Founding Motivations
• Science is an intrinsically global activity
IVOA
• The grid is transforming computing and
collaboration
• The problem remains that the
grid is too hard to use
• Middleware software needs to
interoperate

Overarching Goals
Establish sustained collaborations
and
Advance the use of the grid technologies for
applications
among a community of investigators working
with leading institutions around the Pacific
Rim
Working closely with established activities
that promote grid activities or the underlying infrastructure,
both in the Pacific Rim and globally.
