ISGC (International Symposium on Grid Computing) is one of the most important
annual events in Asia that brings together scientists and engineers worldwide to
exchange ideas, to present on challenges, solutions and future development in the
field of Grid Computing. The objective of this Symposium is to facilitate the information
exchange as well as to explore the global collaboration and interoperation
among various Grid projects.
ISGC 2007 was held at Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan from 26 to 29 March
2007 and participated by around 200 people from 22 countries. In order to bridge
the Asia Pacific and the world, the Symposium consists of invited talks and demonstrations
from leading international projects in Grid operation, Grid Middleware and
e-Science applications. Lectures also highlight related national Grid projects from
Asia Pacific countries.
To promote the awareness of the global Grid operation and collaboration between
Asia Pacific region and the world, the Symposium offers an excellent opportunity
to learn from the latest achievements from Europe, America and Asia. The major
topics of ISGC 2007 are concentrated on Global Grid Projects, Grid Projects in Asia
Pacific, High Energy Physics Applications, Biomedical Applications, e-Science
Applications, Humanities & Social Sciences Applications, Operation & Management,
Grid Middleware, Interoperation, Grid Security, Networking as well as Industry
Track. By sharing experiences from a variety of Grid systems, this Symposium
provides the potential Grid developers and users with invaluable insights for developing
Grid technology and application.
In this book, a comprehensive report towards Grid Activities in Asia Pacific has
prepared and abstracted from invited talks in different fields across Asia countries.
Besides, various e-Science applications including High Energy Physics, Biomedical
and Life Sciences have been discussed with practical approaches. As to the state-ofthe-
art Grid technology, Grid Middleware and Interoperability are addressed with
the relevance of current and emerging standards to facilitate a grid with global
reach. Furthermore, the topic of Grid Operations and Management cover the recent
advances in managing the large scale grid infrastructures. |
