GlobusWORLD
"The Globus Toolkit(TM) - The Open Source for Grid Computing"
http://www.globusworld.org

Hilton San Diego Resort
San Diego, California USA
January 13 - 17, 2003

Over the past few years the grass-roots success of the Globus Project 
"Retreats" has permeated the academic, research, vendor and corporate user 
spheres to create a universal recognition of the significance of the Globus 
Toolkit as the open source solution for Grid Computing. Globus Retreats 
have featured hands-on training, presentations of future plans, and 
experiential talks by Globus users, developers, and partners, as well as 
social events to help build the Globus community. The most recent Globus 
workshop in January 2002 drew 250 people from around the world to Chicago 
to learn how to incorporate Globus into their Grid efforts.

Given the accelerating demand for more intensive information, training and 
discussion on Globus and Grid Computing, the Globus Project created 
GlobusWorld to take place in 2003, from 13-17 January at the San Diego 
Hilton Resort. GlobusWorld will provide a forum for the discussion and 
presentation of current user experiences, opportunities and future 
directions for the Globus Toolkit and Grids, and practical training for 
hands-on Globus Toolkit users.

The GlobusWorld conference will feature three tracks of distinguished 
invited speakers, lecturers, interactive panels, and forward-looking 
roundtables:

-- Track 1 - Enterprise Planning for Grids
-- Track 2 - Architecting Grids with Globus
-- Track 3 - Developing and Administering Globus.

Unique to GlobusWorld, the "Enterprise Planning" track will offer strategic 
perspectives on Grids and Globus to open and facilitate discussions for 
enterprise planning and executive decision-making.

In addition to 2.5 days of conference, GlobusWorld will offer participants 
an opportunity to delve more deeply into key topic areas by attending one 
of six focused Tutorials immediately preceding the conference, or by 
participating in any of three intensive hands-on Workshops during the last 
two days.
