INTRODUCTION
A variety of technologies have been proposed as a basis for developing grids addressing knowledge-based systems in science, industries and businesses.
State-of-the-art demonstrates ability to transform data into information and knowledge, to analyse and understand patterns in the data, ability to develop and execute complex workflows, and ability to investigate how a particular result has been derived across multiple services. However, the development of these systems poses new problems and challenges, both in terms of technology and other factors, such as trust, security, legal and ethical constraints.
OBJECTIVES
The aim of the Workshop is to focus on challenges, applications and lessons learned from the following approaches in modern grid and Web-based computing environments:
- Semantic Web,
- Complex workflows,
- Data mining,
- Provenance tracking mechanisms.
This open, cross-thematic Workshop will confront the technology push of these new technologies with the functionality pull. The Workshop will consist of presentations of up to 10 accepted papers followed by a panel discussion addressing the objectives of the Workshop.
REGISTRATION AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Please visit the Europa website Helsinki 2006 IST event to learn more about the KnowledgeGrid workshop.
TARGET AUDIENCE
The Workshop will use the IST launch event to bring together an interdisciplinary mix of experts from various domains and business. It is one in a series of steps in a coordinated action that is enhancing the European grid technology base through concertation among the RTD projects and verification of their relevance through immediate feedback of the industry and business.
We welcome:
-
Academics with links to industry
- CIOs of business, industry, particularly engineering in need of state-of-the-art IT
- CIOs of government agencies, CTOs of academic ISPs
- CTOs of system integrators, telecoms, ISPs

Discussion
The Workshop will proceed in a structured discussion forum moderated by the organisers. The audience is invited to actively contribute to the discussion on the following topics:
- What is still needed for businesses to adopt Knowledge Grid technologies?
- What business models are realistic for Knowledge Grid solutions?
The best accepted abstracts will be invited to be published in extended version in the Future Generation Computer Systems - Journal of Grid Computing. This will follow usual peer-review procedure. |
