Come and meet some of the IRMOS team at this event.

"In a first event of its kind, ETSI is bringing together key stakeholders of the grid, cloud and telecommunication domains in an ETSI Plugtests™ event. Unlike previous ETSI Grid Plugtests, which have essentially been a programming contest on a fixed grid infrastructure, the aim of this event is to assess the deployment of fixed test applications on different commercial as well as open source infrastructures."

The aim of the Plugtests is to assess the deployment of fixed test applications on different commercial as well as open source infrastrucutres.  The workshop will include keynote speeches, invited presentations and panel discussions from representatives of leading standardization bodies, industry and academia.

Topics of interest include:

• Grid & Cloud: differences & commonalities
• Industry visions of service oriented infrastructures
• The need for interoperability in service oriented infrastrucutres
• Results & lessons learned from the Plugtests
• Success sotries & challenges
• Energing trends around grids, clouds & service oriented infrastructures
• Paving the way for cooperative standards development
