The Open Source Grid & Cluster Conference program offers a wide variety of presentations, panel discussions, workshops, and tutorials, ranging from introductory to highly technical. The program has been designed as a series of "tracks", each comprising a series of 90 minute sessions around a particular theme, that will run in parallel with other sessions. Attendees may move around between tracks as desired.
The tracks are:
Globus World Workshop: Five sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday focused entirely on Globus related topics. Learn about the latest developments in GT4.1.x and the forthcoming 4.2, and contribute your ideas for future enhancements. Hear from the experts that build the software and from users.
Grid Engine Workshop: Five sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday focused entirely on Grid Engine related topics.
Rocks Cluster Workshop: Five sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday focused entirely on Rocks related topics.
Introduction & Overview: Eight sessions comprising introductory and overview sessions covering a broad range of open source grid
and cluster topics, targeted toward attendees who are new to or want updates on open source grid and cluster computing.
Tutorials: Nine sessions of technical tutorials on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, on the details of using and administering Globus, Grid Engine and Rocks.
Overview & CFP Talks: Eleven sessions with talks from the open source grid and cluster community that were submitted to the Call for Participation (CFP). Some CFP talks will also be placed in the Workshops and the Introduction & Overview track.
Grill the Gurus Labs: One extended session on Thursday where attendees can talk informally with gurus from the Globus, Grid Engine, and Rocks communities -- the perfect opportunity to have your hard questions answered.
Sponsor Talks: Each sponsor has the opportunity in this track to present their products and services.
Pre- and Post-Conference Tutorials: More intensive half and full-day tutorials on various topics on Monday and Friday. Attendees must register for these pre- and post-conference tutorials in addition to the conference.
Updates will be added to the agenda as they become available.
