EGICF12-EMITC2
26-30 March, 2012
Munich, Germany
published December 04, 2012

The EGI Community Forum is being held, together with the second EMI Technical Conference, at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) in Garching near Munich. The event is an opportunity for the research community that depends upon distributed computing infrastructure to share knowledge and explain its needs and vision so that the European Grid Infrastructure (EGI) can better support the community’s research over the coming years. A key goal of the Community Forum is to showcase the role that EGI plays in enabling innovation across the European Research Area. The Forum is therefore highlighting the services, technologies and tools available to the scientific community. Contributions to the scientific program have been selected according to their applicability to the following five tracks: Users and communities, Software services for users and communities, Middleware services, Operational services and infrastructure, Coordination and Communication. By collocating the second EMI Technical Conference with the Forum and other development initiatives, technology providers can mix with research leaders to enable greater understanding, sharing and coordination of plans and future development work.
