     San Diego Supercomputer Center, La Jolla, CA

This is an announcement for the GCE Grid Portals Workshop, 
which will be hosted by the San Diego Supercomputer Center, 
May 21-22, 2001.  Registration information can be found at:

   https://gridport.npaci.edu/workshop/gpw01/

There will be a $50.00 fee that will cover breakfast, lunch, 
snacks and a reception Monday night.  The workshop will run 
from Monday to Wednesday am, with an optional Wednesday afternoon 
session.  Please contact Maytal Dahan (mdahan@sdsc.edu) for 
information regarding workshop registration details.

BACKGROUND:
The decision to hold the workshop was made at the Global Grid 
Forum meeting in Amsterdam (GGF1).  Preliminary agenda items 
include:

  * Grid portal protocol definitions
  * Integration of XML schemas from existing portal projects 
    and GGF/GIS
  * Portal architecture discussions
  * Integration of the performance working group Event objects 
    as discussed at GGF1 
  * Panel discussions/breakout session:  Perl/Java/PHP/Python/CORBA
  * Possible project demo/discssion (only if time and group 
    interest prevails) 

The goal will be to arrive at a set of agreed upon standards to 
be included in the white papers that were proposed at GGF1.  The 
results of this workshop will be presented at GGF2, in Washington 
this July.  As discussed, this meeting will be limited to portal 
developers, and is not a general conference. 
 
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Grid portal developers, GCE members, and Grid service developers 
interest in participating in protocol definitions used by portals 
that are interoperable with other GGF working groups.  The workshop 
focus will be on completing tasks identified at GGF1 in Amsterdam.  
Presentations relevant to the agenda will are solicited, but they 
should not be project presentations.

This is not a general workshop, and all registrants will be reviewed.

If you care to be part of the organizing committee, please 
let us know.


Hope to see you in May -

Mary
