Pacific Rim Application and Grid Middleware Assembly

0314015Arzberger这是加州大学圣地亚哥分校的Peter Arzberger博士提交的一份为期三年的提案，旨在扩大环太平洋应用程序和网格中间件组装(Pragma)。该大会目前包括来自9个经济体和环太平洋地区14个高性能计算机构的创始成员。这是第一个PRAGMA项目的延续，该项目是由东亚和太平洋计划和先进计算基础设施伙伴关系计划(PACI)联合授予的种子项目，期限为2002年3月1日至2004年2月28日。更新建议的目的是提供以下活动，以加强环太平洋地区的网格应用和开发网格中间件：(1)参加面对面的会议，(2)协调和扩大合作活动，以包括更多的机构和国家，(3)支持该地区网格基础设施和中间件的发展，以及(4)通过有重点的网格和应用基础设施和示范项目建立合作。这项提议得到以下四个NSF单位的联合支持：国际科学和工程办公室、高级计算基础设施和研究部、高级网络和研究部以及生物基础设施部。

0314015ArzbergerThis is a three-year proposal submitted by Dr. Peter Arzberger, University of California at San Diego to expand the Pacific Rim Application and Grid Middleware Assembly (PRAGMA). This assembly currently includes founding members from nine economies and14 high-performance computing institutes in the Pacific Rim region. This is a renewal of the first PRAGMA project, which was a seed project awarded jointly by the East Asia and the Pacific Program and the Partnerships for Advanced Computational Infrastructure Program (PACI) for the period of March 1, 2002- February 28, 2004. The purposes of the renewal proposal are to provide the following activities to enhance grid applications and to develop grid middleware in the Pacific Rim region: (1) participation in face-to-face meetings, (2) coordination and expansion of cooperative activities to include more institutes and countries, (3) supporting the development of grid infrastructure and middleware in the region, and (4) building collaborations via focused grid and application infrastructure and demonstration projects. This proposal is jointly supported by the following four NSF units: the Office of International Science and Engineering, Division of Advanced Computational Infrastructure and Research, Division of Advanced Networking and Research, and Division of Biological Infrastructure.
