PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS:
------------------
Grid computing enables the sharing of distributed computing and data
resources such as processing, networking and storage capacity to create
a cohesive resource environment for executing distributed applications
in e-Science and businesses. The Grid conference series is an annual
international meeting that brings together a community of researchers,
developers, practitioners, and user involved with Grid technology. The
objective of the meeting is to serve as both the premier venue for
presenting foremost research results in the area and as a forum for
introducing and exploring new concepts. The conference will feature
invited talks, pre-coordinated workshops and refereed paper presentations.
2008 IEEE International Conference on Cluster Computing will be held
on the same days and location as the Grid 2008 (http://www.cluster2008.org/).

============================== Mon Sep 29th ==============================
Workshop:
13:45 - 17:00 Japanese Grid Infrastructures Showcase
Although Grid research in Japan had been active and made significant
contributions to the computer science grid communities at large
internationally, Japan until recently had trailed other international
regions---EU, US, and some other parts of Asia-Pacific---with respect to
constructing a stable, persistent, and generally available grid
infrastructures for e-Science. However, this is finally changing----with
the NAREGI project processing into the development to deployment phase
at the National Institute of Informatics Grid Operations Center, as well
as operational grid for grid research "Intrigger" similar to the French
Grid5000 emerging and being used on a daily basis, and major
application-specific grids such as GeoGrid finally coming online,
Japan's grid infrastructures for research are harvesting the fruit of
its long history of research and collaboration. The workshop will
showcase several grid infrastructures for e-Science research in Japan as
well as those that collaborate worldwide, and explore the possibility of
a unified grid infrastructure at a global scale.
