The 3rd EDGeS User and Industry Forum Meeting is an ISC'09 satellite meeting. The EDGeS User & Industry Forum Meeting's theme will be "Desktop Grids and their role in Science and Enterprises". After the two previous and successful EDGeS User and Industry Forum Meetings in Paris, France, May 2008 and Debrecen, Hungary, September 2008, this third event will focus on bringing together Grid application users, developers and companies in order to discuss the possibilities of using Desktop Grid technology to get more computing power at reduced costs in universities and companies. The linking of different kinds of Grids, Desktop Grids, Service Grids such as EGEE and supercomputer Grids such as DEISA will also be discussed.
This annual workshop provides a forum in which to present research results in all areas related to the design, development, and evaluation of storage devices and systems.

EGEE is the largest service grid in Europe using the gLite grid middleware. BOINC is the most used volunteer desktop grid technology in the world. EDGeS integrates gLite based service grids with BOINC and XtremWeb based desktop grids. In this way the EDGeS infrastructure is the largest potential grid infrastructure in the world. The subject of the summer school is to give insights in these technologies (gLite, BOINC, XtremWeb and EDGeS) as well as in tools and programming environments by which users can develop and run applications on this enhanced grid infrastructure.

Ramin Yahyapour (University of Dortmund, Germany)Virtualization has become a common abstraction layer in modern data centres, enabling resource owners to manage complex infrastructure independently of their applications. Conjointly virtualization is becoming a driving technology for a manifold of industry grade IT services. Piloted by the Amazon Elastic Computing Cloud services, the cloud concept includes the notion of a separation between resource owners and users, adding services such as hosted application frameworks and queuing. Utilizing the same infrastructure, clouds carry significant potential for use in high-performance scientific computing. The ability of clouds to provide for requests and releases of vast computing resource dynamically and close to the marginal cost of providing the services is unprecedented in the history of scientific and commercial computing.

During the seminar participants will receive first hand information about the planned PRACE research infrastructure, services and usage, representatives from industry (Airbus, BMW and SMEs) will demonstrate their competitive advantage through the regular use of HPC. This seminar will also contain four parallel sessions which will allow participants to discuss about their needs and expectations regarding PRACE infrastructure and services like organisation and business models, network and security, relations with ISV (Independent Software Vendors) and license cost and finally user support and training needs.
XML is widely recognized as the standard de facto for coupling with the heterogeneity of data repositories and software platforms of distributed environments. In light of this, distributed XML processing play a key role in the context of a plethora of modern distributed data, information and knowledge management applications and systems. Distributed XML processing deals with both theoretical and practical aspects, ranging from sophisticated theoretical contributions and tools to efficient algorithms and frameworks. Topics of interest include a wide range of areas of
meaningfully using XML in distributed environments.Denilson Barbosa, University of Alberta, Canada

The HiBi - High performance computational systems Biology - workshop establishes a forum to link researchers in the areas of parallel computing and computational systems biology. One of the main limitations in managing models of biological systems comes from the fundamental difference between the high parallelism evident in biochemical reactions and the sequential environments employed for the analysis of these reactions. Such limitations affect all varieties of continuous, deterministic, discrete and stochastic models; undermining the applicability of simulation techniques and analysis of biological models. The goal of HiBi is therefore to bring together researchers in the fields of high performance computing and computational systems biology. Experts from around the world will present their current work, discuss profound challenges, new ideas, results, applications and their experience relating to key aspects of high performance computing in biology.

self-organizing, self-managing, self-repairing, self-healing, self-optimizing, self-adaptive, and self-protecting. Research in distributed systems is now at a crucial point in its evolution, marked by the importance of dynamic
systems such as peer-to-peer networks, large-scale wireless sensor networks, mobile ad hoc networks, robotic networks, etc. Moreover, new applications such as grid and web services, banking and e-commerce, e-health and robotics, aerospace and avionics, automotive, industrial process control, etc. have joined the traditional applications of distributed systems.
