Some of these applications include collaborative environments, distributed computing, computer-enhanced instrumentation, distributed data mining, digital libraries, and problem solving environments. The Grid Forum is being proposed as a means of enhancing the effectiveness of these diverse activities by providing communication among practitioners and, in particular, the definition of standard infrastructure elements. We would like to give the working groups the opportunity to identify and commence discussion in their topic area. Idea exchanges between the working groups are planned to allow identifying important action items for a successful collaboration. It is emphasized that the goal of the Grid Forum is to establish a broad-based community forum that accommodates a variety of interests and approaches.
Broad participation is encouraged.
