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
