Title::  Utility, Cloud and Grid Computing.

The terms cloud and utility computing have come into vogue in a big way in recent years. So much so that these terms have occupied a place in several national dailies. Yet there remains significant confusion as to what this is even among the technical community. Some people argue that these are merely extensions to the Grid computing paradigm.

This workshop aims to bring together a few technologists with different perspectives on various facets of these technologies - ranging from hardware platforms, software platforms to the applications themselves - to throw some light on what these new trends mean and how they may manifest going forward.

There will be talks on different aspects followed by an open panel discussion where the speakers will solicit questions from the audience and attempt to provide their perspectives.
