The National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign will host the next gathering of the Pacific Rim Application and Grid Middleware Assembly (PRAGMA). PRAGMA 13 will be held Sept. 23-25, 2007. PRAGMA was formed in 2002 to establish sustained collaborations and advance the use of grid technologies in applications among a community of investigators working with leading institutions around the Pacific Rim. The 29 PRAGMA institutions meet twice a year at workshops held around the globe. Registration for PRAGMA 13 will open soon, and information on the workshop can be found at: www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Conferences/PRAGMA13/index.html.
