OLD WEBSITE of the Relational Grid Information Services Research Group (RGIS-RG)

This web site has been superceded by the NEW WEBSITE for RGIS-RG. The following exists for historical interest.

This is the web site of the Relational Grid Information Services (RGIS) Research Group, which is within the Grid Information Systems and Performance Area of the Global Grid Forum.

The RGIS research group serves researchers who are exploring approaches to static and dynamic Grid information representation based on database data models such as the relational data model. It has its roots in a task group under the Grid Information Services (GIS) working group and in work on relational approaches to performance data within the Grid Performance Working Group.
