Issue 50: iSGTW 14 November 2007

Celebrating one year of International Science Grid This Week

This issue, International Science Grid This Week celebrates its first anniversary. Since our launch we have published more than 250 grid-related articles.

During this time, interest in grids has skyrocketed. But what does the future hold?

We asked EGEE, OSG, the European Commission and the U.S. National Science Foundation and Department of Energy for their birthday thoughts.
