Overview

Last November (2008), a call was issued to identify a list of potential research topics that should be covered by the activities of the ERCIM CoreGRID WG during the next two years. You will see below a list of topics that have been selected by the WG core group members (CoreGRID Executive Committee). Very soon, we expect to have a description of these topics allowing anyone to apply to be member of the ERCIM CoreGRID WG. This will not be restricted to former CoreGRID Members. We would like to attract new members especially in the area of Service Computing. A formal procedure, through the signature of MoU, will be set up and membership applications will be reviewed by the WG core group members.
