The Future of Grid and Web Services

We are pleased to announce a presentation and technical discussion on the future of grid and web services. Steve Tuecke and others will present recent work and lead a discussion on its impact on grid middleware that implements OGSI.

Steve Tuecke of Argonne National Laboratory is the Globus Alliance Systems Architect. He is the leader of the OGSI standardisation working group and is involved in many other GGF and W3C working groups.

18:30Panel Discussion: Assessing the Impact of WSRF on e-Science, the Grid and Industry
0) Is the relationship between the Grid and Web Services finally understood? and therefore:
1) Will WSRF mean more commercially supported infrastructure for e-Science?
2) Will WSRF mean serious disruption to middleware efforts already underway?
3) Will WSRF make it harder or easier to address Grid-specific requirements?
4) Will there be long-term benefits? If so, when will they be reallised?
