards, best practices, and other community work is discussed.
- Keynotes and other invited talks.
