International Symposium on Grid Computing (ISGC) 2005 in conjunction with the 2nd LCG-Asia Workshop

27 Apr 2005, 09:00 → 29 Apr 2005, 21:00 Asia/Taipei

Room 1 (Activity Center, Academia Sinica)

Simon C. Lin (ASGC)

The ISGC has been annually held at Academia Sinica, Taiwan since 2003.  The main purpose of ISGC is to offer an opportunity to the community in the Asia Pacific region to have a better understanding of the vision and progress of the Grid technology and Grid operation in the world.  The ISGC will cover topics such as applications on High Energy Physics, Bioinformatics, Healthgrid, LCG, e-Science, Semantic Grid, Data Grid, Grid Operation, Grid services, and Grid technology, etc.  The structure of Symposium includes invited talks and regional report sessions.  It provides a forum for the potential developers, users in Asia Pacific to meet, to share, and to learn from each other.  By exchanging their experiences on how to develop Grid technology and application, this Symposium has already provided the Grid community in Asia Pacific invaluable insights for fruitful collaboration.
