Call for Participation: GlobusWORLD 2006

Cross-posted from The Grid Blog

The GlobusWORLD Community Program at GridWorld. Join the Globus Software Community and GGF18 Participants at GridWorld 2006 at the Washington Convention Center.

Whether you're a Globus expert with technical advice to share, or an executive with visions for the future of open source enterprise Grid computing, GlobusWORLD is the premier event for delivering your message to the Grid community. In 2005 hundreds of Grid professionals from research and industry attended GlobusWORLD to discuss Grid adoption issues, receive training and exchange information related to Globus Software, the open-source solution for Grid Computing. This year we join forces with IDG World Expo and GGF to present the most comprehensive event on Grid computing to date.

The GlobusWORLD program will offer a wide variety of conference sessions, mini-symposiums, panel discussions, and tutorials. Speaking opportunities range from highly technical research, development, and deployment presentations to enterprise targeted panels on commercial Grid adoption considerations. The GlobusWORLD program will run in parallel with other GridWorld program tracks and every attempt will be made in scheduling to minimize unnecessary clashes.

Submissions may be wide ranging and should be centered on the theme of Globus Software in Grid Computing applications solutions and / or technology.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

ABSTRACT GUIDELINES
All submissions must include an abstract of no more than 500 words. Abstracts should be written so as to be self-contained and to provide the technical substance required for the program committee to evaluate the session's contribution to the Globus(r) Software and Grid community. If the presentation was given at another conference, then the name, date, and location of the event must be noted in the submission. Abstracts should be submitted in plain text format either as an attachment or in the main body of the e-mail. Abstracts for accepted submissions will be published on the GlobusWORLD website and in other conference material as the description of the session. Presentation slides will be distributed with conference material.

INDIVIDUAL PRESENTATIONS
Presentation proposals may be submitted for individual time slots of thirty minutes, forty-five minutes, one hour or ninety minutes in length. Please be sure to allow ten minutes for Q&A within this allotted time. Individual presentations of less than ninety minutes will be grouped with similar topic presentations to fill an entire session. The submission must state both the preferred and acceptable durations of the presentation.

BUILD YOUR OWN SESSION
Participants are invited to organize their own, complete, ninety-minute session, including but not limited to the following categories. The submission must include an agenda, and the names and associations of all participants.

Panel Session / Mini-Symposium: These sessions will enable conference attendees to learn from a group of experts on a particular topic. The session organizer may deliver an opening talk to set the context for the remainder of the session. Panelists will then give presentations designed to stimulate audience participation, on their preferably diverse opinions, experiences or expertise regarding the theme of the session. At least ten minutes should be reserved at the end for questions from the audience.

Birds-of-a-Feather (BOF) Sessions: These sessions will allow conference attendees to discuss focused subject areas. The session may include presentations and open discussion. Session organizers will be responsible for moderating these sessions and reporting on their outcomes.

All proposals and questions should be sent to gw-pc@globusworld.org
