A community building collaborations and advancing grid-based applications

Founding Motivations

• The grid is transforming computing and collaboration

• The problem remains that the grid is too hard to use

• Middleware software needs to interoperate

• Science is an intrinsically global activity

Overarching GoalsEstablish sustained collaborations

and

Advance the use of the grid technologies for applications

among a community of investigators working with leading institutions around the Pacific

Rim

PRAGMA

Working closely with established activities that promote grid activities or the underlying infrastructure,

both in the Pacific Rim and globally.
