Distributed Programming Abstraction Workshop at the Mardi Gras Conference
30 January, 2008 Baton Rouge, Louisiana
The DPA Theme will have a one-day meeting at the 15th Mardi Gras Conference on the 30 January, 2008 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This Workshop will consists of a series of a broad range of invited talks and panel discussions. Somewhat different to earlier DPA workshops (and very different to the Authors' Meetings) this workshop will provide a broader sampling of "distributed applications" and support for programming; this is in keeping with the focus of the Mardi Gras conference 2008 -- Lightweight mash-ups to Lambda Grids: Understanding the spectrum of distributed computing requirements, applications, tools, infrastructures, interoperability, and the incremental adoption of key capabilities.

And although the Satoshi Matsuoka's Mardi Gras Keynote isn't formally part of the workshop, it is related and somewhat motivated by the theme and this workshop. Also, the closing panel, Next Steps for Networks, Software, Standards supporting e-Research (panelist: Ed Seidel, Craig Lee, Larry Smarr and Malcolm Atkinson) for the Mardi Gras conference will cover many topics of interest to the theme (and the eSI in general).
