Th. Priol is the Director of the ACI GRID Program, funded by the French National Ministry of Research. The ACI GRID is the national French initiative in the area of Grid computing. L. Bougé is member of the Scientific Committee if this program.

National Grid 5000 Project.

The ACI GRID Program has launched the Grid 5000 Project in order to build a national Grid infrastructure for research in Computer Science. The objective is to set up a constellation of large clusters in 8 major research laboratories throughout the country, amounting altogether to 5,000 processors, interconnected by a high-performance large-area network. As the chairman of the ACI GRID Program, Th. Priol is member of the steering committee. Y. Jégou is member of the steering committee as a representative of Irisa within this initiative.

CNRS, GDR ARP.

L. Bougé chairs the CNRS Research Co-operative Federation (Groupement de recherche, GDR) on Architecture, Networks and Systems, and Parallelism (ARP, http://www.arp.cnrs.fr/). He has been serving since Year 2000. This GDR GDR is run by the STIC CNRS Department. It is one of the 6 nation-wide animation networks (GDR d'animation) run by the Department. It has been renewed for another 4-year term in 2002. Virtually all the French academic researchers active in these areas are registered in the GDR. As of today, this amounts to ca. 1000 persons. The term of L. Bougé will end at the end of 2005.
