Some days earlier, I have got the following conference report on a grid computing mailing list which I found worth sharing with everyone.
Slides of keynote and tutorials presentations can be downloaded from:

The conference proceedings is published by the IEEE CS Press and it should
appears in their Digital Library and IEEE Xplore soon.

E-Science 2005 Conference Report
By Ron Perrott and Rajkumar Buyya, e-Science 2005 co-chairs
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first International Conference on e-Science and Grid Computing (e-Science 2005) was held December 5-8, 2005 at the Langham Hotel in Melbourne, Australia. The conference provided a forum for all e-science and grid researchers, developers and users to discuss and discover recent
progress in e-science.
This first in a series of e-Science conferences was held jointly with the second International Conference on Intelligent Sensors, Sensor Networks and Information Processing (ISSNIP 2005). The combined conferences attracted more than 350 participants from more than 30 countries. The e-Science conference alone received over 175 contributions from Asia, Australia, Europe and the Americas.
"The interest the conference generated worldwide was impressive, as was the high quality of the papers submitted from the international community," said conference organizer Ron Perrott. "The keynote speakers really set the scene by presenting vision, opportunity and progress in the e-science area. The breadth and depth of the conference presentations emphasised the widespread developments taking place in grid computing and e-science."
The e-Science 2005 conference was sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committee for Scalable Computing and organized by the University of Melbourne in cooperation with various research organizations. Financial support was received from the State of Victoria, AMD, Intel, Alexander Technologies, Dell, EMC, WASP, MMSN and NICTA.
The conference program included keynote speeches, peer-reviewed research paper presentations, workshops, an industry track, tutorials and a poster session. Mark Sargent, Chairman of the Australian National e-Research Coordination Committee, kicked off the conference. Keynote speakers included Ian Foster, one of the creators of the grid, from Argonne National Laboratory in the U.S., Carole Goble of the e-Science North West Centre at The University of Manchester in the UK, and Professor Hideo Matsuda from the Department of Bioinformatic Engineering at Osaka University in Japan. The keynote addresses set the tone of
the conference and provided the delegates with a great insight into service-oriented architectures, data integration and Web semantics.
The conference hosted three workshops: Innovative and Collaborative Problem Solving Environment in Distributed Resources; Deploying Production Grids—Beyond the Hype; and Scientific Instruments and Sensors on the Grid. Tutorials on three different middleware implementations were also offered: the Gridbus Toolkit, delivered by researchers from the GRIDS Lab, University of Melbourne; the Globus Toolkit delivered by Ian Foster; and Nimrod-G, from researchers at Monash University in Australia.
Presentation slides of some of these tutorials are available for download from the conference Web site: The first International Conference on e-Science and Grid Computing (e-Science 2005) was held December 5-8, 2005 at the Langham Hotel in Melbourne, Australia.
