******************* Call for Papers *******************
The 8th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Grid Computing (Grid 2007, http://www.grid2007.org)
Austin, Texas, USA, September 19-21, 2007
Grid computing is evolving from the sharing of powerful computers for widely distributed applications to service orientation, open standards integration, collaboration, and virtualization. The ongoing development of the Grid as a service-oriented architecture for transparent and reliable distributed computing allows the reuse of existing components and information resources, and the assembly of these components in a flexible self-organizing manner. Hiding the complexity and technical details of the Grid from end users and application developers is going to play a crucial role in the future, for which issues related to security, provenance, automatic recovery, machine-interpretable metadata, QoS and SLA negotiation, etc. will have to be carefully addressed.
The Grid conference series is an annual international meeting with the objective to serve as both, the premier conference presenting best Grid research and as a forum for free exchange of ideas. Grid 2007 will feature invited talks, workshops, tutorials, and refereed paper presentations where new concepts are introduced and explored.
Topics of interest (in no particular order) include, but are not limited to:
* Applications, including eScience and eBusiness Applications * Distributed and Large-Scale Data Access and Management * Computing and Programming Models * Programming Tools and Environments * Distributed Problem Solving * Creation and Management of Virtual Enterprises and Organizations * Information Services * Resource Management, Scheduling, and Runtime Environments * Architectures and Fabrics * Scientific, Industrial and Social Implications * Monitoring, Management and Organization Tools * Middleware and Toolkits * QoS and SLA Negotiation * Grid Economy and Business Models * Autonomic and Utility Computing on Global Grids * Cluster and Grid Integration Issues * Networking and Security * Performance Measurement and Modeling * Metadata, Ontologies, and Provenance
**************** Important Dates ****************

****** News ******
Tony Hey from Microsoft and Carole Goble from University of Manchester will give keynote presentations in Grid2007.
Paper submission is open now for Grid 2007.
***************** Technical Papers *****************
Grid 2007 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work (also not submitted elsewhere for review) reporting solid and innovative results in any aspect of grid computing and its applications. Papers should not exceed 8 single-spaced pages of text using 10-point size type on 8.5 x 11 inch paper (see IEEE author instructions (PDF), a LaTeX style sheet and Word format is available, too). All bibliographical references, tables, and figures must be included in these 8 pages. Submissions that exceed the 8-page limit will not
be reviewed. Authors should submit a PDF file that will print on a PostScript printer. Electronic submission is required. The site for submissions is http://www.easychair.org/Grid2007/
If you submit a paper for the first time through EasyChair you have to register first. The registration process is fairly simple (start by pressing the button "I have no EasyChair account"). Once you have a username and password you can log in to the EasyChair submission system and submit your paper. For additional questions concerning the registration and submission procedure, please contact: grid2007@easychair.org
Papers must be submitted by April 7, 2007. No extensions will be given. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper.
Proceedings: All papers selected for this conference are peer-reviewed and will be published as a separate proceeding. After the event, the papers will also
be published in the IEEE Xplore and the CS digital library. For author instructions see http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm.
