Organization of the (New) Grid Committee

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 WGposition paper

ProposalThe New Committee for grid activities, which

plays:coordination of groups involved in grid activities i

n APANan interface between APAN and grid communitie

s, e.g. PRAGAMA, ApGrid, APEC-TEL ApGrid, and more, as a representative of APAN)

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.

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 A

ppl. Tech. Area.NR, Network Tech., NOC team

Why we need the new committee? (cont’d)

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 grid2. supporting application groups of APAN to

implement their applications on the Grid

2. To publish documents about grid technology3. To plan sessions/workshops/training

activities related to grid technology in APAN meeting or others

4. To archive knowledge obtained by the above activities

Kento Aida, Tokyo Institute of Technology

How to Organize?

Merging Grid WG and the ad hoc Grid Activities CommitteeGrid 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.
