I propose that the regrep-scm folk create a position paper stating that
'Federated Registries enable the semantic backbone of a grid'

>>****************** CALL FOR PAPERS ************************
>>
>> 2nd Workshop on
>> Semantics in Peer-to-Peer and Grid Computing (SemPGRID)
>> at the
>> Thirteenth International World Wide Web Conference
>> 17-18 May 2004, New York, USA
>> in cooperation with the
>> GGF Semantic Grid Research Group (SEM-GRD)
>> Workshop URL: http://www.isi.edu/~hongsuda/SemPGRID04
>>
>>
>>Topics and Content
>>-----------------------------------
>>
>>The Semantic Web is widely accepted as a means to enhance the Web
>>with machine processable content. However, mostly the Semantic Web
>>is aiming at techniques and technologies for static information,
>>in contrast to dynamic services or distributed computing. Several
>>interest groups and efforts are working on infrastructure for
>>enabling distributed computing. The organization of these efforts
>>are in part top down organized efforts, involving multiple formal
>>organizations and dedicated projects, and bottom-up efforts,
>>sometimes started by single organizations or individuals in a
>>grassroots effort.
>>
>>The Grid is aiming at technologies which allow the flexible,
>>secure, coordinated resource sharing among dynamic collections of
>>individuals, institutions, and resources, enabling virtual
>>organizations. Problems encountered include authentication,
>>authorization, resource access, resource discovery, and
>>interoperation of active services. The same problems are eminent
>>in the Peer-to-Peer (P2P) area, where projects are typically
>>organized in a bottom-up fashion. Infrastructures like the
>>TeraGrid and SUN's JXTA are emerging, attracting numerous
>>applications. However, each application uses its own data format,
>>and it is hard to see how applications interoperate.
>>
>>A related area is Web Services: driven by industry efforts
>>numerous specifications are developed, which are of interest for
>>the Grid projects as well as for the Peer-to-Peer efforts.
>>Although there is an agreement that Web Services would benefit
>>from more semantics, little systematic research has been done on
>>how to combine the notions of Web Services with the Semantic Web,
>>Peer-to-Peer and/or Grid computing technologies.
>>
>>Topics of interest for technical papers include, but are not
>>limited to, the following:
>> * Scalable infrastructures for service discovery in Grid
>> computing and P2P networks, e.g., based on reconfiguration
>> of the network with respect to shared interests or shared
>> ontologies
>> * Interoperation infrastructure for enabling heterogeneous
>> peers to exchange and translate information
>> * Emergent Semantics and incrementally learning and evolution
>> of ontologies in an P2P environment
>> * Metadata infrastructures for P2P and Grid computing
>> * Task ontologies and service composition languages
>> * Service Composition framework
>> * Data Integration of P2P and Grid applications
>> * Interaction of the Semantic Web and Grid Services
>> * Semantics-based routing
>> * Agent-Architectures based on P2P and Grid Computing
>> technology
>> * The role of Semantics in the Open Grid Service Architecture
>>
>>
>>The workshop will be organized in part around talks presenting
>>research results in the intersection of the Semantic Web, P2P and
>>Grid computing. Another important part of the workshop will be
>>break-out groups, focusing on the amalgamation of Semantic Web and
>>distributed computing. We hope the break-out groups will evolve
>>into independent working groups and generate follow-up activities,
>>which contribute to the technology areas. The proceedings will be
>>published on the Web.
>>
>>
>>Submission and Important Dates
>>-----------------------------------
>>We invite the submission of technical papers as well as position
>>statements. The submitted papers should be formatted as close as
>>possible to the rules of Springer LNCS (see

>>"Proceedings and Other Multi-author Volumes" for formatting
>>instructions). Technical papers should have max. 20 pages
>>including references, Position papers should not exceed 2 pages.
>>Please submit documents as HTML, PDF, or Word to .
