Software Services Grid Workshop http://www.roguewave.com/groups/CTO/workshop/workshop.htm July 10-11, 2001. Organized by Members of OMG (Object Management Group), World Wide Web Consortium, and the Global Grid Forum. Boston, MA, USA. The purpose of the Software Services Grid Workshop is to bring together disparate groups that are working on many different levels of the Grid Problem. ("flexible, secure, coordinated resource sharing among dynamic collections of individuals, institutions and resources" ) These groups include representatives of the Object Management Group, World Wide Web Consortium, and the Global Grid Forum. The focus of the workshop will be on the modeling and metadata standards necessary to build applications that can orchestrate the coordination of multiple Web services and data sources. The object technology community has a great deal of experience building distributed application based on interface description and modeling (e.g. UML). The Web community is developing standards for XML interfaces and metadata for accessing Web Services and data sources. A blending of these technologies will be necessary for the next generation of Internet computing. The Grid community has been building research testbeds for the large scale coordination of distributed resources. This Grid experience could provide valuable guidelines for future metadata and modeling standards that will benefit all of the participants. The Workshop will be held on July 10 in conjunction with an OMG meeting near Boston. The format will be a day of invited presentations by representatives of multiple groups mixed with interactive discussions. On Wednesday, July 11, there will be a follow-on internal OMG meeting that will review the workshop and discuss its implications for future OMG activities.
