All,
The 6th annual GRP Workshop (6GRP), co-located with the IEEE International Conference on e-Science 2025 in Chicago, Illinois, September 15-16, 2025, presented a unique opportunity for the communities served to meet, present architectural concepts, strategies, innovations, technologies, and to discuss progress, outcomes, and lessons learned. The 6GRP final program and presentations are now available on the GRP website.
6GRP was a big success. There were approximately 50 attendees over the two days, with 21 presentations given by speakers from 7 countries: Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, Korea, Netherlands, Poland and the USA. Some speakers presented their large-scale applications and network communications requirements, while other speakers presented recent innovations and implementations. All talks were extremely well received and questions and comments were insightful.
Organizers are already planning next year’s Workshop, to be held September 28-29, 2026 and co-located with the IEEE International Conference on eScience 2026 in Naples, Italy.
