The Data Intensive Cyber Environments (DICE) group and CC-IN2P3, the
Computing Center of the National Institute of Nuclear and Particle
Physics (Centre de Calcul de l'Institut National de Physique Nucléaire
et de Physique des Particules) in France, have announced a workshop on
iRODS, the Integrated Rule-Oriented Data System.

The four-day workshop will be held February 2-5, 2009 at CC-IN2P3 in
Lyons, France. Registration is free of charge and open 
http://indico.in2p3.fr/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=1234
   through the January 10, 2009 deadline. This is a pre-registration
form, and due to limited space accepted registrations will be
confirmed by e-mail. Early registration is suggested.

Chaired by researcher Jean-Yves Nief of CC-IN2P3 and Reagan Moore,
DICE group director, the upcoming workshop will bring together
researchers new to iRODS who want to learn more about iRODS and data
grid technology, as well as others already using iRODS in a range
different communities.

The workshop will open with presentations from users on applications
of iRODS technology. Those interested in presenting should contact
Jean-Yves Nief [nief at cc.in2p3.fr]. For examples of how people are
applying the versatile iRODS technology see the DICE website 
[http://diceresearch.org/DICE_Site/Examples/Examples.html
].

The workshop will also include a tutorial on an Introduction to the
iRODS Data Grid System, and a tutorial on Rules and Micro-services.
These two key features of iRODS let users translate their high-level
management policies into powerful Rules that automate data management
operations.  The rules control the execution of  the lower-level Micro-
services at the distributed servers where data are stored.

On the fourth day there will be parallel sessions to help communities
with common interests explore and build collaborations to apply and
develop iRODS for their specific needs. Planned community sessions
tentatively include Astrophysics, Medical Records, Arts and
Humanities, and Preservation Environments.
