7. Kento Aida, Tokyo Institute of Technology Grid Workshop 2005.1.25 (tue) 14:00-17:30  Tutorial session: Yoshio Tanaka (AIST) "Programming on the Grid using GridRPC"  Technical session  J.G. Wang (NARC), "New Implementations of Agricultural Models Using Mediate Architecture“  Jedsada Phengsuwan (NECTEC), "Development of Distributed MetBroker toward Information Grid“  Vara Varavithya (KMITNB), "Thailand National Grid Project"  Kiyoshi Honda (AIT), "Cluster Computing for SWAP Crop Model Parameter Identification using Remote Sensing"

8. Kento Aida, Tokyo Institute of Technology Organization of the (New) Grid Committee

9. Kento Aida, Tokyo Institute of Technology Proposal for the Grid Comm.  Discussion about APAN’s efforts for Grid activities  ad hoc Grid Activities Comm. + Grid WG  position paper  Proposal  The New Committee for grid activities, which plays:  coordination of groups involved in grid activities in APAN  an interface between APAN and grid communities, e.g. PRAGAMA, ApGrid, APEC-TEL ApGrid, and more, as a representative of APAN)

10. Kento Aida, Tokyo Institute of Technology Why we need the new committee?  Grid WG  organizing workshop, tutorial, publishing document  partially playing an interface between APAN and Grid communities  NR  application development on the Grid  development of the Sensor Grid  collaboration with PRAGMA  Network Tech., NOC Team  collaboration with Grid communities: operation of Grid testbeds, e.g. SC demos.

11. Kento Aida, Tokyo Institute of Technology  An expert group which plays an interface between APAN and Grid communities is required.  Grid WG partially plays the interface, but the activity is limited because of organization structure.  Grid WG is under the Appl. Tech. Area.  Grid activities in APAN extends beyond the Appl. Tech. Area.  NR, Network Tech., NOC team Why we need the new committee? (cont’d)

12. Kento Aida, Tokyo Institute of Technology Grid Activities Committee Role: 1.To collaborate with the Grid communities outside of APAN to enhance grid activities in Asia Pacific: 1.running the production grid 2.supporting application groups of APAN to implement their applications on the Grid 2.To publish documents about grid technology 3.To plan sessions/workshops/training activities related to grid technology in APAN meeting or others 4.To archive knowledge obtained by the above activities

13. Kento Aida, Tokyo Institute of Technology How to Organize?  Merging Grid WG and the ad hoc Grid Activities Committee  Grid WG has know-how to run missions, e.g. collaboration with grid communities, organizing sessions/workshops, and more  Players of grid communities, e.g. PRAGMA, ApGrid, APEC-TEL and more, are involved in Grid WG/Committee.

14. Kento Aida, Tokyo Institute of Technology Milestone  Aug. 2003 (Busan)  kick-off meeting  organizing the ad hoc Grid Activities Committee  Jul. 2004 (Cairns)  publishing the position paper  http://apan.net/meetings/cairns2004/wg- comm/grid.htm  closing the ad hoc committee  proposing the new committee  not approved (re-proposing in the next meeting)  Jan. 2005 (Bangkok)  re-proposing the new committee

15. Kento Aida, Tokyo Institute of Technology Future Plan

16. Kento Aida, Tokyo Institute of Technology Next Meeting  APAN Taipei Meeting (2005.8.23-27)  Grid activities committee meeting (if approved)  session/workshop?
