EGEE User Forum

The third EGEE User Forum will be held in Clermont-Ferrand, France on 11-14 February, 2008. The program consists of daily plenary sessions featuring distinguished keynote speakers, followed by parallel sessions focusing on grid use within the many user disciplines, and also on specific grid technologies and techniques. Sessions for demonstrations and posters will augment the oral program, and provide a key element of the forum.
 
The program committee invites abstracts for contributions following three general themes:

Scientific Results Obtained Using Grid Technology:
Contributions should concentrate on scientific results that have been produced with the help of grid technology. These contributions should emphasize how grid technology enhanced the result (results obtained faster, results were more precise, results were possible only because of the grid as collaborative platform, etc.)

Application Porting and Deployment:
Contributions should concentrate on the functional requirements required to port an application to the grid infrastructure, emphasizing how grid technology and services meet those needs. Issues encountered when porting the application or experiences running it should be included in the presentation, if possible.

Existing or Prospective Grid Services:
Contributions should concentrate on developed grid middleware services or APIs. These presentations should explain the purpose of the software, typical use cases, and how the software interacts with other grid services. Deployed software should include real-world experiences with it; proposed services should provide an implementation plan.
