Proceedings of April Grid Engine Workshop

Regensburg, Germany -- April 22-24, 2002



Hi,

early this year, some groups working on projects related to Grid Engine suggested that it might be a good idea to create an opportunity for having a face-to-face meeting. The small meeting, as it was planned originally, quickly became an impressively sized 3-day workshop with around 35 participants representing 16 organizations from all over Europe and North America. The workshop was held from April 22 to April 24 and was hosted at the Sun offices in Regensburg, Germany.

The workshop covered a wide variety of topics around Grid Computing in general and Grid Engine in particular. Among the discussed areas were:
 


I'd like to thank all of the participants for their contributions and the constructive atmosphere which made the workshop such a pleasurable experience for all of us. It is mainly due to those who have presented at the workshop that I herewith can announce the availability of proceedings of the workshop here at the project site.

The proceedings can be found at http://gridengine.sunsource.net/workshop22-24.04.02/proceedings.html.

You will find a list of all participants, the abstracts of the presentations and links to PDF printouts of the corresponding slides. Also included are protocols of the special interest group meetings we held on the 3rd workshop day. Please take a look.

Thanks again to all who have participated and contributed. I'm sure all attendees join me in my special thanks to Monika Grobecker who has done an outstanding job in the organization of the workshop and in assembling the proceedings.

We are convinced that this was not the last event of its kind. We already have been asked whether we'd be willing to host a follow-up workshop next year ...

Hope to see you then,

Fritz Ferstl
