GLOBUSWORLD OVERVIEW:
Over the past few years the grass-roots success of the Globus Project "Retreats"
has permeated the academic, research, vendor and corporate user spheres to
create a universal recognition of the significance of the Globus Toolkit as the
open source solution for Grid Computing. Globus Retreats have featured hands-on
training, presentations of future plans, and experiential talks by Globus users,
developers, and partners, as well as social events to help build the Globus
community. The most recent Globus workshop in January 2002 drew 250 people from
around the world to Chicago to learn how to incorporate Globus into their Grid
efforts.
Given the accelerating demand for more intensive information, training and
discussion on Globus and Grid Computing, the Globus Project created GlobusWORLD
to take place in 2003, from 13-17 January at the San Diego Hilton Resort.
GlobusWORLD will provide a forum for the discussion and presentation of current
user experiences, opportunities and future directions for the Globus Toolkit and
Grids, and practical training for hands-on Globus Toolkit users.
