Grid Workshop To Focus On Old
Challenges, New Disciplines
"Social Factors, Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences: Old Challenges and
New Disciplines for Grid Computing" will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
on Thursday, June 10, as part of the GGF11 being held in Honolulu.
This workshop will examine the social aspects of Grid computing as well as
the
newly emerging Grid applications in the area of the arts, humanities and
social sciences. The purpose of this workshop is two-fold:
- Illustrate the use of Grid technology into the arts, social sciences
and
humanities communities. To accomplish this, we will present exemplars of early
adopters of Grid computing in the areas humanities, arts and social sciences,
as well as other disciplines that can be modeled by the HASS Grid
community.
- Address one of the most complex and fundamental issues in the success
of
Grid deployment -- social issues. Surveys around the globe seem to indicate
there are many social issues that hinder the successful deployment and
adoption of Grid technology.
This workshop will address:
- Success Stories around the globe in arts, humanities and social
sciences
and how various organizations have managed to deploy Grid.
- Examine various organizational issues faced during Grid
deployment.
- Address the need and possible solutions for a
Grid-Friendly-Software-Licensing-Model (Inter-organization, cross country
issues etc)
- Educate GGF participants about the social dynamics and issues involved
in
Grid computing.
- Demonstrate how HASS researchers' creative processes can be expanded by
the
use of Grid technologies.
- Educate current and new GGF technologists about these newly
emerging/nontraditional areas in Grid computing.
- Cost savings (time and resources) benchmarks due to Grid
deployment.
