Dear all,
PPARC's KITE club is organising a Grid industry brokering meeting, based
around the potential for commercial use of gLite. Details are below.
Please register if you're interested - this initiative is being led by
PPARC, so it would be useful to have some GridPP people there. The last
Grid brokering meeting led to PPARC funding for an industrial
collaboration with Andy Parker's group at Cambridge. Alex Efimov, who is
running the event, is particularly keen to see attendees from the
institutes that responded to his survey earlier this year.
Please let me know if you register, so I have an idea of who's interested.
Thanks,
Sarah

The PPARC KITE Club invites interested parties from academia and
industry to a brokering meeting being held in central London on 4th of
December 2006.
A Technology Market Evaluation (TME) conducted by PPARC KITE Club
suggests the unfulfilled customer need for access to Service Grids
provides an opportunity for gLite commercialisation.
The main objective of this brokering meeting is to bring together
scientists involved in scientific Grid projects, prospective service
providers and users of gLite based Service Grids for a discussion about:
· Commercial perspectives for Service Grids
· Industry requirements of middleware for Service Grids
· Routes to gLite commercialisation
· PPARC funding available for technology transfer projects
· Further proposals for interdisciplinary and industrial
partnerships in grid computing
The brokering meeting will include a number of presentations on:
· The outcomes of the TME
· Commercialisation models and routes to funding
· Industrial requirements for the Service Grid middleware
· Case studies of industrial applications and portals for gLite
Registration is free, however, places for this workshop are limited and
we expect interest to be high. For more information, and to register
for this event, please follow the link below:
