AstroGrid-2 Consortium Meeting Overview (Dec 14-15, 2004) - Planning and Functional Improvements
The AstroGrid-2 planning meeting held on December 14-15, 2004, in Edinburgh aimed to expand and improve the core infrastructure supporting automated resource discovery, AstroOntology developments, and Grid technology innovations. Key functional improvements discussed included enhanced security measures, inter-component trust, and new storage mechanisms. The meeting outlined strategic approaches for integrating modifications, emphasizing modeling changes, and defined roles for workgroups, management teams, and deployment strategies towards optimizing the AstroGrid framework.
