Suggestions for  Presentations

As pointed out in the CFP, the focus of this workshop is to find solutions to the problems at hand. Therefore, the presentation should follow the headline "Discovering those common components and interfaces that will allow desktop access to remote resources." It could be valuable to analyze your project and point out solutions your team has developed in order to address some of the problems. It is also important not only to find that an "abstract" concept could be reused or developed, but it is very important to find out what is in place right now and can be reused by others (possibly components). This will lead us to identify  issues which have not been worked on before.

Since all of use are already sufficiently knowledgeable in many of the projects, it would be great to keep the overview slides for a project to a minimum. It is more important to point out concretely what solution you provide and how you do it. An example for a slide we probably do not need is: What is Metacomputing? This is the reason why the Globus talk is entitled: "Reusable Globus Java Components." The talk will not give an introduction to Globus, but focus on graphical user interfaces and class libraries developed to make the desktop access more easy.

We list the following issues, which we would like to address in the workshop and follow-up discussions. The list is not intended to be a complete classification, but to remind us of some important issues (for a more complete list see the CFP):

We would also like to collect the presentations for an online proceedings of this workshop as well as reference material.
