2. © 2006 Open Grid Forum 2 Four major types of eScience Activities Group activities such as those in GIN (Interoperability) Groups perform long term activities in focused areas Typically does not get much high level visibility except for GIN Newish groups in Education, Reliability, Instrumentation Typically one or more distinct 90 minute sessions Timely community activities arranged in the two-five months before meeting and including panels, tutorials and short workshops Current submissions to community program Typically one or two 90 minute sessions per submission Long lead time single track workshops with invited and contributed presentations in topics of broad interest to OGF. Typically 4 or 5 90 minute sessions Software Provider Track started at OGF19 14 90 minute sessions at each of OGF19 and OGF21; ~ no time at OGF20

9. © 2006 Open Grid Forum Community Program Community oriented activities with relatively light weight approval process with call 3-5 months before meeting and decisions 2-3 months before Joint between Enterprise and eScience Exploratory (Birds of a Feather) sessions that could leads to groups or full one-day workshops Tutorials but not well done in OGF as no easy thoughtful coordination and don’t easily attract Grid users (as opposed to Grid builders) Need to establish a track with a uniform audience like we have for software development Small workshops often led by groups such as OGF21 GridNet2 eScience workshop 9 Grid Services Grid Subsystems Users Grid Projects

10. © 2006 Open Grid Forum Software Development Sessions Grids are built from services which hopefully respect standards However there are several building blocks or subsystems like Globus or SRB which are used in many Grid projects TeraGrid EGEE Geon LEAD MyGrid China National Grid Naregi are Grid Projects Form initially at least de facto standards What is OGSA in the “non Green Field” of existing subsystems? OGF will offer “user group” sessions in “Grid Subsystems” in a set of consecutive sessions aimed at those building Grids and not at people using Grids OGF can provide one-stop shopping so don’t need to attend XYZweek for all XYZ GIN-Standards-Software vendors Interaction at OGF21? 10 Grid Services Grid Subsystems Users Grid Projects

14. © 2006 Open Grid Forum Future eScience Function Strategy Grids and even eScience are quite mature (OGF21 implies 7 years at 3 meetings a year) eScience and Grids are substantially better funded in Europe than USA and perhaps Asia Support mature field by stressing Software provider sessions describing software used/useable by Grid/eScience developers especially OGF22 in USA Add more commercial suppliers Ask NSF to bring the grantees of their software hardening solicitations Support future of OGF by initiatives in areas where OGF eScience community has expertise

17. © 2006 Open Grid Forum Actions and Issues Will try to add more active AD’s through Nomcom process Who should we tap? How best to enhance software developer activities? How to reach out to natural communities? e.g. High Performance Computing (MPI natural) Any other communities we should address? Offer workshops in Green areas (Workflow, MPI-NT) and offer tutorials in orange and red areas (Web 2.0, Virtualization, Autonomics)? What should we do for data-centric science? Are there other areas? How to re-invigorate groups such as Life Sciences? Community program healthier than groups (GIN very healthy) How to cope with Attendance continent effect Europe >> Asia > USA
