The use of Linda in Grid computing. If you're not familiar with Linda, its a programming model (i.e. it can be added to existing languages) that does interprocess communication using a free-form tuple space. Tuple spaces offer an alternative to message-oriented service oriented architectures like Web-services.

I've always wanted to go, but, it's just a shade too expensive to fly 7000km and fund it all myself. So, I make do with reading the papers, watching the videos, etc. This year, big bonus, there are some blogs covering it.
