Organization of the (New) Grid Committee
9
Proposal for the Grid Comm.

• Discussion about APANs 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
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
Why we need the new committee? (contd)

• 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

12
Grid Activities Committee

• Role
• To collaborate with the Grid communities outside
  of APAN to enhance grid activities in Asia
  Pacific
• running the production grid
• supporting application groups of APAN to
  implement their applications on the Grid
• To publish documents about grid technology
• To plan sessions/workshops/training activities
  related to grid technology in APAN meeting or
  others
• To archive knowledge obtained by the above
  activities

13
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.

Milestone

• Aug. 2003 (Busan)
• kick-off meeting
• organizing the ad hoc Grid Activities Committee
• Jul. 2004 (Cairns)
