The User Forum is an annual key event of the EGEE project. The forum provides an important opportunity for members of the grid community exploiting the technologies developed by EGEE and various collaborating projects, to present their work, discuss grid technology use with colleagues, and learn about advances in middleware and application services.

The 4th EGEE User Forum is co-located with OGF25 and OGF-Europe's 2nd international event. This combined event will once again strengthen the links between EGEE and the Open Grid Forum, bringing users and standards bodies together to ensure that the future of the grid is complemented by the establishment of key standards.

The Program Committee invites abstracts for contributions in one of following general topics

• Scientific results obtained using grid technology
• Planned or on-going scientific work using the grid
• Experiences from application porting and deployment
• Grid Services exploiting and extending gLite middleware (job management, data management, monitoring, workflows etc)
• Programming environments
• End-user environments and portal technologies
• Emerging Technologies within the EGEE infrastructure (cloud, virtualization etc)

Contributions may be offered for oral presentation, posters or demonstrations.  The official language for the abstracts is English.
