Thanks, -- MarkNorman <> == Focus Group == An ESP-GRID focus group was held at OUCS on Thursday 28th April 2005 in Conference Room A, at the Oxford University Computing Services (OUCS). The proposed subject for discussion was - Brain Storming Meeting – Actors and Use-Cases for a 'Generic Grid'. The meeting was facilitated by Mustie Rahman (Mustafizur Rahman, OeSC - Oxford e-Science Centre and Oxford University). === Proposed agenda === Brain Storming Meeting – Actors and Use-Cases for a 'Generic Grid' 28 April 2005 * 10.30 Welcome and introduction (Mark Norman) * 11.15 Discussion about the definition of Grid computing from the Use-cases document (Mustie Rahman) * 11.45 Discussion on the Actors and the Use-cases (Mustie Rahman) * 12.45 Lunch served in the conference room * 13.30 Discussion on the Actors and the Use-cases (Mustie Rahman) * 14.30 Break * 14.45 Summary of the day, and Discussion about any contentious issues - incorporating attendance via portable Access Grid (Mustie Rahman) * 15.15 Closing remarks (Mark Norman) * 15.30 Planned end === Attendees === * Bruce Beckles, Cambridge University * Brock Craft, UCLIC - University College London Interaction Centre * Matthew J.

This was used as the main focus for discussions to start things off. == Photos == * {{http://users.ox.ac.uk/~alun/documents/scutters/BrainStormMeetingImages/brainstormBW1.JPG}} * {{http://users.ox.ac.uk/~alun/documents/scutters/BrainStormMeetingImages/brainstormBW2.JPG}} * {{http://users.ox.ac.uk/~alun/documents/scutters/BrainStormMeetingImages/brainstormBW5.JPG}} * {{http://users.ox.ac.uk/~alun/documents/scutters/BrainStormMeetingImages/brainstormBW6.JPG}} * {{http://users.ox.ac.uk/~alun/documents/scutters/BrainStormMeetingImages/brainstormBW7.JPG}} * {{http://users.ox.ac.uk/~alun/documents/scutters/BrainStormMeetingImages/brainstormBW8.JPG}} * {{http://users.ox.ac.uk/~alun/documents/scutters/BrainStormMeetingImages/brainstormBW9.JPG}}
