DA.00001: The Emerging Global Cyberinfrastructure: Data Intensive Science in the 21st Century Invited Speaker: As the volume and complexity of scientific data continue to increase exponentially with time, so does the demand for access to computational resources which are needed to store and analyze that data. The size of scientific collaborations has also increased, growing in many cases to be the ``big science'' equivalent of a multi-national corporation. Grid Computing, conceived in the late 1990's as a way to seamlessly link computing resources spread across multiple organizations, has emerged as both an infrastructure and a paradigm for enabling large-scale, data-intensive, collaborative science. This talk discusses how Grid Computing is leading the creation of a national and international cyberinfrastructure whose aim is to enable science communities, ranging from bioinformatics to physics and astronomy, to harvest the scientific bounty from the current and next generation of data intensive experiments.

DA.00002: Exploiting the Grid for Elementary Particle Physics Invited Speaker: The next generation of experiments in elementary particle physics will require peta-scale cyber-infrastructure: they will generate petabytes of data a year and require petaflops of computing to analyze this data. The required computational resources and the physicists involved will be geographically dispersed (internationally). To maximize the quality and rate of scientific discovery by these physicists, all must have equal ability to access and analyze the experiment's data. As such, particle physicists are actively involved in the development of Grid technology and have been early adopters of the technology. I will describe how particle physicists intend to exploit this important new tool. [Preview Abstract] |

DA.00003: Grid Computing in Numerical Relativity and Astrophysics Invited Speaker: The emerging field of Grid Computing promises to revolutionize the way scientists perform their research in the computational sciences, providing for higher throughput, complex workflows, increased collaboration and use of shared data archives, as well as new scenarios connecting people, compute resources, data storage, high speed networks and experimental devices. We discuss Grid Computing in the context of numerical relativity and astrophysics and show past prototypes and experiments using the Cactus Einstein toolkit and current state-of-the-art work which integrates simulation codes with the Grid Application Toolkit for application use of a range of Grid Services. Finally we present future plans and scenarios for integrating numerical relativity simulations and gravitational wave data analysis via shared data storage and advanced metadata services.
