Joint Workshops on e-Science Workflows in Budapest

EGI and SHIWA are joining forces to run a combined workshop event that will be hosted by the Hungarian NGI in Budapest on 9-10^th of February 2012. The workshops will focus on the use of workflows in e-Science and in the European Grid Infrastructure in particular, and will aim to present ‘the art of the possible’ from the perspective of those involved in delivering the service, and try to explore ‘what is needed’ from the perspective of users in scientific researchers in the user community. In other words, we aim to put stakeholders (developers and users of grid services) together in one room so that we can collectively determine how best to advance ‘Scientific workflow systems’ in this demanding and dynamic field.
