2007 Grid Computing and e-Research Expo
The University of Melbourne
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: Nov. 30 (Friday), 2007
Time: 1pm-5pm (join us for lunch between 1-2pm)
Venue: Room. 4.04
Dept. of Computer Science and Software Engineering
University of Melbourne, ICT Building
111 Barry Street, Carlton
Webpage: http://www.gridbus.org/expo/

*** An Invitation to Participate ***
*** Open to All and Free Entry! ****

The Expo organized as part of Melbourne e-Research Day aims to:

* bring together researchers, developers and users of Grid technologies
and e-Research applications to share and exchange ideas,

* demonstrate Gridbus technologies and e-Research applications developed
in collaboration with Australian and international organisations.

* explore how we can collaborate and work together in Grid-enabling your
applications and/or in advancing Grid technologies to the next level!

Grid Technologies @ Expo:
-------------------------

At the Expo, we will demonstrate Grid tools and technologies that assist in:
* the construction of grids that scale from enterprise to global level,
* grid-enabling your resources and the publication of their services,
* resource management,
* workflow and process management,
* application development or grid-enabling legacy applications, and on
demand deployment of applications on enterprise and global grids.

The Grid technologies to be demonstrated include the following:
----------------------
      * Aneka: Next Generation Enterprise Grid
      (successor of our high impact Alchemi system)
      * Gridbus Broker: http://www.gridbus.org/broker
      * GridSim: http://www.gridbus.org/gridsim
      * Grid Workflow Engine: http://www.gridbus.org/workflow
      * SensorWeb: http://www.gridbus.org/sensorweb

e-Research Grid Applications @ Expo:
-----------------------------------
At the Expo, we will demonstrate how eResearch applications developed by
our collaborators harnesses enterprise and global Grid resources located
within the University, distributed across Australia and around the
world. The application demonstrators include:

      * Distributed Kidney Modelling (Faculty of Medicine)
      * Protein Secondary Structure Predication
      (Dept. of Electrical and Electronics Eng.)
      * Ray Tracing and Image Processing
      * Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)
      * Sensor Network applications

In addition, our colleagues from the rest of the University will also be
showcasing interesting applications. They include:
  * MUSE Collaborative Space for All
  * Distributed and Reflective Neuroimaging Data Management System
  * Access Grid

Please join us for the whole of Melbourne's key e-Research demonstrations.
