1. 1st International Conference on Semantics, Knowledge and Grid
SKG2005
1st International Conference on Semantics, Knowledge and Grid

2. Introduction
David De Roure

3. Visions e-Science Grid
e-Science is about global collaboration in key areas of science and the next generation of infrastructure that will enable it
Grid
“…flexible, secure, coordinated resource sharing among dynamic collections of individuals, institutions, and resources - what we refer to as virtual organizations”

4. Requirements
These visions require an infrastructure for flexible, coordinated resource sharing
They are about joining resources up, automatically, in order to do things that weren’t possible before
We wish to reuse
Data, Services, Knowledge, Software
Anticipated use and Unanticipated use

5. Two infrastructure enablers
An automatically processable, machine understandable web
Distributed knowledge and information management
Information integration
On demand transparently constructed multi-organisational federations of distributed services
Distributed computing middleware
Computational Integration

9. Motivation Future visions of computing involve Virtualisation
Raising the level of abstraction over scale and heterogeneity of resources
This requires automation
Self-managing, Self-configuring, Self-healing
This requires machine processable descriptions and content
This requires semantics and knowledge
This requires SKG2005 !
