Asia-Pacific Grid (APGrid)

• Initially proposed by Satoshi Sekiguchi, AIST,
  Japan and other folks
• Loosely Collaborating Asia-Pacific National Grid
  Efforts on APAN/TransPAC
• Just had kickoff meeting in Tokyo, Oct. 22-24
• Progress initially slow, but with some recent
  funding boosts in various countries, we should
  have some semi-permanent public resources as well
  as establish interoperability practices

APGrid Objectives

1. Build an Asia-Pacific Grid testbed on APAN
2. Interface to global Grid efforts such as GGF
3. Share resources, knowledge, technologies--- a
   forum for collaborative Grid work
4. Standardize on Grid interoperability issues
5. Work with Asia-Pacific application communities
   and provide assistance
6. Promote ApGrid-originated results, help initiate
   new domestic Grid projects.
