History

In 2005, the inaugural GridAsia was launched by National Grid Office (NGO), with Mr. Lim Hng Kiang, Minister for Trade and Industry, as the Guest of Honour.

GridAsia 2009 is the fifth event in the series. As in previous years, delegates are invited to participate in the conference, workshops, tutorials, presentations and special session discussions, fostering active interchange of research ideas and experience. The programme and social events lined up will provide an invigorating brew of networking opportunities. This year, GridAsia will be co-located with APECTEL 39 Meeting.

With the ardent support of industry in sponsorship, providing speakers and panelists as well as organizing co-located workshops, the previous three GridAsia events were resounding successes.

This series with the Grid Computing theme caters to everyone keen on Grid, from interested individuals, practitioners and user organizations in business and industry, to the research and development community. GridAsia is already a major annual event for the region. It will continue to bring together researchers and practitioners in Grid Computing as well as related technologies and applications.

GridAsia is increasingly becoming an important platform to enable attendees and participants to share experiences, discuss their research findings, network and explore opportunities for collaboration. Delegates are expected to come from local and overseas academia, research institutes and laboratories, both in the public and industry sectors (such as biomedical, digital media, physical sciences and manufacturing).
