Two international conferences have been/will be organised in China to showcase results, exchange knowledge and learn about developments from emerging economies. Site-visits may be organised around the events in China, to have a first hand experience of the local technologies and developments. Balanced representation of industry and academic participants will be ensured.
The Second International Conference will take place in Shenzhen, China, on 24-26 October 2008, in conjunction with the 7th International Conference on Grid and Cooperative Computing (GCC 2008).
At this final dissemination event, EchoGRID will present the final roadmap as well as the latest achievements of the consortium.
Foreseen EchoGRID participation at GCC 2008:
* One keynote speech describing the roadmap overall results, vision.(25 October morning)
* Two sessions on topics related to the Roadmap and EchoGRID results (between 24-26 October)
Feedback
from the participants will be analysed in order to verify the benefits
gained by participants, learn lessons for other event organisations and
particularly to obtain preliminary information on knowledge sharing
experiences, future co-operation development & future planned
activities. A Follow-up report & evaluation of results will be
compiled including recommendations, future steps
and conclusions.
Following this conference, EchoGRID organises an EU-China Cooperation workshop on 28 October 2009 in Beijing. This workshop is organised to promote research collaborations between China and Europe in the Grid, as well as Services and Software Technologies areas.
Both European and Chinese representatives will gather for this workshop:
- the European Commission
- the Chinese Ministry Of Science and Technology (MOST)
- EU projects such as EchoGRID, BRIDGE, XTreemOS, GridCOMP, and several other projects involving chinese partners
- Chinese and European Industries (Huawei, China Mobile Research, Thales, Atos, ENG...)
The First International Conference was held in Beijing on 24-27 April 2007
and was co-organised with LIAMA and CNIC. This Conference presented

ProActive has been successfully used as a strong vehicle for interoperability in the first 3 Grid Plugtests, and it is also the current reference implementation of the GCM (Grid Component Model). Moreover, as an Open Source middleware part of the OW2 consortium, ProActive is being used by several industrial companies in production applications. The objective of this EchoGrid two-day course on ProActive are : - to prepare for the fourth Grid Plugtests being part of EchoGrid, - help Chinese teams that want to compete in the challenge, - help industrial users to get started with ProActive and use Parallel and Grid Computing. |
