Registration for the 2008 Access Grid Retreat, to be held 28-30 May 2008 at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada, will close on 25 April; space is limited so early registration is recommended. The Access Grid Retreat is an annual event involving users, developers and researchers concerned with the Access Grid software and with collaboration research. The Retreat Program typically includes presentations suitable for people at all levels of technical understanding, from first time users to developers to researchers in collaborative technology and streaming media.
The Access Grid Retreat is an ideal environment for the AG community to share recent experiences and research findings, to present ideas for future AG technical directions, and to train and educate AG newcomers. Two tracks of sessions allow participants to focus on either AG technical issues or activities related to AG operations. This annual meeting will not be broadcast over the Access Grid, but, as with past retreats, will focus on bringing the global community together with face-to-face discussions on topics ranging from AG collaboration experiences to node installation and troubleshooting to AG development directions. |
