> Recent experience shows that many grid users have similar problems and
> experiences when deploying their applications. Collecting these
problems
> and their solution approaches will thus help both current and future
grid
> users to reach a level of common practices. Practices and solution
> patterns
> of current grid applications can be identified and collected via case
> studies.
> 
> 
> For the workshop we solicit case studies that fall into one of the
> following
> classes (although others will be considered on a case-by-case basis):
> 
> 1. Production use of the grid
> 2. Development use of the grid
> 3. Scenarios of applications that users would like to do,
> but cannot currently do with the grid.
> 
> The case studies should focus on the grid-aspect of the application,
to
> include what the application does that needs the grid and how it uses
the
> grid to accomplish its goals. Specifically we would like each author
to
> address the following:
> 
> 1. A brief overview of the application.
> 2. A discussion as to why grids are used or are planned to be used.
> 3. Grid design pattern used by the application, explaining in detail:
> - Where the grid is used to support interactions between various
> distributed parts of the application
> - Where the interfaces exist between the various parts of the
application
> and the grid services that are used.
> 4. Grid calls
> Show in detail the nature of the grid calls that are used by the
> application
> and where in the design pattern these calls are used.
> 5. Performance
> Where possible, show performance figures for the application such as
> access
> times, latency and grid induced overhead.
> 6. Describe the tools used in the development of the application and
> whether
> these tools were adequate, including suggestions for improved tools
that
> would have been useful.
> 7. Describe the grid environment that made the application either
easier
> or more
> difficult to use
> 8. Lessons learned in developing and deploying the application.
> 
> 
> For the workshop presentations, we are seeking papers on the subject
> described above. Papers should be typeset in a single-column format,
> in 12pt font, for letter or A4 sized paper. Papers should not exceed
> 10 pages. Shorter papers are welcome. Submission format is PDF.
> Please submit your paper by email to Thomas.H.Hinke@nasa.gov
> 
> The workshop proceedings will be published as a GGF report.
> 
> 
> Important Dates:
> 
> Paper submission: Feb 02, 2004
> Notification of acceptance: Feb 16, 2004
> Workshop: Mar 13, 2004
> 
> New for GGF10: participants can either register for the complete event
> (GGF10 and workshop), or for the workshop only, at very low rates.
