This is the fourth workshop of the International Lattice Field Theory Network (ILFTN), which aims at constructing a cooperative international framework in lattice field theories among universities and research institutions in Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, and the US. For the Japanese funding which has been provided by JSPS, this is a wrap-up workshop to summarize the activity in the past couple of years.
The purpose of the workshop is to summarize what we have achieved so far in this research program, to estimate its impact on our researches and on the outside of our field, and to discuss what to do next.
Of course larger portion of the workshop time will be allocated to physics discussions on lattice QCD simulations in general, from machines and algorithms to hadron phenomenology.
In addition we discuss the status and future of "International Lattice Data Grid", which provides a system to share the simulation data internationally, to prepare for the official ILDG start-up in June 2006.
