Programme

• The innovative business track introduced at the last conference in Geneva, Switzerland, has been renewed this year, giving the business community an opportunity to understand how to benefit from Grids and adopt Grid technologies;
• The application track saw technical discussions on what techniques are best suited for applications and what issues applications still face on the EGEE infrastructure following the input received at the 2nd EGEE User Forum. A demo and poster area complemented the application track and a special drink in the demo area enhanced the networking possibillities;

• Various collaborating projects interacted with EGEE and within their community in the collaborating projects track. A sustainability workshop has been one of the highlights of this track. Collaborating projects have been also invited to take part of the conference exhibition;

• Finally, the EGEE activities coordinated in the cross-activity track which has been complemented by an EGEE federations track that provided coordination facilities for the EGEE federations.

The parallel sessions featured the following topics:

• Grids in Business
• Grid operations
• Grid security
• gLite integration, certification, configuration and release
• Grid Interoperability
• Application tracks looking into various issues concerning the user domains
• Interactions between EGEE and Collaborating Projects
• A number of workshops and meetings involving our Related projects
• A one-day workshop on Grid sustainability via the National Grid Infrastructure (NGI)/European Grid Infrastructure (EGI) model
• The Administrative Federation Committee and Collaboration Board will meet on Wednesday 3 October

On top of this there were many networking moments during lunch breaks, coffee breaks and between sessions. On the opening day of the conference all delegates have been invited to a welcome drink organised at the conference venue. The Gala-Dinner was held on 3 October, on the conference boat “Europa” combined with a “Budapest by night” trip.

The EGEE’07 programme featured a demo and exhibition area where businesses and Grid related projects have been invited to present themselves and their particular field of interest to the Grid community, to meet and network with future partners in EGEE, other projects and international participants from scientific institutes in any different fields.
