LAGRID'07
---------
The goal of the Latin America Grid (LAGrid) workshop is to act as a
forum for technical presentations of ongoing research, development and
relevant activities in the area of Grid Infrastructures, Services and
Applications, in the context of and/or in partnership with Latin America.
The event focuses on bringing together researchers and professionals
actively working in this field, promoting multi-institutional
collaborations between groups of diverse competences.

The LAGrid workshop gives particular attention to the Grid deployment
initiatives in Latin America and the challenges they face as regards
the distribution of and efficient access to scarce compute, storage
and communication resources in this continent. Discussions and presentations
about new application areas and the potential impact of Grid technology
in Latin America are also of main interest. Authors are therefore
particularly encouraged to submit reports about their experiences in
deploying Grid Infrastructures, Services and Applications.
