The goal of the DSL Workshop is to provide a forum to discuss the state-of-the-art in the area of Grid Computing and Distributed Systems. Students, staff, researchers, and faculty are welcome to participate in the workshop to learn about the current work done in the Distribute System Labs at University of Chicago and Argonne National Labs. External speakers will also be presenting their work relevant to the workshop. For more details on previous workshops (2006 and 2007), click here.

The DSLW 2008 will be held in the Research Institute (RI), Room 480, 5640 South Ellis Ave., Chicago, IL, 60637. For more information about the location of the Research Institute building, please click here.
