Review of WG Charter


Grid WG initial objectives (1998)setting up a computational grid across the Pa

cificfacilitating research in metacomputing and e

nabling other user communities to apply high performance computational tools for their specific disciplines

linking up APAN member organizations with participants for collaborative high performance computational projects, Globus, Ninf, Netsolve, etc.

Review of the past WG activities


Past Activities

Fukuoka Meeting (2003 Jan.)1st NR/Grid-WG Joint session Collaboration for the PRAGMA workshop

Drafting MoU for the partnership between APAN and PRAGMA


Partnership with PRAGMA

APAN and PRAGMA will sign MoU for close cooperation. (APAN Monthly Update, Aug 2003 )PRAGMA: Pacific Rim Applications and Gr

id Middleware Assembly

Grid WG worked for drafting the MoU with the APAN committee and PRAGMA.


PRAGMA Goals

Establish sustained collaborations and advance the use of the grid technologies for applications among a community of investigators working with leading institutions around the Pacific Rim

Working closely with established activities that promote grid activities or the underlying infrastructure, both in the Pacific Rim and globally

PRAGMA Activities Encourage and conduct joint (multilaterial) projects th

at promote development of grid facilities and technologies

Share resources to ensure project success Conduct multi-site training Exchange researchers Meet and communicate regularly Collaborate with and participate in major regional and

international activities such as APAN, APGrid, APECTel, GGF

Disseminate and promote knowledge of using the grid among domain experts and scientists

Disseminate proceedings and summaries of events Provide resource for PRAGMA members to raise level

of awareness and funding for grid activities
