MINI-WORKSHOP

GT4 Status & Experience

Chair: Dr Jennifer Schopf

Abstract:
Globus Toolkit version 4 (GT4) represents a significant advance over earlier GT versions in terms of software quality, functionality, and standards conformance. This workshop will provide an opportunity for people both to learn about GT4 and to hear from groups working with it. We will also present the latest features incorporated into the GT4 source repository, the Globus roadmap outlining plans for future developments, and the new GlobDev community development process.
