"ACE Grid Working Group Proposal"

    mission - Charlie Catlet approached EVL and
    ANL regarding the need for a visualization or
    human factor working group for the Grid. The
    present working groups were techno centric - 
    computer 2 computer - The ACE grid working
    group should focus on human 2 computer
    
    goals of BoF - spread the word, get techs involved
    continue discussions
    
    goals of working group -
    * define charter
    * edit and prioritize goals
    * set up milestones
    
    Draft Charter - 
    * Share ideas and Codes
    * Find Standardized framework so there is a larger
      audience to share resources
    * Listen to other working groups to determine 
      when they are gathering their user requirements
    * There is a reason why gaming and online communities
      are compelling and we need to learn from them
    * Concrete examples: Integration, AccessGrid, Tele-Immersion,
      launch point for tools, set of standards for deployment
    * What is in it for you? community of useful work
