Forthcoming Australian meetings
- 2005 January ~30: Australasian
Workshop on Grid Computing and e-Research (AusGrid 2005)
Interest in Grid computing in Australia
and internationally is rapidly growing, driven by real-world applications
of increasing scale and complexity.
The Australian Partnership for Advanced Computing and its state partners
are supporting e-Research by deploying a national grid infrastructure
and working to grid-enable applications in areas such as physics, astronomy,
chemistry, geoscience, earth sciences and life sciences. The Australian
Research Council is also planning to implement an initiative to support
e-Research in Australia.
- 2004 November 18-19: Australian
Virtual Observatory Workshop 2004
This workshop is our annual get-together
of all interested parties to discuss the accomplishments of and future
directions for Australian involvement in the Virtual Observatory projects.
Past Australian meetings
- 2004 September 10 10:00 - 11:30: Aus-VO Partner Meeting via Access
Grid
- 2004 June 29 10:30 - 13:30: Aus-VO Partner Meeting via Access Grid
- 2003 November 17-18: Australian
Virtual Observatory Workshop 2003
This workshop is planned to bring together
all interested parties to discuss possible future directions for Australian
involvement in the Virtual Observatory projects.
- 2003 July 13-26: IAU
General Assembly 2003
The 25th General Assembly will include six
exciting Symposia, three in the first week and three in the second,
21 Joint Discussions, four Special Sessions and many Division and Commission
Meetings. There will also be three invited discourses. The Assembly
will be held in the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre in Darling
Harbour.
- 2003 June 7: Gridbus
2003: International Workshop in Service-Orientated Grid and Utility
Computing
The aim of Gridbus workshop is to bring
together our existing collaborators and new researchers to develop new
collaborations. The workshop will feature a series of short informal
presentations with major emphasis on discussion: evaluating what has
been achieved so far and identifying opportunities for collaborative
research and development.
- 2003 June 5-6: The
Fourth Pacific Rim Applications and Grid Middleware Assembly (PRAGMA)
Workshop
Working groups will report on progress to
date and also plan and implement a set of outcomes. There will be a
tutorial of the locally developed parameter sweep tool Nimrod/G using
a case study from Quantum Chemistry. To support the tutorial, GAMESS
package will run on a range of resources, some of which will form the
PRAGMA testbed.
- 2003 March 12: Australian
and UK e-Science Meeting
Representatives from the UK e-Science Programme
visited the School of Physics at the University of Melbourne for a one-day
workshop attended by e-Science interest and applications groups.
- 2003 January 28-29: Observing
the Synthetic Universe: Theoretical Astrophysics and the Virtual Observatory
There is growing international and local
interest in establishment of Virtual Observatories, where a wealth of
astronomical information is available with a few keystrokes. The Universities
of Melbourne and Sydney, the ATNF & the AAO have already received
ARC LIEF funding to investigate Australia's potential role in the International
Virtual Observatory projects. But Virtual Observatories can be much
more than giant databases of observational data. Organised by the Australian
National Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics (ANITA), the goal of
this workshop is to establish the role theoretical astrophysics will
have in Virtual Observatories.
- 2002 November 27-28: The
Virtual Observatory in Australia
A group of Australian institutions (Universities
of Melbourne and Sydney, Australia Telescope National Facility and Anglo-Australian
Observatory) have applied for seed funding to develop an Australian
capability in the international Virtual Observatory projects. The initial
application through the ARC LIEF program has been funded for 2003. It
is anticipated that further funding will be requested in 2003 for the
years 2004-2006. This workshop is planned to bring together all interested
parties to discuss possible future directions for Australian involvement
in the Virtual Observatory projects.
