Robert Cohen,
Craig A. Lee,

2. Industrial Applications: Mission Statement
Promote the adoption and use of grid computing in industrial application domains
Connect industrial requirements to the standards process in a timely fashion

3. Objectives for CY05 Identify and Expand Possible Methods of Operation
Identify Common Business Cases/Issues for Grid Adoption
Build Engagement Model for Industrial Application Domains
Contact and Develop Industrial Application Areas
Build the Telecom Industry Research Group within GGF by linking it more closely to areas that respond to industry participants’ needs and building more of a track record in contributing to telecom Grid development
Initiate a Pharma Industry Focus Group within GGF to build participation of end users, vendors and others. The initial meeting of this group will be at the GGF Athens meeting.
Promote Involvement and Participation in Community Council Tracks

4. Methods of Operation Function as an "Industrial Grid Users Group”
"Watercooler" venue for industrial adopters, deployers, maintainers and users of commercial grid technology
Build trust & interaction among birds-of-a-feather
Place to hammer-out industry-specific grid standard profiles
Link industry adopters more closely to the standards development process
Create avenues for industry to play a more constructive and interactive role with standards groups in GGF
Build trust & interaction w/ standards groups

5. Common Business Cases/Issues for Grid Adoption
What business/operating models do grids enable?
What competitive advantages do grids enable?
What issues force industrial players to play “close-to-the-vest”
When will standardization promote competitive advantage (and not damage it)?
How to identify and promote such standardization?
Correct misconceptions about grids.
They are not just clusters or doing cycle harvesting.
What inhibits grid adoption?
What are the needed remedies?

6. Engagement Model for Industrial Application Domains
Identify primary domain experts and contact information
Identify avenues to contact principles
Professional acquaintances, friends of friends, etc.
Identify high-visibility, well-attended venues
F2F meetings, get to know domain experts personally
Speaking opportunities
Identify specific business cases/Issues affecting this domain
Develop responses that address these issues
Engage domain experts at GGF meetings
Develop critical mass of domain people to run regular GGF meetings
