The EchoGRID workshop held in Beijing on October 28, 2008, brought together participants from China and Europe to discuss emerging technologies critical for EU-China collaboration. Key topics included cloud computing, virtualization technologies, service orientation, and dynamic management of virtual organizations. The consensus was that cloud computing is the next significant trend, converging with grid and service computing paradigms. Issues such as security, usability, and fault tolerance were also highlighted, emphasizing the need for collaboration in testing, validation, and certification of software.

Process • We organized a round table letting the participants to express their personal views • Which technologies should be investigated in the framework of the EU – China collaboration • Questions / answers on Technological issues www.echogrid.eu EchoGRID workshop – Beijing – October 28, 2008
Virtualization Technologies / Cloud computing • Discussion on Cloud computing came several times from both Chinese and European participants • There is a consensus that Cloud is becoming the next buzzword… • There is also a general opinion that behind Cloud, virtualization technologies are becoming important • What are the essential differences between Grid / Cloud / P2P / Service computing ? • All share the same vision: computing as utility www.echogrid.eu EchoGRID workshop – Beijing – October 28, 2008
Virtualization as a unified concept to implement various utility computing paradigms • Are we converging to an unified infrastructure ? www.echogrid.eu EchoGRID workshop – Beijing – October 28, 2008
Other possible topics for collaboration • Testing, validation & certification of software • Dynamic management of Virtual Organizations • Security & Trust Management • many unsolved issues… • Usability • Large scale fault-tolerant systems • Programming models and their associated software environments • Comparison of various approaches • Experiments on various testbeds www.echogrid.eu EchoGRID workshop – Beijing – October 28, 2008
