Grid WG initial objectives (1998) setting up a computational grid across the Pacific linking up APAN member organizations with participants for collaborative high performance computational projects, Globus, Ninf, Netsolve, etc. facilitating research in metacomputing and enabling other user communities to apply high performance computational tools for their specific disciplines

working group charter new working group charter discussion to update the role of the Grid WG discussion starting discussion Aug. 2002 the first draft Sep. 2002 the second draft Dec. 2002 the final version Jan. 2003 participants APAN Grid WG, APAN NR ApGrid, PRAGMA, APEC-TEL Data Grid

roles to be a neutral interface between APAN and grid communities in AP (ApGrid, PRAGMA, APEC-TEL) To provide an interface between APAN and the grid communities, include community groups such as ApGrid, PRAGMA and APEC TEL. To collect and summarize requirements of networking technology and infrastructure from grid and other related communities for APAN technology area. To collect and identify requirements of grid technology from APAN user community. To introduce the updated grid middleware technology to APAN user community and natural resource areas. http://www.apan.net/groups/grid/gridcharter.htm
