Second Thematic Workshop on
Fabric Management
8th-9th July 2003,
IT amphitheatre, CERN
Organized by the CERN openlab for Datagrid applications
After the
first openlab Thematic
Workshop, which was held in March 2003 on data and
storage management, we are pleased like to announce a
new workshop on "Fabric Management" for the 8th and
9th of July.
The set-up will be the same as for the first workshop:
CERN presentations on the first day, one-on-one
presentations with each company (as desired) on the
second day.
This workshop is open
to openlab sponsors and to anyone interested at CERN
