13th Annual Mardi Gras Conference
"Frontiers of Grid Applications and Technologies" |
3-5 February 2005

The Center for Computation & Technology at LSU is hosting the 13th Mardi
Gras Conference, February 3rd to 5th 2005, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The Mardi
Gras conferences take place annually, concentrating each year on a different
computational theme of current relevance. This year’s conference, titled Frontiers of Grid Applications and Technologies, will focus on Grid Computing,
particularly how applications are exploiting emerging Grid and distributed computing
environments as well as the supporting and enabling Grid technologies.
Grid Computing is an increasingly important field of computer science, promising
a world where shared scientific research computers and instruments, experimental
data, numerical simulations, analysis tools, research and development, as well
as people, are closely coordinated and integrated in "virtual organizations".
While Grid technologies and infrastructure are rapidly being developed and are
now maturing through the guidance of bodies such as the Global Grid Forum, focus
now needs to be turned towards the applications which will run in these new
environments. Existing applications need to be adapted and tuned to exploit
Grids, and more importantly new generations of applications need to be designed
and developed to take full advantage of the possibilities of distributed infrastructures
and collaborative working.
We are seeking papers and posters of relevance to Grid and peer-to-peer applications
and infrastructure, including but not limited to:
- Case studies of applications, including computer, data- or network-intensive,
collaborative, and tele-immersive
- Innovative and advanced scenarios, including dynamic data-driven, interactive
and adaptive
- Application APIs and programming models
- High speed and optical networks
- Tools for developing and deploying applications
- Middleware and toolkits
- Problem solving environments
- Building and managing production environments
- Virtual organizations
- Scientific workflow
- Resource management and scheduling
- Portals and collaborative environments
- Education
Conference sessions will be held for full days on Thursday, 3rd February and
Friday, 4th February, and for the morning of Saturday, 5th February. On Saturday
afternoon an optional excursion will take participants to join in the celebrations
for Mardi Gras in New Orleans, returning to Baton Rouge on Sunday morning at
approximately 2 a.m.
