Workshop
on
Case Studies on Grid Applications



in conjunction with GGF10



March 13, 2004
Berlin, Germany


http://www.zib.de/ggf/apps/meetings/


Organized in collaboration with the
Applications and Testbeds Research Group (APPS-RG)
User Program Development Tool Research Group (UPDT-RG)
Grid User Services Research Group (GUS-RG)
Production Grid Management Research Group (PGM-RG)
of the Global Grid Forum (GGF)



Workshop organizers: Thomas Hinke, NASA Ames [Thomas.H.Hinke@nasa.gov]
Simon Cox, University of Southhampton, UK [sjc@soton.ac.uk]
Robert T. Hood, NASA Ames [rhood@nas.nasa.gov]

Recent experience shows that many grid users have similar problems and
experiences when deploying their applications. Collecting these problems
and their solution approaches will thus help both current and future grid
users to reach a level of common practices. Practices and solution patterns
of current grid applications can be identified and collected via case studies.


For the workshop we solicit case studies that fall into one of the following
classes (although others will be considered on a case-by-case basis):

1. Production use of the grid
2. Development use of the grid
3. Scenarios of applications that users would like to do,
but cannot currently do with the grid.

The case studies should focus on the grid-aspect of the application, to
include what the application does that needs the grid and how it uses the
grid to accomplish its goals. Specifically we would like each author to
address the following:

1. A brief overview of the application.
2. A discussion as to why grids are used or are planned to be used.
3. Grid design pattern used by the application, explaining in detail:
- Where the grid is used to support interactions between various
distributed parts of the application
- Where the interfaces exist between the various parts of the application
and the grid services that are used.
4. Grid calls
Show in detail the nature of the grid calls that are used by the application
and where in the design pattern these calls are used.
5. Performance
Where possible, show performance figures for the application such as access
times, latency and grid induced overhead.
6. Describe the tools used in the development of the application and whether
these tools were adequate, including suggestions for improved tools that
would have been useful.
7. Describe the grid environment that made the application either easier or more
difficult to use
8. Lessons learned in developing and deploying the application.




For the workshop presentations, we are seeking papers on the subject
described above. Papers should be typeset in a single-column format,
in 12pt font, for letter or A4 sized paper. Papers should not exceed
10 pages. Shorter papers are welcome. Submission format is PDF.
Please submit your paper by email to Thomas.H.Hinke@nasa.gov

The workshop proceedings will be published as a GGF report.


Important Dates:

Paper submission: Feb 02, 2004
Notification of acceptance: Feb 16, 2004
Workshop: Mar 13, 2004

New for GGF10: participants can either register for the complete event
(GGF10 and workshop), or for the workshop only, at very low rates.
